• Adjusting Temperature: Users can set heating or cooling preferences for their rooms or RV.

  

• Managing Entertainment Systems: Users can operate the TV or radio through the interface.

  

2. Pool Management

Users can monitor and manage the pools.

• Adjusting Water Levels: Users can fill or drain the pools through the management console.

  

• Controlling Water Temperature: Users can set the desired temperature for the pools.

  

• Activating Safety Sensors: Users can activate or deactivate sensors and set alarms for safety.

  

3. Trojan Horse RV Management

Users can navigate and control the Trojan Horse RV.

• Navigating the RV: Users can move the RV in various directions and park it within designated areas.

  

• Controlling RV Doors and Ladder: Users can open or close doors and manage the ladder functionality.

  

4. Customer-Service Interaction

Users can interact with staff to place and manage orders.

• Placing Orders: Customers can order food and beverages from the thematic restaurant.
