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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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#

  1. Plug your Sleep Phaser into a reliable power supply (using a 1A or higher USB adapter).
  2. 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#

  1. Enable Bluetooth and Location (GPS) on your phone. (Android requires Location permissions to scan for Bluetooth Low Energy devices).
  2. Open Sleep as Android.
  3. Go to SettingsServicesSmartlightSleep Phaser.
  4. 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.
  1. Enable Start automatically in the Sleep Phaser settings.
  2. Plug your phone into its charger near your nightstand.
  3. Sleep tracking will launch in a Standby / Paused state.
  4. 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:

  1. Positioning: Angle each Phaser slightly inward toward its respective sleeper so the 130° sensor arc focuses on one person and minimizes cross-interference.
  2. Setup:
    • On both phones, go to Settings️ → Sleep trackingPair tracking and 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.

❓ FAQs & Troubleshooting#

Why won't Sleep as Android connect to my Sleep Phaser?
  • Reason: Missing permissions, insufficient power, or connection glithces.
  • 👉 Fix:
    1. Check Location Services: Ensure Location is turned on (required for BLE scans).
    2. Check Charger Power: Ensure at least 1A / 5V power supply.
    3. Restart Connection: Force-close the app, toggle Bluetooth, and power-cycle the Phaser (unplug for 5s).
    4. 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.
