The Vision
Short-term rental operations are broken by design.
Your systems don't talk to each other. Booking calendars don't control heating. Sensors don't inform decisions. AirAutomate is the platform that connects them, starting with Alfred, which links your booking calendar to your heating. Climate control is just the beginning.
The Platform
One platform. Alfred today, more as it lands.
Alfred runs your heating now. What's next builds on the same foundation, so you can join early and grow with each capability as it ships.
Alfred
Climate control
Reads your booking calendar and runs the climate across every property: comfortable for every arrival, eased back in the gaps, automatically.

Insights from your sensors
Sensors across the property become decisions you can act on, in plain English.
On the roadmapHigh-power systems
Hot tubs, swim spas and underfloor heating. The heaviest loads in the property, run to the same calendar.
On the roadmapThe Problem We See
Every property operator knows this pattern.
Guest checks out at 10am. Cleaner arrives at 2pm. Next guest checks in at 4pm. During those six hours, the heating runs at full comfort temperature for an empty property. Multiply that across 10 properties, 30 turnovers a month, 12 months a year.
The waste is invisible because it's gradual. It shows up in monthly bills, not daily alerts. Most operators absorb it as a fixed cost. We don't think it has to be.

And that is only the turnovers. The longer empty stretches between bookings cost more again, which is where most of the saving sits. Run it for your portfolio
Our Approach
Three principles that make Alfred different.
Calendar-driven, not thermostat-driven
Traditional smart heating reacts to occupancy. Alfred reads your booking calendar and prepares each property ahead of arrival, so it's never reacting late.
Built for one property or a hundred
The logic that saves money on a single flat is the same logic that compounds across a portfolio. Start with the property you have today; add the rest whenever you're ready.
Your property is protected, always
Frost protection is never disabled. Pipes don't freeze. The system never switches everything off blindly. Safety is the floor, not a feature.
Built to Earn Its Place
No lock-in. No feature gating. Alfred pays for itself or you cancel.
We keep hardware costs low so the barrier to starting is small. Your subscription is month-to-month. If Alfred doesn't save you more than it costs, you walk away. No penalties, no contracts.
Every operator gets every feature. Tiers are based on how many zones your property needs, not artificial limitations.
