1 MODEVA Product Overview
The MODEVA™ system, an elegantly
designed, easy to use lighting, drapes, and
amenities control system, provides an
unrivaled guestroom management
experience. The MODEVA system allows
guest control of multiple loads from many
locations. MODEVA (comprising a logic
board and user interface), in combination
with the Load Assembly infrastructure (see
below), consists of user interfaces, low
voltage interfaces, wired and wireless
communications, dimmers, and switches
designed to operate within INNCOM’s
Integrated Room Automation System
(IRAS). The MODEVA system brings all
guestroom control features into a sleekly
designed unit housed in either a capacitive
glass or a more traditional keypad user
interface.
The MODEVA system was designed by the engineers at INNCOM International Inc., who pioneered Energy
Management Systems in the hotel industry long before “green” was a marketing concept. INNCOM is again
blazing a trail for enhanced guestroom controls with the MODEVA and Load Assembly system.
The MODEVA system brings an unmatched level of design flexibility by utilizing a “system in a box” approach.
Mixing a variety of individual components and actuators, the MODEVA system provides endless guestroom
control features and options that interoperate seamlessly with INNCOM’s e4 Smart Digital Thermostat for an
unparalleled energy management and lighting control platform. With the fully configurable user interface and
logic board, which allows the hotelier and the INNCOM design team to create a unique look and feel while
customizing functionality, the MODEVA system can meet nearly any design requirement conceived for the hotel
guestroom.
MODEVA itself contains all of the hardware components (including logic operations, radio communications, and
user interface functionality) necessary to operate as a low voltage controls interface within a thin (8mm thick)
assembly that rests outside of the wall box cavity. This brings an incredible advantage to MODEVA by allowing it
to be decoupled safely from the line power switching and dimming performed by the system’s Load Assembly
actuators. Since the MODEVA user interface is 12VDC powered and equipped with wired S5-bus
communications and a 2.4 GHz RF radio, it can be used as a standalone, low voltage controls interface for load
center style applications. This also frees the MODEVA from the mechanical confines of gang box dimensions.
Coupled with Load Assembly WBI actuators, the MODEVA becomes a complete load controlling system in the
gang box that can perform every function conceived for guestroom controls.
2 MODEVA System Block Diagram
The MODEVAI system comprises 3 segments: the mounting frame / touch user interface, the logic board, and the
Load Assembly components (mounting brackets and actuators). The exploded diagram below illustrates the high
level functionality of each of the 3 segments.

Figure 2 MODEVA System Block Diagram
Note the modular concepts that contribute to the flexibility in the MODEVA system. For instance, the triple gang
assembly uses three touch user interfaces with the same layout and mechanical dimensions but configured in four
different ways (refer to Figure 2 above and Figure 3 below). On the back end, the system’s three actuators can be
used as dimmers or as simple load switchers and can be arranged in any configuration that the application
requires. In between lies the logic board containing all logic and communications control required for nearly any
IRAS application.
3 Touch User Interface
The MODEVA touch user interface contains the touch sensors and indicator LEDs for system input and output. The
touch user interface can be fabricated with a specific geometry and sensor layout to accommodate multiple
applications (while also easing assembly and production) by designing only one touch user interface dimension that
is used for single gang, double gang, and triple gang assemblies.
MODEVA incorporates a capacitive controller capable of detecting touch on up to 6 sensors or one single slider
per touch user interface. The sensors sense fields through any dielectric material such as glass or plastic up to
10mm thick. Each sensor can be tuned to a unique sensitivity level. INNCOM plans to provide a single touch user
interface layout at the product launch based on a single slider that can be configured in one of the four following
ways:
Basic Slider
0–255 levels of control operated by the slide of a finger across the glass in the up or down direction. This
slider array makes use of all 11 LEDs with the exception of the Red LED. This layout is optimal for slide
dimming a dimmable lighting load or as a drape control.
Five segmented slider layout
This layout segments the slider into five evenly distributed discrete sensor locations in software using a
unified hardware layout. In Figure 3 below, the five-segment layout makes use of the corresponding Blue
LEDs. In the five segment configuration, the LEDs change from array functionality to indicator
functionality. This layout is optimal where five or fewer functions (such as lighting control, amenities
such as Do Not Disturb and Make Up Room, and general purpose functionality) are required.
