Meet the E1

Minut E1 sensor from the back with its cable connected

Zero maintenance, zero downtime

E1 is hardwired - USB-C, PoE, or AC mains. No batteries to replace. No charging schedules. No offline sensors creating compliance gaps across your portfolio. Ceiling-mounted and tamperproof, E1 installs once and runs continuously so your team can get on with everything else.

Advanced smoking detection

E1’s triple particle sensors give you advanced smoking detection, with a timestamped record of every incident.

Doesn't rely on WiFi

Coverage in every unit, regardless of your building’s network setup. E1’s built-in mesh connects sensors to each other through concrete walls and across floors, with fewer gateways and no reliance on WiFi. It keeps working in the buildings where WiFi doesn’t.

One sensor covers everything

Noise, smoking, occupancy, motion, and climate - monitored continuously from a single device per room. Fewer devices to manage, fewer vendors to coordinate, one platform for your entire portfolio.

Privacy-first, always

No cameras. No audio recording. No surveillance. E1 monitors environmental conditions only, fully compliant with GDPR and SOC 2. Built for the places people call home.

Connects to the platforms you already use

E1 supports automated alerting, incident documentation, and API-driven workflows. Your team keeps working the way it already does, with better information and proof behind every decision.

One device, building-wide intelligence

E1 flags issues in every unit before they become complaints, so your team can spot them early, uphold your policies fairly and look after residents, without adding to anyone’s workload.

Privacy is the product, not a setting

No cameras or recordings

Minut Living never captures images or records audio. In student housing, sustained noise in shared spaces is measured as sound levels only, so Minut can let you know a corridor is loud without hearing a single word.

Raw data stays on the sensor

Minut splits processing between the sensor and the cloud, so raw sensor data never leaves the device. Only smoke events and climate readings reach your team, so they can act when necessary.

Purpose-built for rental buildings

Consumer smart-home hardware streams raw data to the cloud, relies on apps and accounts that residents control, and collects too much to make a privacy promise. Minut Living runs on its own network, works without resident WiFi, and is designed to collect only what you need.

Privacy settings are locked

Privacy protections are fixed at the platform level, so no operator can switch them off or loosen them. Residents get the same protections in every building, whoever manages it.

Coming soon: A resident portal

Residents will be able to see data from their own home, so they know exactly what’s being measured.

Engineered for permanent deployment

E1 is designed for buildings where maintenance access is limited, connectivity is unreliable, and sensors need to run for years without attention.

Hardwired power, zero downtime

Connect via USB-C, Power over Ethernet (PoE), or AC mains. No battery changes. No charging rotations. No offline units creating gaps in your monitoring coverage.

SMOKE ID

87% of smoking events detected, more than twice the closest competitor

SmokeID gives your team alerts they can trust. It recognizes cigarette and cannabis smoke and ignores common false triggers like cooking, candles, and hairdryers, so staff respond to genuine incidents.

In the lab

Setting the benchmark for smoking detection

We tested SmokeID side by side with competitor smoking detectors under identical lab conditions, and every result below is published with its test conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between E1 and M3?

The right choice comes down to your deployment model. M3 is battery-powered and WiFi-connected - built for flexibility. It installs in minutes without any infrastructure work, moves easily between properties, and works wherever there’s WiFi. If you manage distributed properties and need to deploy or redeploy quickly, M3 is the right fit.

E1 is hardwired and built for permanence. Mount it, plug it in, and it runs continuously without maintenance, battery upkeep, or charging cycles. If you manage a whole building with long-term residents and need sensors that never go offline, never need servicing, and work through concrete walls, E1 is the right fit.

The tradeoff is simple: M3 gives you flexibility. E1 gives you permanence. They serve different operators - E1 is not an upgrade from M3, and M3 is not a stepping stone to E1.

How does E1 connect if there’s no WiFi in units?

E1 sensors connect to each other over their own sub-GHz mesh, through concrete walls and across floors. A G1 gateway then connects the building over its own cellular connection, so nothing depends on the building’s WiFi.

What power options does E1 support?

E1 is hardwired. Connect it via USB-C, Power over Ethernet (PoE), or AC mains, so each building can use what suits it. There are no batteries to replace.

How many E1 sensors do I need per building?

One E1 per room or unit you want to monitor. A single device covers noise, smoking, occupancy, motion and climate. Our team will help you plan coverage and gateways for your building.

Does E1 integrate with my property management system?

Yes. Minut has a strong ecosystem of integrations, and E1 supports automated alerting, incident documentation, and API-driven workflows.
