Max here, CTO and Co-Founder of Eight Sleep. We used 2.5M nights of sleep data to build this automated Sleep Coach feature. I'll be here all day to answer any questions from the community.

This product is awesome, one of the biggest issues I have with docker is the low visibility inside containers.

Totally, but I don't think it's going to be a physical device.

I don't believe NEST or any other device will ever be the "hub", that is my opinion, open to discuss about it.

No plans to make it non wi-fi. The antenna is inside the main enclosure, together with ambient sensors and power supply, outside of the bed.

We never record the audio from the mic, we are only capable of detecting loud sounds or a sustained vibration (snoring).

Audio is never recorded by Luna. We have a microphone in the main enclosure but we don't have an audio codec which means we cannot record the audio. The only thing we can tell is whether there's been a loud noise or some sustained

Yes, there a checkbox that enables the vibration when the alarm goes off. I am not aware of a wi-fi enabled vibration alarm, that would be an awesome product.

There are a few videos around showing demos we gave with pre-production prototypes ( http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/27/luna-smart-mattress-cover/ ) unfortunately, given the type of product, it's a litt

The alarm is part of the mobile app and it works in a similar way to the stock alarm clock app only informed by your current sleep phase. Here's the difference. Say you set your alarm for 7 am. The app starts looking at the sleep phase

Nope, it's all filtered and processed locally.

That's why we are NOT a mattress company. Look at my background, I happen to have been working in big data for the past 10 years. My last job was to run the data platform team of Upsight (former kontagent) the largest analytics and mar

That is something you can see by looking at raw data, before having them aggregated in sleep stages. Raw data never get uploaded to the server but a 3rd party app using the device API can get access to them asking permissions to the user. (

Body temperature is really hard to tell in an accurate way, even if we have some temperature sensor very close to your body: the sensor would be influenced a lot by the type of mattress. The interesting one for circadian cycles is the &quot

Haha, hopefully by you! We are giving security a very high priority and we hope the community will try as much as possible to break it to send us feedback and suggestions.

There are many reasons why we picked Polyester, the number one being that our product needs to be washable. If you look at the tech specs section on http://lunasleep.com you'll notice from the drawings that a mattress pad i

One of our first design goals was to build a product that would disappear in the bedroom and that did not require any active input from the user (you never HAVE to pull out your phone to use it). The mattress cover form factor served our go

Yes, we have another source of funding, from a group of awesome people that supported us believing in the project since the beginning. (you can find some of them in the comments)

Any 3rd party app can do everything our app can do, the APIs we use internally are the ones that will be publicly available.
26.
by maghis 12y ago
That perk means a really early access to the API and the opportunity to contribute to the design (we should probably explain it better).

by maghis 12y ago
Yes, I'm the CTO of the company. The product will have an open (and well documented) REST API from the day we ship. Our app and website will use the same exact API that 3rd party developers will use. Apps will have to levels of data ac

Thermostats: - lower the house temp when everyone is in bed (save energy + better sleep environment) - detect whether you are likely to come home tonight or not to avoid warming up your bed if you are traveling - letting the thermostat know
