L hôtel de la Monnaie shines in home automation

Renovated by its new owners, l hôtel de la Monnaie, an historic building in La Rochelle, chose to install an advanced automation system. Including constraints such as conserving part of the existing wiring, the renovations were carried out in a model room prioritizing occupants ease of use and personal comfort. In the common

areas, motion detectors control the lighting. The system is supervised from the reception desk: choice of lighting scenario, room temperature adjustment, or automatic key management at registration. The result: Electrical consumption cut in half, with improved modern comfort and aesthetics, says the hotel manager.
