TLJ EcoBolt
The Bluetooth Solution
Reduce energy consumption, minimise waste and boost your building’s green credentials with the EcoBolt.
A common feature within the hotel and leisure industry, Energy Saving Switches have been featured within our product range for some time. However, it became apparent that even better energy savings could be realised if there was a definitive way of detecting if an occupant was in the room and only supplying power if that was the case.
TLJ have now developed the EcoBolt which utilises Bluetooth technology and uses the action of the deadbolt in the lock to confirm that an occupant is in the room. The deadbolt can only be supplied from within the room, ensuring that electricity is only supplied when the room is occupied.
TLJ Energy Saving Switches are safe and secure, they cannot be bypassed and are installed in a standard 35mm single gang back box (note installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician).
Product features
Fully customisable
The EcoBolt can be configured to your specific requirements, for example in cluster environments a delay timer can be set to continue to supply electric for a set time after the deadbolt is retracted, this allows for visits to the cluster kitchen for example. A 2nd slave relay is also included to allow for items left on standby mode e.g. air conditioning which is set to specific temperature.

Real savings
From an initial pilot scheme in a PBSA development made up of only studio rooms, the operator was making an average per annum saving of £188 per room. It is envisaged that further savings would be made in PBSA settings featuring shared kitchens.
How it works
Primary Features
The Eco-Bolt is a smart energy-saving solution built directly into the door’s deadbolt, designed for modern PBSA and hotel environments where mobile keys are replacing traditional key cards.
When a resident enters their room and turns the bolt, power is activated throughout the space. Unlocking the bolt triggers an adjustable shutdown timer (1–45 minutes), ensuring energy isn’t wasted when the room is empty. If the resident re-enters and forgets to relock, Eco-Bolt provides a warning beep one minute before shutdown, giving them the chance to restore power without interruption.
How it works