Six segmented slider layout
This layout segments the slider into six evenly distributed discrete sensor locations in software using a
unified hardware layout. In Figure 3, the six-sensor layout makes use of the corresponding Blue LEDs. In
the six-sensor configuration, the LEDs change from array functionality to indicator functionality. This

layout is optimal where six or fewer functions (such as lighting control, amenities such as Do Not Disturb
and Make Up Room and general purpose functionality) are required. The Red LED is reserved for Do Not
Disturb functionality.
Proximity sensor layout
Optionally, a sensor on MODEVA can operate as a proximity sensor by increasing the proximity
sensitivity. This would be ideal for an application where the MODEVA assembly is backlighting text or
LED arrays located close to the nightstand or bed (see Backlighting below). When the unit is not in use,
the backlight LEDs can be dimmed to a very low level so as not to disrupt the guest’s sleep. When a hand
is waved in front of MODEVA, the unit would detect the motion and resume the backlight of the panel to
the normal bright levels or could even activate a nightlight.
Nightlight
MODEVA inputs and LEDs can be arranged to function as a nightlight/bath light by parsing the slider
into discrete inputs through software. Bright white LEDs and suppression of backlighting combine to
produce variable levels of illumination.
Backlighting
MODEVA touch user interface and front cover housings use LEDs and a housing material designed to
diffuse the backlight to an evenly illuminated glow. This can provide a subtle backlight feature to the
user interface that can illuminate text icons and other input information.
4 MODEVA Logic Board
The MODEVA logic board contains a 32-bit, 16Mhz microprocessor for all logic operations, system coordination, S5bus circuit, 2.4Ghz RF radio circuit, IR Tx, and Rx components for close proximity detection; it interfaces towards
the touch user interface and Load Assembly actuators. This is the brains and control center for the MODEVA system
designed to support nearly any application in the guestroom environment. The logic board is available in single,
double, and triple gang geometry. All features are available in each design; only the number of Load Assembly and
touch user interface interconnects changes based on the mechanical requirements. Because the MODEVA contains
M O D E V A R e f e r e n c e M a n u a l P a g e 5 o f 16
Figure 4 Load Assembly Frame
all logic communications and interfacing capability, it can be used as a low-voltage remote control interface for load
center style applications.
4.1 RF capability
MODEVA shares the electrical design of the 0dB 2.4GHz 802.15.4 INNCOM TXR radio module by embedding the
radio components in the logic board. This sub-circuit has been specifically tuned for optimal performance for the
guestroom environment. Typically, the RF transceiver can expect to reach up to a 70ft radius in an indoor, urban
environment. MODEVA communicates on the standard INNCOM RF protocol, a proprietary encrypted protocol
that runs over the 802.15.4 platform stack. This is a shared protocol that is used by all other RF capable INNCOM
products. The protocol’s encryption method provides protection for the P5 frame being sent into the RF spectrum
and makes it very difficult to interpret the data and reuse it maliciously.
Note: RF performance can be degraded by pre existing environmental factors.
4.2 S5-bus
The logic board incorporates the most modern S5-bus circuit design, to support up to 15 S5-bus devices in a single
guestroom network segment.
4.3 IR Tx and Rx
MODEVA uses a low power IR transmitter and receiver to provide two functions: IR communications for TV and
A/V system control and proximity detection. This circuit is not to be confused with IR5 and cannot be used as a
wireless IR5 transceiver for IRAS and guestroom network purposes.
5 Load Assembly
The Load Assembly is the core of MODEVA system flexibility. The Load Assembly consists of mounting brackets
and WBI actuators that provide the mechanical platform and load bearing capability for the MODEVA system.
Each MODEVA (and each input located on the interface) can control any one of the individual actuators as part of
the Load Assembly located within the local gang box, or it can remotely control other actuators as part of the
guestroom network IRAS. This allows the designer to locate actuators with specifically designed functions
throughout the guestroom network and to have control over that actuator from any user interface in the
guestroom network. The MODEVA platform uses magnets located on the back side of the logic board that adhere
to the large flat metal surfaces of the Load Assembly brackets, allowing for screwless mounting that adds to the
aesthetic product design.
5.1 Categories of Load Assembly Load Switching
5.1.1 TRIAC Dimmer Power Supply
The TRIAC dimmer provides dimming control of
resistive light loads such as incandescent, halogen, and
TRIAC dimmable LEDs. The TRIAC dimmer can dim
100–120VAC loads up to 500W.
The TRIAC Actuator also provides a class-2, 12VDC
output used to power the MODEVA logic and touch
user interface and to provide connection and power for a
wired S5-bus IRAS network.
