Review for Evolve Guest Controls

November 06, 2013

Evolve has completely evolved the way we run our hotel. We are a small hotel that caters to very demanding clientele. We chose Evolve because it is built on the revolutionary Z-Wave networking technology that we’ve heard so much about. The hype is very accurate, and the Evolve line of products uses Z-Wave technologically beautifully. The entire experience from installation to first implementation of the technology with real clients was as smooth as could be. Our energy costs are down since it monitors efficient use, and we fully expect that our Evolve system will pay for itself in due time.


We fell in love with the Evolve AI as soon as we tried the demo. Guests seem to love being able to have so much control over their room, and it has made our lives easier as well. Previously, some of these things had to be fine-tuned by hand, which added to the daily workload. With Evolve AI, guests can fully control lights and temperature, set alarms, and select music stations. Guests can make reservations right through the display and view weather and news information.  Ordering amenities and room service without picking up the phone has been a treat that guests remark about regularly. It’s fully automated, gives an up-scale feel, and provides travelers with the information they need to have a great hotel stay. It’s an essential part of our hotel now.


The office-side software used to monitor the Evolve systems was easy to use after some initial training.  EvolveNet allows us to monitor everything with ease, and our staff at the front desk has more control than ever before. Maintenance takes less time, as the software can help identify some problems, and we can even view stats about energy consumption and conservation. We can even control and view things remotely, which provides peace of mind.


The best part, perhaps, is that Z-Wave technologies all work with each other. This means that if we choose to expand our technologies again in the future,  other Z-Wave products can easily be thrown into the mix. Z-Wave and Evolve technologies have helped us run our business better, and this is a blessing in an industry where customer demands change often and frequently become more difficult to meet. Thank you for helping us to evolve the way we serve our guests!
