Project Background

A rebranded and refurbished hotel in eastern Guangzhou

Location and the nature of the retrofit

The hotel sits in Xintang Town, Zengcheng District, Guangzhou - at the junction of Guangzhou, Dongguan and Shenzhen, an area with strong business-travel and transit demand. It was rebranded and refurbished from the former Zengcheng Kaisuimen Hotel into a boutique property for business and younger travellers, with 92 guest rooms.

A refurbishment places a natural constraint on room control: it must upgrade the guest experience without large-scale damage to finished interiors. Conventional wired room control needs new cabling - usually meaning wall chasing and demolition, with cost and programme risk quickly running away.

The Challenges

Protecting finished interiors, a fixed opening date, always-on operation

  • A retrofit, not a new build - installation had to stay light-touch to protect completed ceilings, walls and finishes.
  • A fixed opening date - the hotel opened in August 2026; commissioning had to dovetail with the wider fit-out programme.
  • Always-on infrastructure - room control runs 24/7 and must be low-maintenance and remotely upgradable.
  • Fast post-opening support - a fault in a guest room directly affects guest experience, so a nearby supplier matters.

The Hotekey Solution

Bluetooth Mesh wireless control across 92 rooms, retrofitted without re-cabling

Bluetooth Mesh wireless gateway

One gateway per room, connecting over BLE / Wi-Fi to the Hotekey cloud platform. Panels and devices form a wireless mesh, so no control cabling has to be added.

Smart panels

In-room wall scene panels for lighting and scene control, with one common logic set across all 92 rooms for simpler maintenance.

Dedicated sockets and sensors

Five-hole, UPS and waterproof sockets in a unified finish, plus low-voltage door sensors and motion night lights.

Cloud platform management

Device status visible in the cloud, with remote configuration and firmware updates.

Project Value

  • Bluetooth Mesh wireless architecture - no re-cabling, no damage to finished surfaces.
  • One common control logic across 92 rooms for standardised operation and simpler staff training.
  • Devices connected to the Hotekey cloud platform, reducing inspection and troubleshooting cost.
  • Same-city delivery and after-sales in Guangzhou for faster, lower-cost long-term support.
Confirmed scope: Bluetooth Mesh wireless gateways + smart panels + dedicated sockets (Aduo Grey) + door sensors + motion night lights, across 92 guest rooms.
Not included in this scope: wired RCU controller, KNX lighting, curtain motors, AC thermostats, knob panels / smart displays, public areas, and hotel PMS integration.
