There are a few settings that you may want to pay particular attention to when rolling out Minut across your property portfolio. Here, we have summarised the most important ones to pay attention to.

Noise monitoring is essential for anyone who cares about their guests and neighbors. With Minut's noise monitoring mode, you get notified if guests have been too loud for a longer time. Minut provides all the tools necessary to adjust settings appropriate for your property.

The Minut sensor measures sound levels without recording or listening. They don’t collect, store, or share any personal data. So you and your guests can relax in total privacy. See Minut's privacy policy for details.

The noise graph is available for each sensor under sensor details in the apps. You can see the noise levels for a specific date and time. The black line shows the average noise level, while the grey area shows the maximum and minimum values.

Once Noise monitoring is turned on, you can monitor all noise events in your home. From the home screen, you get information about the noise level in the last hour and what noise threshold you have set up.

If the noise exceeds the threshold set, you and your team members will receive a push notification to your phone. You can read more about Noise monitoring and the event flow here.

If you are unsure of what thresholds to use to properly monitor your property, here are some good starting references.

We recommend starting with a threshold of 75 dB.

To get a feeling for how loud 75 dB is, try playing music at the property for around 15 minutes. This gives you insight into what is too loud for your property, allows you to see what the event flow looks like, and how this transfers into the noise graph.

You also have the option to have a lower threshold during nighttime. You choose the timeframe and the threshold level you want.

We recommend a threshold of 75 dB during the day and 70 dB during the night when using quiet hours.

If a sensor is removed from the magnetic plate, you will receive a notification about the event. This will give you peace of mind, knowing that if the equipment is tampered with, you will know immediately.

Many properties have an occupancy limit that is hard to keep an eye on without being at the property. With the Crowd detect feature, you can easily monitor the occupancy levels in your properties.

Crowd detect works by counting the number of wireless devices a Minut sensor detects in a home and alerts the host if it exceeds the threshold set for the home - which may indicate that a crowd has been detected.

The sensor will check for iOS devices only using Bluetooth, and you can toggle the feature from the web and mobile app.

You and your team members of the home will get a push notification once the threshold has been exceeded.

The integration between Minut and your PMS will allow you to sync your Minut properties with your PMS guest data. If loud noise is detected at a property, the guest will automatically receive a message, letting them know to keep it down.

All integrations can be linked via our web app.

You can find information on how to connect to your particular PMS here.

Once you have your PMS integrated, guest data is automatically added for the home they're staying in.

With this information, our Guest Connect feature will let you send automated messages to the guests if they're being loud. This can be configured for each warning level and you can choose to either send a text message or make an Autocall.

Configure warning messages under Settings -> Noise monitoring.

You can choose what message you wish to send and when. For example, you can send an automated text message after the first noise warning and then make an Autocall for the second warning.

With Minut you can monitor more than just noise and occupancy. You can also set thresholds and monitor different environmental metrics like:

These can either be monitored via graphs or set to send you and your team a notification when levels are exceeded. These settings are set for each sensor under Sensor Settings.

If you manage many properties, configuring each sensor individually takes time. To save you time, we've also made it easy to update the settings on multiple sensors in one go. Using the web app, you can apply settings to all your sensors or a subset of them.
