New Environment Monitoring System Ensures Hotel Guest Comfort
Sensaphone introduces its Sentinel PRO cloud-based system that provides low-cost 24/7 remote monitoring of unattended HVAC units, water boilers and chillers. The technology seeks to address guest comfort as a key to return visits and hotel success. Hot water and comfortable ambient air temperature are vital to an enjoyable stay.
Hotel facility managers use the Sentinel PRO system to detect changes in critical environmental conditions such as high/low temperature, humidity fluctuations, water leaks and power outages. When the Sentinel PRO system senses a problem, it immediately sends alerts via phone, text or email. This instant notification allows hotel personnel to take fast corrective action to ensure guest satisfaction.
The Sentinel PRO monitoring and data acquisition system interacts with all existing sensors within the hotel facility, providing operators with on-demand, real-time status from any Internet-connected device. It functions as a data logger with unlimited storage – collecting data and pushing it to the cloud for alarming, reporting and viewing real-time status. The Sentinel PRO system supports the Modbus communications protocol and includes a second relay output – capabilities required to monitor and control complex networks.
Only one Sentinel unit is required to monitor up to 12 different environmental and equipment status conditions including temperature from -109 °F to 168 °F. Multiple devices can be managed from one account using web-based management tools. No software is required, so installation, integration and management of the system are fast and easy.
Data values can be viewed in real time via sensaphone.net or the Sensaphone iPhone/Android app. The standard Sentinel system is Ethernet based, but it is also available with a cellular option for remote locations that do not have Internet access.
