Device detection and occupancy monitoring for Airbnb hosts

Crowd Detect is an occupancy-monitoring feature designed for short‑term rental hosts and property managers that estimates real‑time guest counts by passively sensing nearby iOS devices. Hosts set an occupancy limit per property; when the detected device count exceeds that threshold, Minut sends immediate push notifications so teams can intervene before parties or overcrowding escalate. The system emphasizes privacy: it does not record audio or video, collect or store personal data, or use cameras. Crowd Detect integrates with common property management systems (Guesty, Hostaway, Mews and others) and can be tailored per unit, providing automated alerts that fit existing workflows.

The Crowd Detect capability sits alongside a suite of sensors and features - noise monitoring with adjustable decibel thresholds, indoor climate (temperature, humidity and mold-risk alerts), smoking detection, home alarm functionality, water‑leak sensing and connectivity options like wired mounts and a cellular gateway. Minut positions this stack as a way to enforce house rules and local compliance at scale, reduce neighbor complaints and property damage, and let teams run more listings with less manual oversight. Customer accounts highlight fewer party incidents and improved community relations after deploying the system.
