We are planning to install HRC (Hotel Room Controllers) in a Hotel of 200 rooms.
The idea is to provide client with a touch interface to control lighting, DND, AC along with other hotel room requirements. Since the ordered touch panel has been greatly delayed, we want to try and connect an advanced display to an HRC controller in the meantime.
How can we connect an external tablet or touch interface to an HRC.
Can the web interface of HRC handle interactions from the occupant?
Now the client wants to see a sample room at his earliest. We need to provide an answer asap. Thanks.

Hi There,
is this fir a mock up of a single room?
To use advanced display to my knowledge you will need some graphics to interface to, so you would need at minimum an AS-P to hold these graphics and interact with the points on the HRC over BACnet IP.
To interact with web server onboard the HRC you would need to build a web page to represent the points you want to interact with.
How many and what type of GTP do you need if this is a mock up room?

I understand, we can use the Advanced Display via the Automation Server.
See attachment for the existing bedside panel.

Hi Sathiya,
Advanced Display is meant for use in plant areas and not in Guest Rooms. It is not designed for use as a Guest room tablet. It is designed as a plantroom interface and the navigation and use of Advanced display is confined to these areas.
If a tablet is required in the room it is suggested that you use a 3rd party application in such instances. This then will may require the introduction of either a RestFul Gateway SmartConnector to feed data to the application. Such instances of this are Tapendium used recently on a project in Australia.
