Mix-and-match device ecosystem

GridRabbit combines configurable hardware, live software control, data aggregation, and automation rules so teams can see what is happening, act instantly, and reduce wasted energy without adding operational friction.

GridRabbit Devices

Thermostats, DnD/MuR wall plates, switches, dimmers, outlets, motion/door/window/temperature/humidity sensor, water sensor, battery, meter, EV charger, and tracking devices can be configured around the needs of each property.

  • Remote control of single devices or dynamic groups
  • Room, floor, device type, network, and status grouping
  • Rules based on one device, many devices, or third-party data
  • Integrations for OPERA PMS, SCADA, DNPv3, Modbus, Serial, ZigBee, Wi-Fi, and LoRa

Software

A platform built for teams who manage real buildings all day

The GridRabbit platform visualizes room state, device status, charts, floor plans, 3D models, and network topology so engineering, energy, and operations teams can move from detection to action quickly. The same live status language carries from full-building dashboards down to each device icon.

Explain every room event in context

Pair device placement with occupancy, HVAC, lighting, sensor, and rules history so teams can see what changed, when it changed, and why it matters.

Prioritize work from a spatial view

Move from building model to floor, room, status, service request, sensor, or equipment state without losing operational context.

Catch comfort and energy drift early

Compare compressor runtime, room temperature, setpoints, power, and device trends before a comfort issue becomes a complaint or a waste pattern spreads.

Give staff room-level answers fast

Put dim levels, watts, on/off duration, thermostat mode, humidity, temperature, setpoints, occupancy, and sensor events in one live room view.

Run the property from one live model

Compare floors and rooms, find occupied or vacant spaces, inspect service requests, and decide the next action from a single operating picture.

Put the operating model in the field

Let mobile teams check building, floor, room, and device state, then adjust settings at the point of work instead of returning to a workstation.

Devices

Smart room hardware designed to be configured, monitored, and maintained remotely

GridRabbit room devices are designed for hospitality and commercial environments where speed of installation, live diagnostics, and remote configuration matter.

GridRabbit thermostat installed in a guest room

Smart thermostat

4 inch color IPS touch screen with remote lockout, setpoint and fan control, humidity and ambient-light sensing, and OTA firmware updates. Built for hotel operations with broad HVAC support, including standard 24 volt, Friedrich VRF, LG VRF, Daikin VRF, and PTACs.

Interior GridRabbit DnD and Make Up Room touch screen installed by the door Exterior GridRabbit DnD and Make Up Room touch screen installed outside the room

DnD/MuR touch screen

Configurable guest-service buttons for Do Not Disturb, Make Up Room, tray removal, towels, bell cart, and dry cleaning, plus room number display, doorbell support, and PMS integration.

GridRabbit thermostat and switches installed in a hotel room

Switches and dimmers

Real-time lighting control and current sensing across rooms, bathrooms, corridors, and shared spaces. When current patterns indicate a failed bulb, GridRabbit can trigger a remote work order for replacement.

GridRabbit controlled outlet installed beside a hotel bed

Smart outlets

Controllable outlets with real-time power monitoring for bedside loads, appliances, guest-room equipment, and shared spaces. The system can also flag likely bulb failures and set maintenance alerts for replacement.

Touch screen hardware highlights

4 inch IPS capacitive touch screen, 800 x 480 resolution, tempered glass lens, less than 3VA power consumption, ZigBee/Bluetooth or Wi-Fi options, and remote power cycle or factory reset.

Tracking ready

GridRabbit can support TraknProtect distress button and indoor location tracking without adding a separate location hardware network.

Operations

Designed to reduce install time and maintenance trips

GridRabbit devices can arrive labeled, pre-programmed, and pre-joined to the ZigBee mesh. The PoE gateway installation is intentionally simple: insert the provided USB antenna and connect the PoE Ethernet cable.

1

Install the labeled room device or PoE gateway.

2

Power it up and see it in the GridRabbit app.

3

Replace devices with QR scanning so the new unit inherits the previous name, location, and settings.

Energy and load control

Device-level control meets building-level demand strategy

GridRabbit can use smart device data, metering, battery storage, and EV charging controls to manage loads in real time while respecting building operations.

Holistic battery dispatch

Set a usage limit and let GridRabbit coordinate battery discharge with smart device actions like EV charger reduction, thermostat setbacks in vacant rooms, lighting adjustments, and distributed generation.

  • Lower peak demand with targeted device actions
  • Reduce required battery size by coordinating controllable loads
  • Extend backup runtime with priority-based rules

Built around real properties and real operating constraints

GridRabbit has been applied in hospitality environments where room comfort, maintenance visibility, EV charging, smart networking, and fast service workflows all matter at the same time.

In addition to Smart Rooms and Battery Storage, the Hyatt Regency deployment included 26 GridRabbit-controlled EV chargers with remote charge-level control and panel limit management.

FAQ

Common questions teams ask before they evaluate GridRabbit

These are the practical questions that usually come up first when operators, ownership groups, and engineering teams are deciding how a smart room or smart building platform should fit into an existing property.

What types of properties is GridRabbit built for?

GridRabbit is built around hospitality use cases, but the platform also fits commercial buildings, mixed-use properties, EV charging environments, and portfolios that need live room, device, network, and energy visibility in one system.

Can GridRabbit work with existing hotel and building systems?

Yes. GridRabbit supports integrations and workflows across PMS, SCADA, DNPv3, Modbus, serial, ZigBee, Wi-Fi, and LoRa environments so teams can connect guest-room controls, metering, and operational data without starting from scratch.

How does GridRabbit help reduce energy use?

The platform combines occupancy data, room status, thermostat and outlet control, EV charger management, and automation rules so buildings can trim waste in vacant or lightly used spaces while still protecting comfort and operations.

What does a GridRabbit deployment look like?

Devices can arrive labeled, pre-programmed, and pre-joined. Installers power them up, confirm them in the app, and later use QR-based replacement workflows so new devices inherit the previous room assignment and settings.
