How automation works
1
The Hub detects sensor events
The VolticHub receives real-time status from Zigbee sensors: presence in the room, window openings, and ambient temperature.
2
The system evaluates occupancy and window status
The system applies the selected mode. In ECO, if no presence is detected for the configured time (default: 5 minutes), it turns HVAC off; in COMFORT, it maintains the setpoint even when no presence is detected. If an open window is detected, HVAC turns off according to the configured window timer.

Automations adjust HVAC and lighting
The Voltic FrostLine regulates the fan coil according to the setpoint of the active mode (ECO or COMFORT). The Voltic Switch cuts or restores power to lighting and TV subcircuits.

Data is reported to the platform
All activity is logged in app.voltic.es, where you can monitor room status, configure automations, and review energy consumption.
Zigbee network
All sensors and actuators communicate with the VolticHub using the Zigbee protocol (2.4 GHz band). The Hub uses Zigbee channel 25 by default, which can overlap with Wi-Fi channel 11. Configure the hotel’s access points to avoid channel 11 and reduce collisions and interference.The official topology is one VolticHub per floor. As a reference, each Hub can manage approximately 150 devices and should be assigned 10–15 rooms on that floor. Rooms must be on the same floor; add repeaters and, only when the coverage survey requires it, an additional Hub.
Energy savings
Hotels that operate the Voltic system correctly can achieve energy savings of up to 30% in guest rooms, thanks to presence-based automation and proper temperature configuration. This is an internal Voltic figure; see voltic.es for more information.Installation guide
