The system detects if a room is occupied or not. When unoccupied, it takes control of heating and cooling, it can turn it off or set it to a predetermined temperature nominated by the property.

Room is Occupied
1. Guest Enters the room and the door

2. Movement Detector (disguised as a 
smoke a detector), detects movement.
3. System is in "occupied" mode so guest has full control of heating and cooling.

Motion Detector

Later on, say your guest goes out for dinner......
1. Guest Leaves the room and the door
micro switch 'knows' someone may have left the room.
2. Motion detector 'looks' for movement for next 30 minutes (duration set by property). If movement is detected, system remains in "occupied" mode. If no movement is detected....
3. System is in "unoccupied" mode and shuts down or 
resets heating/cooling to a temperature pre-set by the property.
How Does it detect if a room is occupied?
Two factors help to determine if a room is occupied
- The door micro switch detects when the door is opened
- Motion detector disguised as a Smoke detector, picks up on movement
Once the door micro switch knows that someone is in the room, the system goes into "occupied mode" and lets the guest control heating and cooling, even if they go to sleep. That's because, the system will only go into "unoccupied" mode once the door is open again AND no motion is detected.
Once the system determines that the room is unoccupied i.e. the door has been opened AND there is no motion in the room, the system goes into "unoccupied" mode and takes control of heating and cooling.
So, your guests will sleep easy and you will too, as when your guests are out and about and not in their rooms, you are saving money.
