Brand of thermostat in Caesars Las Vegas properties?
The last time I stayed in a Caesars property in Las Vegas, the hotel had instituted a "smart" thermostat that would shut off the room's air conditioning when no motion was detected after a few minutes. I am one of those "always warm" people who wants the air on practically all year, save for winter. I don't enjoy having it controlled for me.
Does anyone know what brand of thermostat these properties use? I was so mad I didn't think to get the maker's name. I figured I'd try to find a way to override this stupid set-up. In the Travel Buzz sub-thread in the Travel and Dining forum, there is a dedicated thread about this very topic; if I had the thermostat brand name, maybe I could find out that way.

Toss a couple of cheap wire shirt hangers (like what comes back from the cleaners/laundry) into your suitcase when you travel.
Upon arrival, twist said hanger's "hook" around about 90 degrees, hang a light tee shirt on it, and hook it into the highest/top louver in the air discharge vent in your room. Tee shirt will "wave in the breeze" & air unit will run continuously. Problem solved.

Inncom is pretty common. Here's a hack for that brand:

3Cforme and Steved5480... Thank you both very much! This is just the info I was looking for!^
I know that InnCom is common, btw. Was just hoping to get the exact brand in use at Caesars properties. But this should help, no matter the brand I hope.
If it is some off-the-wall brand, I wonder if Maintenance is allowed/would show the way to disable this unspeakable nuisance? Maybe for a few bucks?

Another trick that works well (if you can't find an override) is to use a helium-filled Mylar balloon a few feet in front of the sensor. As long as it isn't touching anything, it is silent.
(Also, if you're woken up by the sound of the a/c shutting off more than the temp, most hotels have fans available on request. Nice white noise and a breeze as necessary.)

Each Caesars property also probably uses different stuff. They were owned by lots of different companies at one point, and have a variety of ages/amenity levels. What a cheap room at Bally's has is probably a lot different from a suite at Caesar's Palace.

Mylar balloons are being banned by many cities. Helium-filled mylar balloons do very nasty things to power lines when Susie lets go of the balloon and the thing floats up into them.

When we stayed at Harrah's Las Vegas in May they have this motion sensor thermostat. I called maintenance and they overrode it and it stayed on for two day, but then it reverted to normal. (Going off all the time)
So we shredded a plastic bag and stuck in the grate over the thermostat and it flapped in the breeze and kept the A/C on.
Here is our creation....
