Device and product data

If you use the SmartSleep device, when you install the App you can synchronize the data from the SmartSleep device to the App. The data recorded by the device includes sleep patterns, signal, and impedance, sleep metrics such as: when you went to sleep, when you wake, your total sleep time, your slow wave activity, tones delivered by the device, duration of tones delivered, your sleep stages, how many times you wake at night, and for how long.

 

If you use Somneo, the Device records  the settings you have enabled such as functions like alarm, relaxed breathing, dusk function (e.g. what time the alarm is set up for, chosen light curve and sound), night light, and start bedtime.   It also records your environmental sensor data such as temperature, humidity, light level and sound pressure].  Somneo also tracks your unique User Device number, session and usage data (e.g. light, sound, display and feature usage), firmware updates, Device resets, location, time zone, WiFi signal strengths, which provides information about your use of the Device. The collected data will be synchronized via WiFi with the App and/or other data storage.
