The SALTO in room energy saving device (ESD) can help to save up to 65% of a hotel room or student dorms electricity consumption and unlike standard (magnetic stripe) energy savers, only authorised SALTO key cards will switch on the ESD.

Other cards such as frequent flyer, business card etc. or even other SALTO cards belonging to other rooms will not activate the ESD.
It is also available in a connected on-line version, which as well as energy saving indicates in real time the presence of guests or staff in a room, logging the information directly into the hotel PC.

When a guest enters the room and inserts their card into the ESD, it switches on all electrical equipment. When staff enters the room for cleaning or maintenance, the ESD recognises their staff card and switches on only the electrical equipment they need to do their work.
