I think think of few funny ideas using their open API and data. Late night achievement unlocked!
Anyone know how the alarm works? I've been using a vibrate-only alarm on Sleep Cycle with the phone under my bottom sheet to avoid waking my partner. Can this be configured in the same way somehow?
We currently don't have a built-in motor for the vibration, currently we are using the phone as an alarm, informed by the data coming from Luna. We have an experimental feature that consists in gradually increasing the volume of the alarm sound till we notice you are waking up: the goal is to keep it just loud enough to wake you up but not your partner. This is obviously assuming your phone sits on a nightstand on yo…
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.
JT from Tuft & Needle here. I met with Andrea and the team last year. They are solid. The big difference with this tech is that it can actually impact the way you sleep as opposed to just reporting data points. When you sleep badly you usually know it in the morning. A wristband telling me isn’t that useful. A tool that actually helps you fall asleep and stay asleep provides significantly more value.
This is actually less expensive than the one we bought, and obviously much more feature rich.
But as I read through the feature list, I couldn't help feel uncomfortable. Am I the only one that finds this deluge of technology into every aspect of our lives abhorrent?
Every single day billions of people stare into a screen. You can control your whole life on it. Your lights can come on when you come home (Hue), the temperature indoors is regulated (Nest), and now my partner and I can have regulated heating on either side of the bed. Those who have watched Black Mirror will see where I'm going with this.
I can't help feel that while there is nothing wrong with this product - in fact it's kinda cool - is it really something the world needs?
Anyway, best of luck to the team. It seems like a good product. You can't please everyone :)

Agreed. Would definitely need the "cooling" version.
Beyond that ... get a lighter weight blanket?
If any of the creators are reading this, is there any chance you're going to be making this in a hacker-friendly way? I've been contemplating making something sorta like this myself (although much less ambitious) and I'd really like to be able to integrate it into other smart things that I have going in my house. Also, just out of curiosity, what are you using for the WiFi connectivity? I've been playing with a bunch…
My first instinct (being the geek that I am) upon seeing this was it looks great. And having lived in England the majority of my life, with cold houses and heating turned off at night - heated underblankets are a necessity. But as I read through the feature list, I couldn't help feel uncomfortable. Am I the only one that finds this deluge of technology into every aspect of our lives abhorrent? Every single day billio…
