SleepMapper

Echoing some other reviewers from this month—the current version of this app has a bug that prevents it from connecting to my Somneo for any longer than a few minutes, if it ever connects at all. My Somneo *is* connected to the same Wi-Fi network my phone is on—I see the Wi-Fi icon on the Somneo’s screen—but the app doesn’t recognize this. I’ve tried hard-resetting the Somneo repeatedly, to no avail. Update: After upgrading my iPhone, this app finally connects reliably. But my old phone was an iPhone XS, so it’s not like it was outdated or anything. Short of buying a new phone, I’m not sure how to fix this issue for others who may still experience it. (Maybe try a factory reset?) The temperature and humidity graphs are very useful, and I’m a lot happier with my Somneo now.

It’s somewhat frustrating not being able to control the clock over the internet, sometimes I go to visit family and I don’t want the power leaks to go off forever just because I forgot to turn it off before I left. I’ll be able to get around this with a vpn, which I’m planning to do anyways to get internet-wise access to pi-hole. I get that it is probably a security concern, but perhaps it could be possible to create an API for the system that can be controlled with Siri, ifttt, etc. I’d like to be able to set an alarm with Siri, turn on/off the radio/aux cable, turn on/off the main light, and turn on sleep tracking. It would be also be great to get Siri to report the ambient conditions around you because it is already collecting that data.

I downloaded and used this app as part of a trial program. The first exercise was to set a consistent wake up time which I was surprised taught me that habit very quickly. However the bad side is that I had to set my wake up time for my earliest daytime start. So then I was waking up at 6 AM every day yet most of the time I could wake up later. But the training had made me always wake up earlier so I was not happy at all. I was expecting additional exercises to come after that but there were none. So the app has done nothing to help me go to sleep earlier which is what I really wanted. If you want to train yourself to wake up at a consistent time I do recommend this app as it worked very quickly for me to train that behavior. But I see no other benefit to this app

Love my Somneo device. Has improved my sleep quality and my ability to fall a sleep. Easy to wake up and I will admit, I feel refreshed. The device is wonderful. The app can be a tad slow compared to most apps but the Sleep Tracking function, which is still in Beta failed to work. I’ve had success with it for maybe 3 nights and then it stopped. Not sure if it was the recent update or not. Also the message “unable to connect to your Somneo” appears and locks you out of controlling functions but then he reconnects. Buggy app for a wonderful product. Some work and testing is needed. Get this to hue app quality and everything will be perfect. Thank You again for a wonderful physical product :)

I use this app and also use Philips DreamMapper and both apps have been hugely frustrating from the start. DreamMapper can never connect to the backend server and I constantly lose access to my data. This app keeps insisting my phone and wake up light are connected to different networks after I add the wifi info to the wake up light (spoiler alert, they’re not). The only resolution is to completely reset the light and try again. I’ve done that at least a dozen times and tried different phones, different mobile OS’s, tablets, three different routers and I STILL get the same “different network” error. It’s so bad, I’m ready to begin avoiding any Philips products that depend on a companion app.
