Smart Guest Room Management System (GRMS)

At Chatrium Grand Bangkok, every property features an intelligent Guest Room Management System that blends comfort, efficiency and automation. This system integrates advanced HVAC and lighting control with real-time sensor technology to ensure a consistently pleasant environment for our guests while promoting energy conservation.

Each guest room includes

PIR Motion Sensors
These detect human presence by comparing temperature differences between moving guests and the ambient space. When motion is detected, the lighting and air-conditioning systems are activated or maintained to deliver a welcoming atmosphere.

Magnetic Door Sensors
These monitor whether the guest room door is open or closed. When the door is opened and then closed, the system responds by activating Welcome Mode. Lighting turns on and the air-conditioning is restored to guest-friendly settings.

System Functionality
Unoccupied Mode
When no motion is detected for more than ten minutes, the system enters an energy-saving state. Lights are turned off and the air-conditioning is adjusted to a higher temperature with reduced fan speed to conserve energy.

Occupied Mode
When a guest enters and closes the door, the system activates lighting and sets the air-conditioning to a comfortable temperature. Any motion or interaction with in-room switches or the thermostat resets the internal timer to ensure continuous comfort. If the room remains inactive for ten minutes, the system returns to energy-saving settings but will immediately resume full function when movement is detected again.

This intelligent automation is part of our commitment to gracious living and mindful hospitality, providing a refined experience that is both comfortable and sustainable.
