Frequently Asked Questions
Can RCU work with third-party hotel PMS?
Yes. Every Hotekey RCU connects to Hotekey Cloud and supports interfaces with major PMS platforms for real-time room status, energy reports and check-in/out automation. Tell us your PMS brand and we map the integration.
What certification does hotel RCU need for a Mongolia hotel project?
Typically CE for the EMEA / Central Asia market, plus local electrical compliance. Hotekey RCU is built to hotel-grade safety and EMC standards; we supply the declarations needed for customs and on-site inspection.
What is the cost of a hotel guest room control system?
It depends on room count, communication standard (RS-485 / KNX / BLE / Zigbee), panel grade and PMS scope. Send us the room schedule and we return a per-room BOM and quote within 2 working days.
KNX or RS-485 for hotel room control?
RS-485 / Modbus is cost-effective and robust for new builds; KNX fits luxury projects needing a standards-based building backbone. See our KNX vs RS-485 comparison.
Does Hotekey RCU support anti room hopping?
Yes. The PMS compares card-in events across rooms and flags unauthorized room transfer in real time. See the Mongolia hotel RCU case.
Wireless or wired RCU for renovation?
Renovations usually choose BLE Mesh or Zigbee RCU to avoid rewiring; new builds use RS-485 / KNX. See how to select RCU for new hotel construction.
