charged $500 for vaping
Yeah I think this is where Rest’s scam will come undone. While you could, in theory, claim you didn’t know your sensors could make faulty detection from hairdryer use, claiming to accurately be able to detect vaping will not survive a technical inquiry.

Several things can trigger a false alarm, including aerosols from cleaning products, emissions from cooking stoves in kitchens, and vibrations.
Spray-on deo, hair spray, baby powder, perfume etc are all likely to create false positives yet the hotels just charge instantly from a single detection event.
