Sleep Phaser v1#
Sleep Phaser 1 is a smart bedside lamp designed to maximize your Sleep as Android experience. It tracks your sleep non-invasively using a PIR (Passive Infrared) motion sensor.
What Sleep Phaser Can Do#
- Contactless Motion & Breath Tracking: Built-in PIR sensor detects body movement and breathing without requiring anything in your bed or on your wrist.
- Sunrise & Smart Light: Gently wakes you up with a warm sunrise emulation and supports nightlight/pee-light, anti-snoring, and lucid dreaming visual cues.
Controls & Light Modes#
Sleep Phaser v1 features two touch buttons:
-
Upper Touch Button (Main Light): Controls the primary bedside lamp. Tap to cycle through brightness modes:
- Full White: Bright reading light
- Warm Orange: Relaxing evening light
- Dim Red: Nighttime reading / non-disruptive light
- Off
If sleep tracking is not active, the main light turns off automatically after 30 minutes to save power.
-
Lower Touch Button (Base Light): Toggles a subtle, low-intensity indicator light on the base—perfect for finding the lamp in a dark room.
Setup Guide & Pairing#
Step 1: Physical Setup#
- Plug your Sleep Phaser into a reliable power supply (using a 1A or higher USB adapter).
- Position the Phaser on your nightstand so the PIR sensor points toward your shoulders/chest area.
- Rule of thumb: If you can see the sensor lens from your lying position, the sensor can see you!
Step 2: Connect to Sleep as Android#
- Enable Bluetooth and Location (GPS) on your phone. (Android requires Location permissions to scan for Bluetooth Low Energy devices).
- Open Sleep as Android.
- Go to
Settings→Services→Smartlight→Sleep Phaser. - Tap Sleep Phaser (disconnected) to scan and connect to your nearest Phaser lamp.
Step 3: Enable Desired Features#
Once paired, toggle the features you wish to use:
- Smartlight: Uses the lamp for sunrise alarms, nightlight, and light cues.
- Sleep tracking: Uses the Phaser’s PIR sensor as your primary sleep tracking sensor.
- Start automatically: Prepares tracking automatically whenever you plug your phone into a charger while in Bluetooth range.
How to Start Sleep Tracking#
Option A: Manual Start#
- Open Sleep as Android on your phone and tap the Moon 🌙 button to begin tracking instantly.
Option B: Automatic Start (Recommended)#
- Enable Start automatically in the Sleep Phaser settings.
- Plug your phone into its charger near your nightstand.
- Sleep tracking will launch in a Standby / Paused state.
- Turn off the Sleep Phaser light when you are ready to sleep—the app will automatically unpause and start tracking!
On Android 8 and later, you need to have Watch / Phaser Starter for Sleep as Android installed for automatic tracking to work.
Tracking Two People in One Bed (Pair Tracking)#
If you and your partner both use Sleep Phasers on opposite nightstands:
- Positioning: Angle each Phaser slightly inward toward its respective sleeper so the 130° sensor arc focuses on one person and minimizes cross-interference.
- Setup:
- On both phones, go to
Settings️ →Sleep tracking→Pair trackingand turn it on. - Tap Find partner simultaneously on both phones.
- How it works: Pair tracking cross-checks data from both Phasers in real time to filter out partner movement from your sleep graph.
- On both phones, go to
❓ FAQs & Troubleshooting#
Why won't Sleep as Android connect to my Sleep Phaser?
- Reason: Missing permissions, insufficient power, or connection glithces.
- 👉 Fix:
- Check Location Services: Ensure Location is turned on (required for BLE scans).
- Check Charger Power: Ensure at least 1A / 5V power supply.
- Restart Connection: Force-close the app, toggle Bluetooth, and power-cycle the Phaser (unplug for 5s).
- Test connection with the native Phaser Remote Control app.
What if the top button doesn't work and the Phaser won't connect?
- Reason: Device potentially in bootloader mode.
- 👉 Fix: Unplug the power cable, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in. If the issue persists, perform a firmware reupload via the Sleep Phaser Remote Control app.
