In-App Remote

Where to Find the In-App Remote

The in-app remote can be found in two places in the app:

  1. Go to the Home tab and select the remote icon in the top left corner, which will bring you to the in-app remote screen.

  2. Alternatively, go to the Menu tab and select Remote.
How Does the In-App Remote Work?

The in-app remote allows you to control your TEMPUR-Ergo® smart base directly from your phone using the Sleeptracker-AI® app. It connects either through Bluetooth® or over your local Wi-Fi network to send commands to your bed, such as adjusting the head and foot positions, activating massage features, or turning on underbed lighting.

In-App Remote Connection Type: Bluetooth vs. Wi-Fi

The in-app remote is able to use both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to communicate with your bed. While using a Wi-Fi connection, your app first has to send instructions to the Sleeptracker-AI® Cloud, which then communicates with the bed’s processor via Wi-Fi. However, with a Bluetooth connection, the app communicates directly with the processor, which allows for lower latency. 

To see which method of communication your in-app remote is currently using, go to the Connection Status page in the app:

  1. Open the Sleeptracker-AI® app.
  2. From the Home tab, select the icon in the top right corner
  3. Select Status, which will take you to the Connection Status page

On the Connection Status page, the third section displays the in-app remote’s connection type. Above the remote-to-bed symbols, the app will tell you whether the in-app remote is operational via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, depending on your current connection. Below the remote-to-bed symbols, you'll see a green checkmark next to whichever communication method is currently connected.

Troubleshooting the In-App Remote

The in-app remote allows you to control your adjustable base directly from the Sleeptracker-AI® mobile app. If the in-app remote is not responding or behaving unexpectedly, follow the steps below to resolve the issue.

  • Note: if your physical remote is also not working properly, this may indicate an issue with the Control Box component or your base's power supply, rather than an issue with the Sleeptracker-AI system. In this case, please contact Tempur's power base support team

 

In-App Remote Troubleshooting Steps:

Step 1: Check Wireless Connectivity

Make sure your device is properly connected:

  1. Open the Sleeptracker-AI app
  2. From the Home tab, select the icon in the top right corner
  3. Select Status
  4. Verify you have a green checkmark in the top section, indicating that the bed has a good Wi-Fi connection to the Cloud.
    • If the Smart Bed is disconnected from Wi-Fi, review the Wi-Fi Assistance article.
  5. Verify you have a green checkmark in the third section between the remote symbol and the bed
    • Above this section you should see text that indicates the in-app remote is operational via either Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (or both). 
    • You should also see a green checkmark below, next to Bluetooth® or Sleeptracker-AI® Cloud (or both). 
    • If you don't see a green checkmark next to Bluetooth®, that's okay. Bluetooth is not required for in-app remote functionality, but it does speed up the connection if Bluetooth is enabled. 

Step 2: Ensure Base is properly wired

Ensure that your base is wired correctly by going to Menu > My Smart Bed > Setup > Verify Configuration > Next.

If you encounter any errors, tap Troubleshoot Configuration > View Setup Guide, and check to see if your bed's components are plugged in properly. 


Step 3: Power-Cycle the Bed

Power-cycling (rebooting) the adjustable base can resolve connection issues:

  1. Unplug the bed from the power outlet
  2. Wait 60 seconds
  3. Plug it back in
  4. Allow a few minutes for reconnection

If you have a Split Base, please power-cycle both sides of the bed at the same time. 


Step 4: Reset the Control Box

Reset your base's Control Box to its factory settings. You can do so by pressing the Flat and Zero-G buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds on the physical remote. The remote's backlight will flash twice to indicate that the original pre-set positions have been restored. 

If you have a Split Base, repeat this step with the physical remote for the other side of the bed. 

Once complete, reopen the app and test the in-app remote.


Step 5: Update Control Box Firmware

Check for Control Box firmware updates in the Sleeptracker-AI app by going to Menu > My Smart Bed > Firmware Update. Be sure to do this step while being close to your bed with your phone. 

Once complete, reopen the app and test the in-app remote.
