Systems integration
The Olsen Group helps integrate compatible room and property technologies so systems can exchange information, coordinate behavior, and provide better operational visibility.
This can include HVAC, PMS, door locks, lighting, occupancy, shades, DND / MUR, BMS, EMS, Full GRMS, monitoring platforms, and other supported systems.
The connected room
A guest room can contain a dozen connected technologies — thermostats, occupancy sensors, door and window contacts, locks, lighting, shades, DND / MUR, bedside controls, and leak detection. These technologies do not have to operate in isolation: they can connect with each other and with broader property systems.
Selected
Room conditioning and setpoints respond to occupancy and supported room-status events.
Selected
Presence and vacancy detection informs supported energy-saving and automation strategies.
Selected
Open/closed state can pause conditioning and provide visibility into room conditions.
Selected
Supported entry events can contribute to occupancy logic and operational workflows.
Selected
Lighting can follow occupancy, schedules, and supported room scenes.
Selected
Shades and in-room controls coordinate with room state and guest interaction.
Selected
Privacy and service requests can be shared with property teams and supported systems.
Selected
Water sensors provide earlier visibility into potential leaks in vulnerable areas.
Selected
In-room control points can give guests and staff simple access to supported room functions.

Property team systems
Available integrations vary by manufacturer, platform, protocol support, property infrastructure, and project configuration. The Olsen Group evaluates compatibility during system design.
In practice
When compatible systems exchange information, the property gains practical, operational benefits. Supported interactions vary by platform and project architecture.
Allow connected systems to respond to occupancy, room status, and supported property events.
Give property teams greater insight into room conditions, system status, and connected technologies.
Coordinate HVAC, lighting, occupancy, doors, and windows to help reduce unnecessary operation.
Use connected sensors such as leak detection and window contacts to identify conditions that may require attention.

Compatible property technologies
From connection to visibility
When compatible property systems share information, teams gain more context around room conditions, equipment behavior, system status, and operational exceptions. Integration is not only about making systems communicate — it can also support better visibility, faster troubleshooting, and more coordinated property operations.
Bring information from supported technologies into a more coordinated operating environment.
Enable supported alerts, conditions, and system events to surface more effectively across connected technologies.
Give engineering teams more context before entering a room or working across multiple disconnected systems.
Improve coordination between PMS, locks, HVAC, BMS, EMS / Full GRMS, lighting, and other supported property technologies.
Integration creates the connection. Monitoring helps turn connected-system data into operational visibility.
Let's build a more connected property
Whether you’re planning new construction, upgrading an existing property, or expanding your technology ecosystem, The Olsen Group can help evaluate, design, coordinate, integrate, commission, and support connected building technologies.
We help coordinate integration across ownership, operators, engineering, IT, mechanical, electrical, PMS, locks, controls manufacturers, and BMS / EMS / Full GRMS platforms — making compatible property technologies work together inside the actual property.
FAQ
Depending on the manufacturer, platform, available protocols, and project configuration, integrations may include energy management systems, guest room management systems, PMS, BMS, electronic door locks, lighting controls, occupancy sensors, door contacts, window sensors, leak detection, and other compatible building technologies.
In many cases, yes. Most occupied properties can be upgraded in phases. We review the technology already in place, identify what may be reused, and design an approach that limits disruption — subject to existing infrastructure and platform capabilities.
When supported by the selected platforms, check-in, check-out, and room-status events can inform energy management logic so rooms condition when sold and set back when they are not.
Often, depending on the platforms and protocols available. BMS integration can provide centralized visibility so room-level data and central plant or common area systems are monitored together.
Where supported by the lock platform and controls system, entry events can help confirm occupancy and contribute to room automation and engineering workflows.
When supported by the selected systems, lighting controls and HVAC can share occupancy and room status so both respond together rather than on independent schedules.
In many configurations, yes. Leak sensors can be tied into a connected platform so water events generate notifications and appear on dashboards, depending on the sensors and platform selected.
Commonly, yes. Where supported, window and balcony door contacts can pause conditioning while open and resume normal operation once closed.
The Olsen Group does. We coordinate directly with each manufacturer, integrator, and trade during design and commissioning so responsibilities and timelines stay clear.
Yes. Support continues after commissioning, and properties can add Dynamic Management for continuous monitoring, analysis, reporting, and optimization.
