Minut Cigarette Smoke/Noise monitor

Anyone using the Minut noise/cigarette smoke monitor?  Thoughts?

[Christina B.]

We have been using this since late Dec. 2023 (so not as much time as others here may have). It's been great as a noise monitor (and I can also see temperature readings which are verifiable and solid). However, I'm unsure with regard to the cigarette smoke monitor. First, it took over a month to activate/set up the cigarette smoke detection. When I talked to Minut about this, they said they might update the language to reflect it can take longer to establish a baseline. (And if you think they'll update the language, I have a bridge to sell you...)

Next, it has triggered occasionally and we send out a reminder that we are a smoke-free property which usually works. However, on a few occasions, where we give the reminder and it still triggers? The guests insist no one smokes but they did grill. So, now we're unsure as to the sensitivity and accuracy (except for the context that we've grilled heavily at the property and never triggered it). Unless a guest smokes regularly or heavily, our ventilation and air filtration is such that our cleaners have not yet alerted us to undeniable smoking, etc.

Would love to hear what others use and their experiences with Minut as well (since in part, I went with Minut based on what I read here about the other alternative- NoiseAware).
