1. A system for hospitality property management, the system comprising:
a plurality of thermostats located in a respective plurality of rooms at a hospitality establishment having the plurality of rooms;
an unoccupied room profile providing environmental conditions in each of the plurality of rooms when unoccupied, the environmental conditions including lighting;
an occupied room profile providing the environmental conditions in each of the plurality of rooms when occupied; and
each of the plurality of thermostats including:
a housing securing thermostat circuitry, a processor, memory, storage, and a transceiver therein,
a busing architecture communicatively interconnecting the thermostat circuitry, the processor, the memory, the storage, and the transceiver,
the thermostat circuitry configured to monitor and control heating and cooling in a respective room of the plurality of rooms,
the storage storing the unoccupied room profile and the occupied room profile,
the transceiver configured to be joined in network communication with an environmental amenity, the environmental amenity being co-located within the room of the respective thermostat, the environmental amenity controlling the lighting, and
the memory accessible to the processor, the memory including processor-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
send environmental control information consistent with the unoccupied room profile via the transceiver to the environmental amenity when the room is unoccupied,
upon receipt of a guest preference profile, send the environmental control information consistent with the occupied room profile via the transceiver to the environmental amenity when the room is occupied, the guest preference profile providing the environmental conditions in the room when occupied by a guest corresponding to the guest preference profile, and
upon receipt of the guest preference profile, send the environmental control information consistent with the guest preference profile via the transceiver to the environmental amenity when the room is unoccupied.
