Abstract:  Given the disadvantage on network controlling, poor mobility as well as high consumption in conventional monitoring system of smart hotel, a remote monitoring system of smart hotel based on ARM controller and Wechat masses platform is designed. After adding Wechat masses account of the hotel, which authorized by the administrators, guests can remotely check the status of guestrooms appliances and control them through Wechat. The smart controller in the system uses ARM CortexA7 processor as the core and runs on an embedded Linux operating system. Monitoring systems intranet is constructed by ZigBee wireless communication technology, because it has the advantages of building network flexibility at low cost and low power consumption. In the meantime, Web Server is added to ARM controller connected external network so that it can achieve the function of remotely encrypted date communication by Internet. The test results show that the system possesses the merit in excellent mobility, higher scalability and security.
