Minut
← Smart Home & Property HardwarePrivacy-safe noise/occupancy monitoring sensor + software
Minut, from Sweden, is the privacy-first property sensor: one ceiling-mounted device measuring noise levels, occupancy signals, motion, temperature, and humidity without recording audio or video, the design choice that made it deployable where cameras and microphones are prohibited or simply creepy. Its workflow layer matters as much as the hardware: automated guest messages when noise crosses thresholds resolve most incidents without human involvement, and escalation paths cover the rest. Deep PMS integrations and insurer relationships have made Minut close to a category default for parties-and-complaints risk management, priced per device with a monitoring subscription.
