In front of the hotel room, there is an intelligent hotel panel with a scanner for RFID cards which is used for opening the entrance doors. The panel has 3 indicators with the hotel signalization (DND – do not disturb, pick up the laundry and clean the room) which glow when a guest presses one of these on the panel is located inside the room. Apart from these basic functions, on the panel there is also the room number with the backlight.
