Guest-arrival confirmation
After a code is used, presence information can support a clearer view that the stay has actually begun.
Sense Guardian inside Stay Guardian
The layer that gives Stay Guardian its real advantage.
Sense Guardian is the occupancy and presence-awareness layer inside Stay Guardian. It helps the system understand whether a property appears occupied or vacant, adding operational context that a normal smart lock cannot provide.
Why it matters
Without Sense Guardian, you only know a code was used.
For short-term accommodation, the important question is not just “did someone open the lock box?” It is “has the guest arrived, is the property still occupied, and when is it truly ready for the cleaner?”
✓Presence awareness helps show whether someone appears to be in the property.
✓Vacant confirmation helps identify when the apartment seems empty after checkout.
✓Unexpected occupancy helps highlight activity between bookings.
✓Privacy-first operation avoids indoor cameras and audio recording.

The practical outcomes
What Sense Guardian enables for Stay Guardian
These are the operational outcomes that differentiate the package.
⌛
Possible overstay awareness
If the booking has ended but the property still appears occupied, the portal can draw attention to it.
🏠
Unexpected occupancy
See when someone appears to be inside despite there being no active booking or cleaner visit.
🧹
Cleaner release
Once vacancy is confirmed, the cleaner can be notified or granted access at the right time.
🗂
Better audit trail
Build a more meaningful timeline than access alone: arrival, occupied, vacant, cleaner in and cleaner out.
🔒
Guest privacy preserved
The operator sees useful property status information, not an invasive indoor surveillance feed.
Central installation
One EM8 Hub in a sensible central location.
The hub would usually sit in the living room, hallway or another central position so the installation remains clean, repeatable and easy to roll out across multiple properties.
- No need to fill the apartment with hotspots or visible devices.
- Suitable for serviced apartments, holiday lets and Airbnb units.
- Designed to support a cleaner installer workflow.
“The value is not just knowing who could get in — it’s knowing whether the property is actually in use, empty or ready for the next step.”
