and effective solutions. By appointing Crestron, we
achieved this aim. After a few months of operation,
the results have been excellent, and feedback from our
guests has been extremely positive,” says Nicolas Bottu,
the Group’s Technical Director.
Creating a unique user experience using home
automation
In each of the hotel rooms, users are entirely
independent, as they can use their touchscreen tablet
to manage the systems in their room.
Crestron intelligence is at the heart of the control
system and allows guests to manage the different
options offered to them. Crestron technology uses
RTS and BACnet gateways to
communicate with the Somfy roller blinds and the
Daikin air conditioning system and to control the
video projector and lighting system. The Crestron
system also allows water consumption to be managed.
If the guest has chosen this option and then exceeds
the indicated water consumption threshold, an
automation system controls a solenoid valve to reduce
hot water consumption. In the event of a breakdown,
there are backup options in the form of traditional
switches and remote controls to ensure that guests can
continue to use the room as normal.

For Christophe Malsot, Country Manager at Crestron,
“the installation at Nomad was a real challenge and
perfectly illustrates how technology is evolving in the
hotel industry. The Crestron solutions were chosen for
their interoperability and for how ergonomic they are
to use by both the operating staff and the guests, who
wanted a unique experience.”
