StillCurrent: guests feel it, your numbers show it.
The room is cool when they walk in. The message arrives before they ask. Nothing about it feels like technology.
Air conditioning that stops when rooms are empty. Costs you can see before the bill arrives, not after.
Most properties run on guesswork.
Energy is tracked by the bill, once a month, long after it was spent. Comfort depends on whether a guest happens to mention it. Nobody's fault: it is simply what happens when the systems in a property don't talk to each other.
StillCurrent replaces guesswork with automation and measurement.
Sensors record what actually happens, room by room: temperature, humidity, open doors, who is in, what each unit uses. The systems act on it automatically, so nothing depends on someone remembering. And because everything is measured, every decision about your property, from a setting to a new air conditioner, is made on real data, not on last month's bill.
One stay, two perspectives.
What your guest feels What your numbers show
Arrival day
“Good news: your room is ready.”
A friendly WhatsApp, often hours before check-in. A small surprise that starts the stay on a high.
Nobody at the desk has to remember.
The message goes out automatically the moment housekeeping marks the room clean, so no one has to call the guest or keep a list.
Check-in
The room is already cool when they open the door.
No stuffy room, no fiddling with the remote after a long journey. Comfortable from the first step inside.
Cooling starts at check‑in, not all afternoon.
Empty rooms stay off until the guest has actually arrived.
Out for the day
Back from the beach to a fresh, dry room.
While guests are out, the room is kept dry whenever the air turns humid, so it never gets damp or musty. In the tropics, that is what keeps mould away.
No cooling an empty room all afternoon.
When nobody is in, the AC stops cooling. Temperature and humidity sensors decide whether the room needs drying, and the AC runs a short drying cycle only then, without anyone touching a switch.
Sunset
The balcony door stays open for the sunset.
They can enjoy the breeze. If the door stays open, the AC pauses, and a short WhatsApp tells them exactly which door or window to close to get it back.
The AC waits instead of cooling the garden.
If a door or window stays open for more than two minutes, the AC switches off. Once it is closed again, the AC switches back on by itself.
Checkout
A gentle hint instead of a knock on the door.
If a guest stays well past checkout, the AC switches off and stays off. As the room warms up, leaving becomes the easy choice, without anyone knocking.
Your staff don't have to ask twice.
Overstays end without awkward reminders, and rooms are ready for the next guest on time. Once the room is empty it stays off, and each unit tells you when it needs a service, before it fails.
The best technology is invisible. You only notice it when it stops working.
Savings never at your guests' expense.
Saving energy is easy if you're willing to make a stay less comfortable, and we aren't. Guests keep their remotes and nothing switches off while they sleep. When the system does step in, like pausing the AC for an open balcony door, it tells the guest why and how to undo it. Every rule is tested quietly first, and where comfort and savings pull in different directions, comfort wins.
Measured, not guessed.
-
Measured Mira Mirissa: an outdoor unit at 55 °C, blowing hot air into a stairwell with no way out. We visit.
A free walk through your property: rooms, air conditioning, doors and windows, your last bills, and how your team runs a day. We bring a thermal camera, so we see where the heat actually sits.
-
Calculated The sun's path over a client building in Mirissa: the south-west wall gets about 8 hours of direct sun a day in January. We show you where it goes.
A clear proposal in steps, starting with what costs nothing and what pays back fastest. Every number is marked as Estimate, Calculated or Measured.
-
Measured A reflective test patch on our own roof at The Stables: bare concrete reads 55.8 °C, the patch stays far cooler. We prove it, then grow it.
We start small, measure the real effect, and only extend what earned its place. Hardware at cost, never with a markup.
See a real proposal.
This is what we made for Mira Mirissa, a hostel with dorms, a café, coworking and two yoga studios: their bills, our measurements, where the heat comes from, and three steps with prices and expected savings. Your property gets the same, built on its own numbers.
Built first for our own hotel.
Before we bring this to your property, it runs every day at The Stables, our oceanfront hotel in Midigama. Every system we offer is one we live with ourselves.
- Rooms cool down when guests check in, and rest when they leave.
- Air conditioning pauses while a door or window stands open.
- Rooms are kept dry and the units are cared for on their own schedule.
- Guests hear from us at the right moment: room ready, holidays, power cuts, a thank-you after they leave.
- Our own weather station reads the reef, the rain and the heat, live.
Who is behind it.
I'm Stefan. I design experiences for a living, and I run a hotel.
My background is computer science and human-computer interaction. I've spent my career designing for companies that take detail seriously, across three continents. Running The Stables, I started building the systems I wished existed. Other owners who saw them working asked me to build them for their properties too.
Good service design and good systems design are the same discipline, aimed at different layers of one stay. StillCurrent is what happens when you stop treating them separately: one person, several disciplines, no hand-offs.
