Products
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Install the labeled room device or PoE gateway.
Power it up and see it in the GridRabbit app.
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
Real-time EV charger control
GridRabbit can control charging stations across multiple charge levels so properties can install more chargers than panel limits would otherwise allow while preventing overloads.
- ZigBee and serial remote control options
- Peak demand and time-of-use optimization
- Panel-limit enforcement in real time
Main and sub-meter visibility
GridRabbit integrates with facility meters and sub-meters using options including DNPv3, Modbus, current transformers, and on-site gateways for buffering and LTE connectivity.
- Main meter and sub-panel current transformer readings
- Utility meter integrations where available
- Local data buffering through optional GridRabbit gateways
Managed network foundation
GridRabbit can provide PoE switches, 4G LTE failover routers, PoE access points, and PoE ZigBee/Matter coordinators that are remotely monitored and visualized.
- Industrial LTE failover routers
- PoE switches with SFP ports
- PoE ZigBee/Matter coordinators
Deployment proof
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.
26 GridRabbit-controlled EV chargers were installed at a Hyatt Regency parking garage, 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.
