Minut launches occupancy detection for short-term rentals
What happened
On October 7, the Hacker News front page reported that Minut launched Crowd Detect, which estimates the real-time number of people inside a short-term rental from passive signals of nearby iOS devices. When the estimate goes above a limit set by the host, the feature sends an alert to prevent parties and overcrowding. Crowd Detect joins Minut's noise monitoring, smoking detection, indoor climate monitoring and home security features in a multi-layer monitoring setup. The new part is device-signal-based occupancy estimation and over-limit alerts.
