Sleep Phaser v2 + v3#

Sleep Phaser v2 & v3 is our second-generation smart bedside lamp designed specifically for Sleep as Android. It tracks your sleep non-invasively using a Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor, provides sunrise alarm lighting, and automatically unlocks the full premium version of Sleep as Android!

Key Features & Enhancements#

  • Top Touch Button: Designed with a base-centered, tip-resistant body and a single, easy-to-hit touch button located on top of the lamp.
  • Contactless Tracking: Built-in PIR sensor detects body movement and breathing without requiring anything in your bed or on your body.
  • Sunrise & Smartlight Capabilities: Wakes you up naturally with a soft sunrise emulation and supports nightlight, anti-snoring, and lucid dreaming visual cues.

Light Controls & Modes#

Controlling your Sleep Phaser v2/v3 is simple—just tap the touch sensor on the top of the lamp. Each tap cycles through the main light modes:

  1. Full White (Bright reading light)
  2. Moderate Orange (Warm evening light)
  3. Dark Red (Dim, non-disruptive night light)
  4. Off

Auto Turn-Off: If sleep tracking is not active, the Phaser turns off the light automatically after 30 minutes to save power.

App Control: You can also control the lamp directly from the bottom menu in Sleep as Android during sleep tracking - pull up the menu on the tracking screen, and tap the Nightlight button. The app will turn on the Phaser in dimmed, dark red mode.

Setup Guide & Pairing#

Step 1: Physical Setup & Positioning#

  1. Plug your Sleep Phaser into a reliable power supply using a 1A or higher USB charger.
  2. Place 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 bed, the sensor can see you.
    • Ensure the lamp arm is open so it does not block the sensor.

Step 2: Connect to Sleep as Android#

  1. Turn on 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 and tap Sleep Phaser (disconnected) (or search for “Sleep Phaser”).

Step 3: Enable Features#

Once connected, toggle your preferred features in the app:

  • Smartlight: Enables sunrise alarms and general light cues (nightlight, lucid dreaming, anti-snoring).
  • Sleep tracking: Sets the Phaser’s PIR sensor as your primary sleep tracking sensor.
  • Start automatically: Prepares tracking automatically whenever you connect your phone to a charger while in Bluetooth range.

How to Start Sleep Tracking#

  • Manual Start: Open Sleep as Android and tap the Moon 🌙 button. Tracking starts immediately.
  • Automatic Start: Plug your phone into its charger near your bed. Tracking will start in a Pause / Standby mode. As soon as you switch off the Sleep Phaser light, tracking unpauses and starts monitoring.

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 both you and your partner use Sleep Phasers on opposite nightstands:

  1. Positioning: Angle each Phaser inward toward its respective sleeper so the 130° sensor arc focuses on one person and blocks out the other.
  2. Setup:
    • On both phones, go to Settings️ → Sleep tracking → Pair tracking and enable it.
    • 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.

Controlling the light directly#

You can control the light directly using the Sleep Phaser Remote Control app. In addition to lighting controls, the app allows you to adjust internal Phaser settings and install firmware updates.

Safety & Usage Guidelines#

  • Maintenance & Cleaning: Keep the device clean to ensure proper performance. When cleaning, avoid exposing the internal diodes to moisture to prevent damage to the device.

  • Environmental Care: Protect the device from fire, water, and extreme temperatures.

  • Safety & Materials: Sleep Phaser is built with non-toxic materials and has been rigorously tested to ensure complete safety while you sleep. Keep out of reach of children.

  • Power: Unplug the device when not in use for extended periods.

  • Disposal & Recycling: The packaging and non-recyclable components must be disposed of in accordance with local environmental laws. Please help us protect the environment by recycling responsibly.

❓ FAQs & Troubleshooting#

Why isn't Sleep as Android connecting to my Sleep Phaser?
  • Reason: Missing permissions, power issues, or Bluetooth interference.
  • 👉 Fix:
    1. Enable Location (GPS): Android requires Location turned on for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) scans.
    2. Power Adapter: Ensure your wall charger provides at least 1A.
    3. Reset Connection: Force-close the app, toggle Bluetooth, and power-cycle the Phaser (unplug for 5s).
    4. Test connection with the Phaser Remote Control app.
What should I do if the light button is unresponsive?
  • Reason: Device potentially in bootloader mode.
  • 👉 Fix: Unplug the power cable, wait 10 seconds, and plug it back in. For firmware updates, use the standalone Sleep Phaser Remote Control app.
