Control4’s Suite Systems are being used to enhance the experience in more than 4,300 guest rooms in the ARIA Resort & Casino and Mandarin Oriental at CityCenter, Las Vegas. Control4 develops software and hardware for controlling virtually any room, home or building from anywhere at any time.

 

The Control4 Suite Systems enable guests to control every aspect of the room environment and also interact with entertainment and hotel services. Simultaneously, it provides CityCenter with unparalleled control of energy usage.

 

Scot Campbell, senior vice president and chief information officer, MGM MIRAGE Information Technology, present day consumers are conscious of being green even when they travel. Control4 Suite Systems allow CityCenter to control energy consumption in rooms when they are not in use. In addition, guests can control all aspects of the room with a single remote control.

 

Control4 Suite Systems provide guests with personalized automation that was previously available only in high-end custom homes and select resort suites. When a guest opens the door to his room, he will be greeted with an automated welcome experience, the lights will gradually come on, the drapes will open, and the TV will turn on to display a list of automated controls.

 

With the help of one remote and the intuitive Control4 on-screen view, guests can use the TV to set the systems in their rooms to their personal preferences. This even includes lighting levels, room temperature, television/video systems, music, drapes and guest services.

 

Since all guestroom devices are incorporated into one platform, it is easy to provide “scenes” that modify all settings at once. For example, each room will feature a “good night” button on the touch screen next to the bed. This button will turn off the lights, TV and/or music; close the drapes and also turn on the privacy notification for the room. Similarly, guests can select a “wake-up” scene where lights and music gradually come on, the temperature comes up, and the drapes open.

 

In addition, after a guest has checked out, a room can be put in “unoccupied” mode quickly. This will shut off the lights, heating or cooling, entertainment systems and any other electronic device in the room.

 

Control4 Suite Systems integrates with property management systems to deliver concierge-type services. It will also automate the guestroom, based on check-in/check-out status. In addition, Control4 Suite Systems is used to provision and manage guest rooms and alert technical systems to problems like low batteries in remotes. It can be implemented on-site or from a remote monitoring location.

 

Control4 manufactures a line of wired and wireless automation products that makes safety, convenience, comfort and economy available to anyone. The products from Control4 deliver a complete solution by integrating the control of lighting, audio, video, landscape and climate into a single system.
