SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - The in-room TV is no longer just about entertainment. Thanks to a new collaboration between Anacove and LG Electronics, the TV is now a mission-critical component of hotel operations.

At HITEC 2025, Anacove is showcasing its full suite of AI-enabled energy and operations management devices running natively on the LG Pro:Centric® hotel TV platform — potentially turning thousands of LG hotel TVs into powerful, data-driven hubs for energy savings, water leak detection, safety alerts, and real-time asset tracking. The integration is being demonstrated at LG Booth #3805 in the Indiana Convention Center.

This is a game changer for the hospitality industry. With the integration of Anacove IoT devices onto the LG Pro:Centric platform, the in-room LG hotel TV becomes more than a screen — it becomes an intelligence node that helps hoteliers to significantly improve the efficiency of their hotel operations in ways that were never possible before without adding expensive, standalone hardware. Ian Lerner, CEO of Anacove
The LG Pro:Centric platform has redefined the role of the hotel TV. It’s a platform for entertainment and for delivering integrated services that reduce operating costs, simplify installations, and increase staff effectiveness. Anacove’s IoT tools show exactly what’s possible when you bring operational intelligence directly into the guest room — without adding a single extra device. Jake Benner, Senior Director of Hospitality at LG Electronics

The LG Pro:Centric platform is designed to support a wide range of best-in-class third-party services — like Anacove — running directly on the TV interface. Once approved by LG, these services operate independently but harmoniously, unlocking new opportunities for cost savings, guest engagement, and streamlined operations.

Anacove’s integrations include:

  • Smart Thermostats that go far beyond basic climate control. These devices use advanced sensors and AI to monitor temperature, humidity, air quality, light, barometric pressure, and occupancy — including pets or sleeping guests. Connected via existing Wi-Fi and fully integrated with HVAC systems, they optimize energy use based on each room’s unique thermal behavior.
  • Toilet Leak Detectors that combine hardware sensors with AI analytics to detect and diagnose leaks early — minimizing water waste, avoiding expensive repairs, and preventing guest disruption.
  • Asset Trackers that use location tagging and AI to monitor rollaway beds, cribs, luggage carts, and housekeeping equipment. The system streamlines item retrieval and reduces loss, improving both service speed and resource management.
  • Staff Safety Devices that provide wearable emergency alert capabilities for housekeeping and maintenance personnel.

All devices are connected to Anacove’s AI-powered cloud system, which treats the hotel as a unified ecosystem— delivering automated reports and actionable insights that show clear ROI and support smarter operations.
