Rest (formerly NoiseAware), is a privacy-safe property monitoring platform that saves short-term rental property managers and hotel operators time and money, allowing them to optimize guest experience and minimize hassles and expenses. The company created the first noise monitoring technology that has monitored indoor and outdoor noise protecting short-term rental properties from fines, damage, and loss of rental income. Expanding beyond noise monitoring the company has partnered with hotels to enforce their no-smoking policy. Rest’s smoking detection technology enables hotels to ensure that their properties are, as promised, smoke-free. The sensor alerts hotel staff to active smoking events as they occur enabling the staff to respond, intervene, or charge the guest. The company has monitored and protected over 11M+ stays in short-term rentals and hotels.
