Hotels & extended stay

Guest privacy you can put in writing. Rooms that stop wasting energy the moment they empty.

ALLIE gives a property room-level occupancy without keycards, door sensors or cameras, driving HVAC and lighting, informing housekeeping, and quietly watching over guests in distress behind a closed door.

Hotel operations with room-level occupancy

The property's problem

Half the day, the room is empty and the building doesn't know it.

Guest rooms sit unoccupied for hours at a time while HVAC and lighting run for nobody. Keycard systems were meant to fix this and guests defeated them on day one. Cameras are out of the question. ALLIE senses real presence from the switch on the wall, and keeps the guest's privacy intact.

By the numbers

The empty room is the most expensive room in the building.

Use cases

One fixture swap. Six things a property gains.

Guest-room energy

Setback when the room is truly empty, recovery before the guest returns. Radar sees a sleeping guest that a motion sensor would miss.

No keycard dependency

Nothing to leave in a slot, no second card in a pocket, no door contact guessing. Presence is measured, not inferred.

Guest in distress

A fall in an unfamiliar bathroom at 2 a.m., alone behind a deadbolt, reaches the desk with the room number and a severity read.

Housekeeping status

Live vacancy by room helps housekeeping sequence work without knocking on occupied doors.

Extended stay & senior travel

Longer stays and older guests raise the duty-of-care bar. ALLIE meets it without changing the room.

Back-of-house security

After-hours presence in storage, offices and restricted floors flagged instantly, with no cameras added anywhere.

The guest privacy commitment

What you can tell every guest, in one sentence.

“There are no cameras and no audio recording in your room. The room knows whether it is occupied so it can save energy and get you help if you need it, nothing more.”

What that sentence rests on

  • No image sensor exists in any ALLIE fixture, so there is nothing to disable, cover or audit
  • Radar resolves presence and motion, not faces or bodies a person could recognize
  • Acoustic sensing recognizes event signatures such as a fall; it does not record or stream audio
  • Signals are processed inside the fixture; events, not streams, leave the room
  • Guest-facing notices and staff scripts are part of the deployment plan
Full privacy & security architecture

Hospitality means noticing what a guest needs before they ask. ALLIE extends that to the one moment a guest cannot ask, and does it without ever looking.

Duty of care, without surveillance

Deployment

Fits the renovation cycle. Or a single floor to prove it.

ALLIE fixtures replace the switches, outlets and vents already in the room, so the natural moment is a soft-goods or PIP renovation, but a pilot floor can be swapped during normal maintenance. Occupancy events integrate with building management and property systems; distress and security alerts route to the front desk, security or an on-call manager.

Pilot floor

10–30 rooms, before-and-after energy and comfort data.

Integration

Occupancy to HVAC controls and PMS/housekeeping; alerts to desk and security.

Guest comms

In-room notice language and staff talking points included.

Portfolio

Room-hours conditioned for nobody, by property, by month.
