Smartlight#

Enhance your sleep environment and wake-up experience by integrating your smart lighting.

Sleep as Android can control compatible bulbs and devices to simulate a natural sunrise, provide a gentle nightlight, or offer visual cues for advanced features.

Menu Path: Settings → Services → Smartlight

Supported Devices#

Philips Hue & IKEA Trådfri#

Connect your smart bulbs to enable room-wide light effects.

• Setup: Tap Philips HUE, IKEA Trådfri (Disconnected) to scan and link your bulbs.
• Test: Flash your bulbs to verify the connection.
• Note: The newer IKEA Dirigera hub is currently not supported.

Sleep Phaser#

The Sleep Phaser is our custom bedside lamp designed specifically for this app.

• Smartlight: Use the Phaser for sunrise alarms and nightlight cues.
• Sleep Tracking: Use the Phaser’s PIR sensor for contactless movement tracking.
• Automation: Enable Start automatically to prepare tracking as soon as you charge your phone near the lamp.

On Android 8+, the Watch / Phaser Starter app is required for automatic start.

Sleep Mask#

Enable Use Sleep Mask to use your Sleep Mask as a personal smartlight for sunrise and lucid dreaming cues.

Light Features#

• Maximum Intensity: Sets a brightness cap (e.g., 80%) to prevent the sunrise alarm from being too startling.
• Nightlight (Pee-light): Automatically turns on a dim red light when you pause tracking, helping you navigate the room without disrupting your sleep state.
• Lucid Dreaming: Flashes the light when REM sleep is detected to provide a subtle visual cue inside your dream.
• Anti-snoring: Flashes the light when snoring is detected to encourage a change in sleeping position.
• Keep Light Up After: Choose if the light should stay on after you snooze or dismiss your alarm.
• Sunrise (Phone Screen): Uses your phone’s display as a dedicated smartlight source.

Guide: Setting Up a Sunrise Alarm #

A true sunrise alarm starts brightening the room before the audio alarm begins.

1. Enable your preferred light source in the Smartlight settings.
2. Go to Settings → Alarms → Gentle wakeup → Delayed alarm sound start.
3. Set a delay (e.g., 10 minutes).

How it Works:#

Example 1: Sunrise with Delayed Sound

• Sound Delay: 3 minutes.
• Behavior: At alarm time, the light turns on at minimum brightness and reaches 100% over 3 minutes. The audio only starts after these 3 minutes.

Example 2: Sunrise with Gentle Volume (No Delay)

• Gentle Volume Duration: 24 minutes.
• Behavior: The light and the (initially silent) audio start together. The light will take the full 24 minutes to reach maximum brightness.

Flashlight Wake-up: While the app can flash your phone’s camera LED, this feature may be unreliable on some device models due to system-level camera restrictions.
