Your heating bill doesn't care if no one's checked in.
So we made it follow your bookings: comfortable for every arrival, eased back in every gap. Nothing to set, no guest to chase.
Over the last 7 days
Every guest arrived to a comfortable property, and the eco temperature held for the 39 hours it was empty.
Heating hours saved
Ready before check-in
Built by operators
Meet Alfred.
We run short-term lets ourselves, so we know what it costs to heat a property no one's in. So we built Alfred: our first climate controller, a thermostat that follows your bookings instead of a schedule. It has run our own properties ever since, quietly saving us time, energy and money.
Works with your calendar
Read-only syncAlfred eases off at checkout and starts the run-up before check-in, so the heat lands while the place is still empty.

Problem & Solution
Three ways heating quietly costs you. Alfred closes all three.
Your booking system knows when guests arrive. Your heating doesn't. Every one of these problems comes back to that one disconnect, and Alfred is what reconnects them.
01
Your heating runs the same, booked or empty.
Most properties waste money heating rooms long before guests arrive, and long after they leave.
The answer
Alfred backs off in the gaps.
You stop paying to heat an empty property.
02
Heating shouldn't be your guests' job.
Guests are there to enjoy the stay, not to learn your heating or switch it off on the way out.
The answer
Guests use it however they like, and never know Alfred's there.
To them, it's just a thermostat they can turn up or down.
03
Manual heating wastes time and money.
Demand shifts with occupancy, the weather and each booking's rhythm. Setting it by hand can't keep up.
The answer
Alfred keeps up with changing conditions, so you don't have to.
You don't have to set, schedule, or touch it.
The limits
What Alfred doesn't do.
Alfred sits in someone else's home while they are on holiday. That earns a straight answer about what it cannot see, hear or touch.
No cameras.
Presence is a motion sensor. It knows a room is being used, not who is in it or what they are doing.
No microphones.
Alfred does not listen. There is no audio in the device at all, so it cannot monitor noise or conversation.
No guest details.
Alfred reads when a stay starts and ends, and a booking reference. Names, contact details and payment data never reach it.
No writing to your calendar.
The connection is read-only. Alfred can never move, cancel or create a booking, however it is configured.
Run it solo, or with a team
Bring in your team, without giving up control.
Owners keep control, always. Bring in a manager to run things on your behalf, add an operator for the day-to-day, or send your co-host a one-time link with no account at all. We've been on both sides, owner and manager, so the messy reality of who controls what is the thing we built for first, not an afterthought.
Give someone a login
Invite a co-manager or a regular operator by email. A Manager runs everything on the owner's behalf; an Operator handles the day-to-day without touching billing. Access is per property, and you can change it any time.
How access works
Who can do what
- You keep control
- Whoever pays for a property keeps full control and can change access at any time. That can't be taken away.
- Manager
- Full control: settings, billing, and inviting others.
- Operator
- Day-to-day running: live status, alerts, overrides. No billing.
- Invites
- Invite by email. If they don't have an account yet, their access starts the moment they sign up.
Or just send a link
Send your co-host or letting agent a one-time link to connect a calendar, and nothing more. No account, no dashboard access. It works once, then expires. Connect-and-gone.
Delegated
Delegated connection
Hand calendar connection to your co-host or letting agent, without giving them dashboard access. The link works once and then expires.
