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 Settings→ Services → Smartlight → Sleep 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 tracking → Pair 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.
