Abstract: An in-room IOT control system includes a base module, a voice and touch interactive display extending above the base module, and a controller operable by the user to remotely (e.g., wirelessly) control the state of a plurality of environmental features including temperature, music, lighting, curtains, water, hotel services, amenities and entertainment. The display includes a digital mouth, the movement of which is synchronized to synthesized speech spoken by the module.

Abstract: An IOT module includes a thermostat controller operable by the user to remotely (e.g., wirelessly) control the state of the relay which, in turn, operates the PTAC/HVAC unit in much the same way (typically a wired connection) as the wall mounted thermostat previously did so before being replaced (or augmented) by the relay.

Abstract: A system for customizing a hotel, timeshare, or rental property guest experience includes a layered in-room PaaS System with an IOT network control module configured to control a plurality of IOT connected room devices including a remotely controlled electronic or mechanical devices; a Cloud platform to collect system, property and guest data that will then be processed through analytics and algorithms to improve the guest experience and deliver cost savings for the property, a mobile app running on a guest mobile device, the mobile app configured to remotely control the IOT network control module; an enterprise server configured to communicate with the IOT network control module; and a local computing module configured to communicate with the enterprise server, wherein the enterprise server controls the transmission of data between the IOT network control module and the property.
