Digital door locks can be connected to the energy management system in the room in some cases, especially in hotels or accommodation that use smart home technology or intelligent automation systems. These systems help to manage energy in the room more efficiently and can be connected to digital door locks as follows:
- Working with a key card system to cut off the power
- Some digital door locks can be connected to a key card to cut off the power in the room. When the guest inserts the key card into the power slot, the system will turn on the electrical equipment in the room. When the key card is removed or the room is left, the electricity will be cut off automatically.
- This type of digital door lock will work with the power supply in the room efficiently, reducing unnecessary energy consumption such as lighting, air conditioning or TV. - Connectivity to Smart Home System
- In smart home system, digital door lock can be connected to smart electrical and energy control system via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, which allows remote control of lights, air conditioners or electrical appliances in the room. The room owner or hotel can set automatic energy management via mobile application.
- When guest open or unlock the door, digital door lock may send signal to smart home system to turn on necessary lights or electrical appliances and turn off the devices when leaving the room. - Setting up the auto-lock system with energy management
- The digital door lock can be set to automatically lock when the guest leaves the room, linking with the energy management system in the room to automatically cut off the power when the door is locked, ensuring that every time you leave the room, energy is not wasted. - Presence Detection
- In some hotels or accommodations where presence sensors are used, digital door locks can be connected to these systems to automatically turn on or off electrical appliances based on the movement of the guest. When the system detects that the guest has left the room, the door lock will lock and immediately cut off the power to the room. - Centralized Energy Management System
- In hotels with centralized energy management systems, digital door locks can be connected to the hotel’s energy management system, allowing hotel managers to monitor and control energy usage in each room from a centralized control center. This can reduce energy usage in rooms that are unoccupied or unused for long periods of time. - Energy Management System Alerts
- If the digital door lock is connected to an energy management system, the hotel can set the system to alert when it detects inappropriate or abnormal energy usage, such as the door being unlocked or power is still running even when there are no guests in the room, which helps to improve security and efficient energy management.
Benefits of connecting a digital door lock to an energy management system
- Save energy and reduce costs: The system will cut off power and unnecessary electrical appliances when there are no guests, which helps to reduce unnecessary energy usage.
- Improve guest comfort: The system will turn on electrical appliances such as lights and air conditioners when a guest unlocks the door or enters the room, making the room atmosphere ready for use immediately.
Easier energy control and management: Hotel owners or managers can remotely control energy usage in the room via an app or control center.
- Enhanced security: The system can prevent inappropriate energy usage or unauthorized room entry.
In conclusion, digital door locks can be connected to the energy management system in the room, especially in hotels or accommodations that use smart home or automation systems. These connections increase the convenience of energy management and also help hotels save energy costs effectively.
