Challenge
In 2024, the Hotel Ladurner opened its doors after a renovation phase. A completely new wellness area, consisting of saunas, relaxation room, fitness room and indoor pool, now awaits guests. And the best part: everything is intelligently automated with the Miniserver.The challenge was to ensure the best lighting moods 24 hours a day, taking all the work away from the employees and also ensuring maximum safety in the sauna.
Solution
Buttons were no longer needed. This was the only way to ensure that no one accidentally switches the light on or off and thereby spoils the feel-good atmosphere. Different lighting scenes illuminate the rooms differently depending on their use: a very bright light for the cleaning staff, minimal basic lighting for times when the area is closed to guests and, of course, a relaxing, not too bright and partly colored light during opening hours. Thanks to a smooth light change, you hardly notice the switch from one scene to another.Particular emphasis was placed on safety during sauna operation. According to the standard, a visual inspection must be carried out before the sauna is switched on to ensure that nothing is on the stove and that the doors are closed. After a positive visual inspection, access is granted via the NFC Code Touch by simply attaching the NFC tag. Each authorized employee has their own NFC tag, so it can be traced who gave the approval. The NFC Code Touch provides interesting feedback through the built-in LEDs:
🔵🔵🔵🔵 = Sauna waiting for approval
🟢🟢🟢🟢 = Sauna approval granted
🔴🔴🔴🔴 = Sauna in operation
In addition, the emergency stop button in the sauna has been linked to an alarm notification on the cell phone and an internal siren.
The ice fountain in the sauna is also controlled, which automatically starts working shortly before the sauna starts.
In my opinion, this is a very special project because it was implemented with very few Loxone components but offers many functions in the areas of comfort and security.
