XamIoT SoundSense

Noise and comfort in your properties, under control. XamIoT SoundSense tracks noise levels in your properties in real time and alerts you as soon as a rule is triggered. With the STH sensor, also monitor temperature, humidity and pressure. Perfect for short-term rentals (Airbnb, Booking, Vrbo), residences, shared spaces, or simply keeping your home peaceful β€” without ever recording a single conversation. TWO SENSORS TO CHOOSE FROM β€’ SoundSense: real-time noise level. β€’ STH: noise level + temperature, humidity and air pressure, in a single device. Both are managed from the same app and can be mixed on one account. WHY XAMIOT? β€’ 100% focused on measurement: no camera, no listening. Only a noise level is computed. β€’ Privacy first: no sound is ever captured, stored or streamed. β€’ Actionable: custom rules, push alerts, clear history. FEATURES β€’ Real time: noise level, temperature, humidity and pressure for every sensor. β€’ Chart: all of a sensor's readings overlaid on a single graph. β€’ Alert rules: threshold, condition (above, below…), delay between alerts and a custom label. β€’ Time slots: only get alerts at night, on weekdays or during the hours you choose. β€’ Push alerts: tapping a notification opens the sensor concerned. β€’ Connection loss: be notified as soon as a sensor stops responding. β€’ Multi-sensor: several rooms or properties in one app. β€’ Calibration: fine-tune each sensor's noise level by half a point. β€’ Guided setup: sensor found over Bluetooth, WiFi checked, up and running in minutes. β€’ Built-in support: open and follow support requests without leaving the app. ON YOUR APPLE WATCH β€’ Check your sensors, their readings and the latest alerts from your wrist. β€’ Complications for every watch face shape: one to four readings of your choice (temperature, humidity, noise…), or the latest alert. β€’ Automatic updates, no need to reach for your iPhone. The Apple Watch app uses the iPhone app's sign-in. USE CASES β€’ Short-term rentals: prevent unauthorized parties and reassure neighbors. β€’ Empty homes or holiday homes: keep an eye on humidity and temperature remotely. β€’ Flatshares, families: keep nights quiet. β€’ Offices, shared rooms: maintain a comfortable environment. ORDER YOUR SENSORS All XamIoT sensors are available at xamiot.com. Track your orders and invoices at portail.xamiot.com. PRIVACY XamIoT does not record conversation audio and does not stream any sound. The sensor only sends values (noise level, temperature, humidity, pressure). Account data is used for authentication and notifications only. The noise level is a relative index (xB): XamIoT is not a certified sound level meter and must not be used for regulatory or medical measurements. REQUIRES A XamIoT SoundSense or STH sensor connected to your WiFi. Alerts require notifications to be enabled. Apple Watch optional.
