The door opens
The system records the first event of the exit sequence.
How Voltic works in a room
Voltic turns every room into a smart room by combining several devices that work together.
Sensors, thermostat and switch coordinated to save energy without the guest having to do anything.

Vacancy detection
How Voltic knows a room is empty
Voltic considers a room empty when several events come together. This time can be adjusted from the platform and, by default, is usually set to around 10 minutes.
2
The door closes
Voltic confirms that someone has crossed the room door.
3
No presence detected
The configured time passes with no movement inside the room and the system assumes the guest has probably left.
How Voltic works day to day
The guest uses the room as usual while the system manages energy in the background.
When the guest enters the room
When the door is opened and closed, Voltic records that there has been an entry or an exit. From that moment, the system checks whether there is real presence inside the room.
If it detects movement, it keeps the room active: lighting, HVAC and automations work according to the configuration defined by the hotel.
The guest doesn't have to do anything different. They walk in, use the room normally and the system works in the background.
When the guest leaves the room
When the exit sequence is completed, the system understands that the guest has probably left and applies the automation defined by the hotel. Typically it:
- Turns off the HVAC.
- Turns off the lighting connected to the system.
- Prevents the room from keeping consuming energy without real occupancy.
This solves one of the most common problems in hotels: rooms that stay switched on because a card has been left in the card holder.
If the guest is inside but not moving
Voltic doesn't decide based on the absence of movement alone. The system combines information from the presence sensors with the door open and close events.
That's why it doesn't treat a room someone just left the same as a room where the door hasn't been opened for hours. For example, if the guest is sleeping, there has been no recent exit sequence and the system doesn't automatically assume the room is empty just because there is little activity for a few minutes.
This logic reduces unwanted shut-offs and lets detection times be adapted to the hotel's real operations.
When a window is opened
If the guest opens a window or balcony door, the sensor detects it. After a configurable time, the system can turn off the HVAC in that room. By default, this time can be about 1 minute, although the hotel can adjust it as it sees fit.
When the window is closed again, the system allows the HVAC to return to normal operation according to the configured mode. In addition, the thermostat can show a visual notice so the guest understands that the HVAC stopped because the window is open.
Temperature control
Voltic lets you control the setpoint temperature and set limits to avoid unnecessary consumption. The guest can keep using the thermostat, but within the ranges defined by the hotel.
This keeps comfort without letting the room run for hours in inefficient conditions. In addition, the hotel can configure different operating modes, such as eco mode, comfort mode or special settings for specific rooms.
What the hotel sees from the platform
From the platform, the hotel can check the status of each room in real time and act remotely.
Real-time data
For each room you can check:
- Energy consumption
- Presence
- Actual temperature
- Configured temperature
- Window status
- Humidity
- Light level
- Entry and exit events
- Technical alerts or abnormal behavior
Remote actions
Without going to the room, you can:
- Turn the thermostat on or off
- Change temperature setpoints
- Switch operating modes
And at scale
Apply changes in bulk
