The Room Knows
What You Need.
Smart room automation integrates AV, lighting, blinds, climate, and room booking into a single, intuitive system — controlled from a touch panel, a mobile app, or triggered automatically by occupancy and schedule.
What is a smart room?
A smart room is a meeting or workspace where the technology layer — AV, lighting, climate, and booking — operates as a single integrated system rather than independent, manually operated devices. When a meeting starts, the room responds. When it ends, the room resets. Staff interact with one interface — not five separate remotes and switches.
Who is it for?

The Problems Smart Rooms Solve
Five systems — five remotes
A room with a separate display remote, lighting switch, blind controller, thermostat, and video conference system requires five actions to set up and five more to shut down. A smart room does all of this with one button press.
Rooms left powered on after use
Displays, lights, and air conditioning left running in empty rooms waste energy and shorten equipment life. Occupancy‑sensor automation powers everything down when the last person leaves.
Booking and physical reality don't match
A room booked on a calendar system but empty for 30 minutes wastes space. Smart rooms release bookings automatically when no occupancy is detected — making the space available for others instantly.
Scope of Work
Smart Room Scenarios — What Happens When
Meeting Starts
Display powers on, camera initialises, lights switch to meeting mode, blinds close if projecting, codec joins call.
Presentation Mode Selected
Blinds close, room dims to presentation level, display switches to laptop input, audience speakers enabled.
Whiteboard Mode
Lights switch to whiteboard zone full brightness, camera adjusts to face the whiteboard, annotation tool enabled.
Room Vacant for 15 Minutes
Occupancy sensor triggers — display off, lights dim, air con setpoint raised, booking released.
Meeting Ends
One press of 'End Meeting' — display off, lights to standby, blinds open, codec call ended, room reset to default state.
