Here’s a clip from a write up on their work at Aria and The Mandarin Oriental in Las Vegas:
Having all guestroom devices incorporated into one platform makes it easy to provide “scenes” that modify all settings at once. For example, each room features a “good night” button on the touch screen next to the bed, which turns off the lights, TV and/or music; closes the drapes; and turns 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 for a more soothing wake-up experience.
After a guest has checked out, a room can quickly be put in “unoccupied” mode, which shuts off the lights, heating or cooling, entertainment systems, and any other electronic device in the room.
