Airbnb, Vrbo & short-term rentals

Protect every stay. No cameras inside.

Smoke, vape and noise monitoring for Airbnb, Vrbo and other short-term rentals. Know about smoking, parties and leaks while guests are still there, without recording audio or putting a camera indoors.

The challenge

What short-term rental hosts are up against

Smoking and vaping by guests

One smoker can mean a deep clean, blocked nights on your calendar and a damage claim that comes down to your word against the guest’s.

Parties and noise complaints

Neighbors, HOAs and cities hear about a party before you do, and repeat complaints can cost you permits and reviews.

No indoor cameras allowed

Airbnb’s rules don’t allow indoor security cameras, so hosts need a privacy-safe way to know what’s happening inside.

How OMNI helps

One platform, built for short-term rental hosts.

Sentinel

Smoke & vape alerts

Get a text or app alert when smoke- or vape-related conditions show up, with a timestamped history you can bring to a damage claim.

Sentinel

Noise-level monitoring

Sound-level trends and alerts flag a likely party early, so you can message the guest before neighbors call. No audio is recorded.

Sentinel

Leaks, humidity & temperature

Catch humidity spikes, a heater left off or AC running with the doors open, even while the rental sits empty between bookings.

Sentinel Plus

Occupancy trends

Air and occupancy readings show when a space is far busier than the booking says. We configure it to fit your booking platform’s device rules.

Sentinel

Wireless install

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth LE. No cables to run, so one unit can go up between check-out and check-in.

Sentinel

Every listing in one view

All your properties on one dashboard, with alerts routed to you, a co-host or your cleaning and maintenance team.

Follow your booking platform’s device rules. Airbnb, for example, requires hosts to disclose noise decibel monitors in the listing and doesn’t allow them in bedrooms, bathrooms or sleeping areas. Sensor readings show conditions in a space. They don’t identify a person or prove a house-rule violation by themselves. Airbnb and Vrbo are trademarks of their owners. OMNI Sensors isn’t affiliated with or endorsed by them.

Who it’s for

For hosts, co-hosts and rental managers.

Built to fit the platform rules

No cameras and no audio recording. Sound is measured as a level, not recorded as a conversation.

Evidence for claims

Every smoke, vape and noise event is time-stamped, so you have a record to share when you file a damage claim.
