The Systems to Install
The topic of home automation for the disabled is central to hospitality structures. Besides being an issue that concerns the freedom and dignity of individuals, offering specific solutions for guests with reduced mobility opens new entrepreneurial possibilities.
In this article, we will highlight why automation can improve the offerings of hotels and B&Bs, and what interventions can be carried out for disabled travelers.
How Home Automation for the Disabled Improves the Hotel Stay
To best plan the installation of a home automation system in hotels and B&Bs, the general rule involves a preliminary study phase. Only by understanding the available spaces is it possible to formulate concrete hypotheses.
Every home automation device is installed for a purpose, and this is even more true in the case of automation solutions for people with mobility issues.
Proper planning can bring great benefits for guests with home automation for the disabled:
· Faster and easier entry and exit from rooms, to be done independently
· Greater control over lighting and temperature within the room
· Simplified management of televisions and other appliances
Solutions to Increase Guest Autonomy with Home Automation for Hotels
Among the home automation solutions for the differently-abled, these are the most impactful and important:
· Elevator platforms
· Light sensors
· Electric shutters
· Automatic climate control systems
· Control of multimedia devices
Elevator platforms
Elevator platforms allow easy access to areas that would otherwise be difficult to reach. This addition enables guests to move independently, even if in a wheelchair or using crutches. A solution that often has a low architectural impact but great utility.
Light sensors
Other significant innovations brought by hotel automation, such as lighting management, become even more impactful when it comes to disabilities. Installing sensors to turn on lights allows the light level in the room to be adjusted simply by passing through a certain point, such as the entrance. No buttons to press or knobs to reach.
Electric shutters
A similar concept applies to electric shutters. These allow blinds to be raised and lowered with ease, without pulling traditional cords. In this case, it is possible to opt for remote control models, which allow you to set the light level from any position within the room.
Climate control systems
Heating and air conditioning systems are among the most used and appreciated home automation systems. The reason is simple: they allow room temperatures to be adjusted very intuitively, often remotely. The most common options include activation via touchscreen, or even voice control. For managers, it is also easy to intervene in case of malfunctions.
Control of multimedia devices
The possibilities offered by televisions and other multimedia devices are also interesting. Integration with various voice assistants allows for voice control. A unique convenience, which is even greater in cases of mobility and movement difficulties.
Instead of a remote control, it is enough to pronounce the action you want to perform. In a few moments, the desired effect will be achieved.
The Costs of Home Automation Systems
One of the advantages of automation solutions designed to make hotel rooms smarter is their scalability. The price, in other words, reacts flexibly to the type of system to be implemented, the number of rooms, and the equipment involved.
This feature allows almost any structure to equip itself with devices to improve the stay of disabled guests. From guesthouses to bed and breakfasts, as well as luxury hotels and boutique hotels.
