Partysquasher

Continuous Guest Monitoring

Party Squasher provides continuous monitoring of the number of guests at a property, significantly enhancing user engagement by allowing rental managers to keep track of occupancy in real-time. By connecting the sensor to the home’s Internet router, the tool counts the number of mobile phones in and around the property. This real-time data availability enables managers to address potential party situations before they escalate, ensuring the property remains secure and neighbor relations intact.

Instant Alerts and Customizable Thresholds

A key feature that sets Party Squasher apart is its instant alert system. Users can set a specific occupancy limit, and when this threshold is exceeded, they receive a text message or email alert. This functionality provides rental managers with the critical ability to intervene promptly, either by contacting the guest or taking necessary actions to prevent property damage or neighborhood disturbances. The customization of occupancy limits offers flexibility to accommodate different rental scenarios and minimizes the need for constant manual monitoring.

Privacy-Friendly and Comprehensive Coverage

Party Squasher stands out due to its ability to monitor an entire house, including front and back yards, without compromising privacy. Unlike noise monitors that alert only when a party is in full swing, Party Squasher's preemptive approach not only prevents noise but also respects guest privacy by simply counting mobile phone signals rather than eavesdropping on conversations. Additionally, the sensor is compact, requires no batteries, connects directly to the router, and can be discreetly hidden, making it a convenient and unobtrusive solution for rental managers seeking to protect their property.

Cons

Moreover, some users may prefer a more holistic approach, combining noise and occupancy monitoring, which this product does not offer.
