Welcome Guests; Prevent Parties Party Squasher, the first occupancy people-counter for homes, is a simple solution designed for smart rental owners who care about their properties and want to be alerted to unexpected party disasters. Party Squasher counts the number of people at your house by counting the mobile phones in/around a house.

It simply hooks up to your router and counts mobile devices, even if they aren’t connected to your Wi-Fi network. Our solution is PRIVACY-FRIENDLY with no intrusive microphones or cameras. Party Squasher doesn’t collect or store personal data or track phone numbers, it’s GDPR-compliant. In case of a party, our sensor will detect a spike in the number of nearby mobile phones. Then, our cloud service will immediately send you a text message or email, so you can decide what to do next. Yes, it is that simple. Party Squasher is easy to use: - Download the mobile app - Scan the QR code on the device to link it to your phone - Choose small, medium, or large house - Set the alert threshold (# of mobile devices detected) - Choose to receive either SMS or email alerts.
