Every room, addressable.
Modern I/O designs and installs automation systems for guest houses and hotels — lighting, network, security, and sound across every room, run from one dashboard.
Six ports. One property.
Every system we install runs on the same backbone, so lighting talks to network and security talks to energy — one dashboard for every room on the property, not six separate apps.
Lighting
Scene-based lighting across every suite and common area, tunable to mood or a guest-friendly preset.
Network
Reliable guest wifi with a fully isolated staff and back-of-house network, managed from one panel.
Security
Cameras and door sensors across every building on the property, tied into a single alert system.
Energy
Per-room usage monitoring, so an unoccupied suite isn't quietly costing you all night.
Audio
In-room and common-area sound, zoned by suite or synced across the property.
Access
Keyless entry with timed codes per booking, plus tiered permissions for staff.
From walkthrough to install.
Four stages, the same order every time, so you always know what happens next.
Consult
We walk your property, talk through goals and budget, and flag what your existing wiring can already support.
Design
You get a system architecture and equipment plan, room by room, with pricing attached.
Install
Certified technicians run the wiring, mount the hardware, and configure every system in place.
Monitor
Ongoing support, firmware updates, and a line to a technician when something needs a look.
Built to run a property, not a house.
Guest-facing automation has different failure modes than a home system. Here's how we design around that.
One integrated backbone
Lighting, network, security, energy, audio, and access run on a single system — not six consumer apps stitched together with workarounds.
Tested and documented before handover
Every install is signed off against a test sheet before we leave — wiring, terminations, and logic verified, not left for you to discover on opening night.
Designed around bookings, not just rooms
Access codes tied to reservations, staff-only permissions, and per-suite energy tracking — built for turnover, not a single household's routine.
One point of contact, start to finish
The people who design the system are the people who install and support it — no handoffs between sales, installers, and a separate call centre.
