Hotel Retrofit
For existing hotels going smart, we offer two retrofit routes — Wireless Mesh and Wired RCU: minimal wall-breaking, minimal downtime, with guestroom control, lighting, HVAC and scene automation refreshed as a whole.
Wireless Mesh vs Wired RCU · Which to choose
Wireless Retrofit
Bluetooth Mesh wireless networking — panels, luminaires and sensors install as-is with almost no rewiring; shortest schedule and least business impact, ideal for phased upgrades of operating hotels.
Wired RCU Retrofit
Industrial-grade CAN-bus RCU: modules store independently, a single fault never takes down the network, and local control survives network outage — for retrofits that demand long-term stability and scalability.
Wireless Mesh vs Wired RCU Retrofit
Both routes share the same technology base; they differ mainly in wiring effort, schedule and fit, and can be combined per the hotel's operating rhythm.
| Dimension | Wireless Mesh | Wired RCU |
|---|---|---|
| Wiring | Nearly none; battery / neutral-line panels | Partial CAN-bus wiring |
| Schedule | Shortest, room-by-room | Moderate, conduit & cabling |
| Downtime | Minimal, hours per room | Low, phased work |
| Stability | Good, self-healing Mesh | Industrial, local control offline |
| Scalability | Add device, join network | Hot-swappable modules, easy expand |
| Best for | Budget / select / mid-scale hotels | Upscale hotels needing stability & integration |
Wireless Mesh · Smart without disturbing guests
Keep existing power circuits; replace traditional switches with wireless panels, dimmers and sensors. Gateways plug into the existing network — no wall-breaking.
Wire-free panels
Battery or neutral-line smart panels, stick-on install, no damage to existing finishes.
Wireless dimming / switch
Add wireless dimming modules at luminaires; LED-compatible, flicker-free, keep original fixtures.
Door / DND / make-up
Wireless door sensor and status panel sync room state to front desk and WeChat butler.
Wireless HVAC
IR / RF AC controllers join the Mesh; welcome and sleep scenes linked.
Plug-and-play gateway
Per-floor wireless gateway into existing switches, centrally managing the floor.
WeChat butler
Guests control lights, curtains, AC and requests via WeChat — no app install.
Wired RCU · Industrial-grade stable base
Deploy CAN-bus RCU panels and modular devices where partial wiring is possible; if any module fails the system auto-recovers in 5 seconds — built for long-term reliable operation.
CAN-bus RCU
Industrial CAN bus, multi-master with bus error-correction; one fault never halts the net.
RCU distribution box
Standard pre-assembled box with CAN power and circuit protection, install-ready on site.
Hot-swappable modules
On failure, correct data auto-downloads to the new module — unplug, swap, done, no expert on site.
Offline local control
TCP/IP heterogeneous networking; panels still control the room when the network drops.
Full scene linkage
Welcome, sleep, read, night, DND, make-up-room scenes switch with one tap.
BMS integration
Gateways tie into BMS / BA and the hotel management platform for unified O&M.
Phased retrofit · Upgrade while open
01 Survey
Assess existing power, network and finishes; set wireless/wired ratio and scope.
02 Pilot room
Retrofit 1–2 demo rooms to validate experience and stability before rollout.
03 Phased build
Rolling work by floor or zone, hours per room, business basically uninterrupted.
04 Commissioning
Scene authoring, door display and WeChat butler connected; train and hand over.
Retrofitting an old hotel?
Our team delivers end-to-end — survey, pilot, phased build and commissioning. Wireless and wired routes can be combined on site.
