How much does the efficacy of this device dip when you share a king sized bed with your significant other and two 25-ish pound dogs?

The pad is dual-zone (you and your SO will be tracked separately) and the sensors are designed to pick up human data. A dog, if sleeping in a very specific position, might throw off one night of data but most of our analysis are based on historical data and one night alone is not going to impact them in any significant way.

But yeah, kick the dogs off :)

This looks really cool. I wonder though if my bed would not then be dependent on your servers at some point as I consider such a product as a long-term investment. For example, can it live without the server-side aggregation? Would you consider opensourcing parts of the server to enable people to use their own servers in the long run? Would you consider adding a respectable API that follows the ideas of for example, the philips hue? http://www.developers.meethue.com/philips-hue-api

It does, but no raw data are sent, most of the aggregation happens on the device. We upload sleep patterns, average values for some sensors (temp/humidity, ambient light) and major events (loud sound or quick change in ambient light). We use those data for historical data analysis on the server side. The cloud service relays commands to the cover when your phone is not connected to your wifi too (you can warm up your…

That's kind of the opposite of private, no?

"What does a mattress need HTTPS for when it is private? Something does not add up there for me."

I hate this trend. I do not want 80 networked computers generating traffic and providing attack surface and privacy leaks out of my house.

I don't want a networked TV screen, I don't want a networked refrigerator, and I certainly don't want a networked mattress.

FWIW, I am interested in some intelligence in a sleep device, possibly a mattress - just like I am interested in some intelligence in a thermostate. I will not be buying this product for the same reason I am not buying a Nest device.

This says it integrates with smart home stuff from the given companies, but how does it actually do that? What sort of features are actually available?

Also, the partner logos should really be links. I have no idea what Beep or Emberlight even are.

We have a queen mattress with a pillowtop - so its taller than a standard queen. Would this work with the queen size Luna product?

It likely wouldn't reach the bottom of the mattress, but it seems like that shouldn't be a big deal.

I've noticed my sleep quality is strongly correlated with my room temperature, but being in a moderate climate I find that I need my bed and room colder to sleep better. Looks like this only provides heating.

The product is wifi and we approach integration with partners in two ways:

- some products will be integrated directly to enable a very specific user experience (in particular thermostats and smart locks for now)

- for other products we are integrated with IFTTT so that a user can customize even the most complicated scenario (we are also looking at other integration platforms, ideas are welcome)

Aaand... ticket created for the links, by tonight those logos are going to be links. In the meanwhile:

- http://www.emberlight.co/ - turn any light into a smart light

- https://www.thisisbeep.com/ - bringing music to every room of your home

EDIT: fixed formatting of lists
