Two Sleeper Set Up When Using a Shared Echo or Alexa-Enabled Device
You can link both your and a second sleeper’s Sleeptracker-AI® accounts to Alexa, in order to have Alexa respond with the correct sleeper’s information on a shared Echo or Alexa-enabled device, based on the person asking. If you have a Split-King base set to move separately, Alexa will be able to control each side of the base individually, once both accounts are linked with the directions below.

To do this, each sleeper will need to be on the same household in the Amazon Alexa app and have voice profiles configured. Here are the requirements for this to work:

  1. Both sleepers must be connected to a single Sleeptracker-AI® Monitor.
    • Verify: in the Sleeptracker-AI® app, tap the Status icon (top right from Home) and ensure both sleeper's names are shown.
    • To add a Second Sleeper: for the sleeper who is already paired to a Sleeptracker-AI® Monitor, in the Sleeptracker-AI® app, select Menu > Add Second Sleeper, and then follow the instructions shown.
  2. Each sleeper must be in the same Amazon Household:
    • Verify/Add: the person who originally set up the Amazon Echo device(s) should select here to bring up the “Manage Your Household” page. If your partner’s name is not listed, add them to your household.
  3. Both sleepers in the Amazon Household must have the Amazon Alexa app on their mobile devices.
    • If needed, here's a link for the Amazon Alexa app on the Google Play Store and here's a link for Apple's App Store. Select the respective link to be taken directly to the app store’s page on your mobile device. For Apple devices, be sure to select “Safari” if prompted. Alternatively, search for and install the “Amazon Alexa” app from your mobile device’s app store.
  4. Each sleeper should have voice profiles set up and matched with Alexa.
    • Android Devices:
      • Verify/Add: on each sleeper's mobile device, in the Amazon Alexa app, select the More tab (bottom right) > Settings > Account Settings> Your Profile & Family > select your name/profile. If you see "Your voice is recognized", under “Voice ID”, a profile has already been set up. If not, select Add Your Voice and follow the prompts.
      • Under the “Voice ID” screen, select Voice ID settings and ensure “Personalize skills” is toggled on.
    • Apple Devices:
      • Verify/Add: on each sleeper's mobile device, in the Amazon Alexa app, select the More tab (bottom right) > Settings > Account Settings> Your Profile. If you see "Add Your Voice", a profile has not been set up. Select Add Your Voice and follow the prompts.
      • Under your profile settings, select Match voice profiles and follow the prompts. If you see a "No profiles to match" message, you will either have to wait until Alexa to process the voice profiles (especially if the profile was recently added), and then try again in the future, otherwise, your voice profiles may have already been matched.
  5. Both sleepers must have the “Sleeptracker” skill enabled.
    • Verify: in the Alexa app, select the More tab > Skills & Games > Your Skills (top right), and then ensure "Sleeptracker" is listed on both user's devices.
    • To Set Up: if “Sleeptracker” is not listed, the skill is not added. To add, select the Search Icon (above “Your Skills“) > search for and select "Sleeptracker" > Enable / Launch. Enter your Sleeptracker-AI® account’s credentials and then follow the prompts.

After following the above, Alexa should recognize who is speaking and control the correct side of the base or provide sleep coaching feedback for the correct person. If the voice match is not working, you can manually switch accounts by saying, "Alexa, switch accounts."

Unlink your Sleeptracker-AI® Account
Method 1: ask Alexa to “disable the Sleeptracker skill”.

Method 2: launch the Amazon Alexa app and then select the More tab (bottom right) > Skills & Games > Search icon (top right) > search for & select “Sleeptracker” > Settings > Disable Skill.

 

*Requires a compatible Power Base.
