InterContinental Hotel Auckland \u00d7 eelectron<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The InterContinental Hotel Auckland deployed eelectron’s KNX solution to enable coordinated control of lighting, climate, and shading, automatically adjusting based on guest occupancy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interaction is via customizable capacitive push buttons and KNX thermostats, while occupancy sensors enable automatic activation and energy savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The infrastructure is built on eelectron’s F Series KNX actuators, KNX\/DALI gateway, and IP interface<\/strong>, supporting centralized monitoring and remote control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project integrated third-party systems including access control, HVAC BMS, room booking, and housekeeping for real-time synchronization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A comparable hospitality reference is the Mercure Hotel Timi\u0219oara, which utilized a customized 9025 bedside panel<\/strong> with fully customizable backlit capacitive buttons and a capacitive KNX thermostat<\/strong> with RGB feedback strip .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
