Minut - Noise, Occupancy, Motion and Temperature Monitoring for Vacation Rentals (Airbnb, VRBO & Serviced Apartments)

I recently purchased the Point after trying to find an alarm system for my home that was affordable and effective. The Point is sleek and stylish and fits perfectly in the corner. It doesn't draw attention or create an eye sore which we have been concerned about with other systems. The app is really what has amazed me! Not only do I feel more comfortable leaving the house for extended periods of time, but the ability to monitor sound, moisture, and temperature is an added benefit that I love. The sensors are so good that it can tell the difference between my dogs walking around the house versus my children. Or even when I take a shower, the humidity level rises. It really is amazing. A few times I've forgotten to turn off the alarm when I've come home and I can control it from my phone rather than remembering a code or entering a code incorrectly.The one challenge that we have had is that our larger dog has set off the alarm once, but again, I've been able to turn the alarm off and check the app to see that it was the dog rather than a human based on the levels of sound captured.

I bought a Minut in October 2020 for my Air BnB in Arizona. It was easy to instal and it worked great until it needed charging. I was careful to keep all the original packaging and the charger cord - when I went to charge it up for the first time the charger connector tip turned black, heated up and then melted and the charging port on the unit melted as did some of the surrounding plastic on the unit. When I wrote the company to tell them what happened they replied in writing- so sorry but the warranty is only good for 30 days. I was shocked that they did not want me to mail back the unit to send it to quality control, nor did they offer to replace it... things happen and items slipped through quality control but for the $129 price I would have hoped for better from this company. Go elsewhere if you want a company that stands by their product.

I’ve had the Minut Point for about two months now and I really like it so far - it's a really helpful gadget for my day to day life and the installation was quick and easy. In addition to the Point bringing me peace of mind for it's home security features, while I was at work the other day the fire alarm went off in the house while my wife was home and I was able to phone home and make sure everything was okay after the Point app gave me the notification. I love that it monitors the temperature and humidity in the house also. Taking that a step further, it's great to see the nice and clean graph of a longer term temperature and humidity fluctuation in the Point app. All in all a great addition to the house and I'd recommend!

The device came without the charger so it’s useless for me. I cannot find a charger for it.This device appears to be defective. It does not detect noise. I contacted the seller and he told me to contact the manufacturer. I explained to manufacturer my situation and that I purchased from Amazon. This is what the manufacturer said.Unfortunately, Minut devices purchased from Amazon are not covered under our warranty, so we will only be able to provide minimal support.The devices being sold an Amazon are from an unauthorized reseller who may be selling defective devices.

I picked up the Point a few weeks ago and it's been a pretty nice way to get notified on what's been going on in my apartment and get alerts when something is happening. It took me maybe 10 minutes to be up and running, so the setup time is pretty minimal. The monitor comes with a USB charging cord, but the package mentions that you only need to do that about once every 6 months - so that's awesome.The app you get with the system is also super polished and it gives you a bunch of graphs so you can see how noise, temperatures, and other things change throughout the day. It lets you setup the notifications for whatever you're interested in knowing about and change them to be whatever you want. Another nice thing about the app is that it lets you add multiple users, so I was able to get my wife on board too.I'm quite pleased so far!

I wanted this product to work for me, but what it came down to is if you put these around your home in multiple rooms, you are looking at a small fortune! The product worked ok, but for what you spend, it’s just not worth it.

My son had autism and some times intermittent explosive disorder due to panic attacks. If you have a person under the spectrum you know what I am talking about. This devise will alert me if noises are loud over 5 min. I set mine low a low decibel; say 70dbs. If sound is above that range for more than 5 min I can help him if he is having a panic attack or other issues while I am not there. This devise will alert me by cellphone to quickly check on him through his 'other' platforms/devices i have in place > look in on him though the many cameras & speak to him to talk him down. Sometimes his is just vacuuming which is about an 80 db noise.This peace of mind is priceless to me & a saving grace to my son & his independence.I am not sure the battery is rechargeable when plugged in but as soon as my Minut alerts me of low battery I will see if I can recharge with the cord or if I have to purchase a new one? I have no owned it more than 60 day. I will purchase another if need be!I

Reset Device due to inconsistency in Detection/Notifications. Shall update review later if problem is sorted.Update:After the reset it appears to more or less work as intended. It is due to the previous frustration and some minor detection issues that I'll leave this at 4 Stars.
