  “sorry honey just a bit longer, I’m in the process of flashing the bed, we can go to bed soon…god damn sig faults!”

    Ah, bed bugs.

    Huh? It’s the exact same thing as any other electronic in any home assistant smart house. Put firmware on it that you control. Why would you need to do anything about it at night.

      Because that’s when you have the time to do the maintenance.

        Why would you need to do maintenance at all?

  I wonder how it compares in functionality - to be clear, there’s no functionality I’m aware of that would require cloud (perhaps historical data).

  Still, they’re wildly expensive.

    I bought a brand new one of these on Marketplace because I really need a cooler bed, but I’ll be damned if I get sucked into a subscription for a fucking bed!! The hack i used was a workaround where you setup your own server that will set the bed temperature automatically at bedtime and can update it once again at some point during the morning (so you can wake up to a warm bed, for instance). It worked alright, but then the main unit crapped out after 2 weeks.

      You should definitely be able to fix the main unit. It’s just a heat pump. The value is the tech in the mattress cover.

        It’s actually not the pump, but the power supply that crapped out. I kept the unit because I’m sure it’s just a PC power supply, but I haven’t taken the time to crack it open. Oddly enough, there’s no information online about what the part number might be.

    Expensive but super worth it. Honestly best improvement to my sleep ever. More so than any new mattress or pillow or sheets or anything else has ever done.

  That sounds wonderful, to have an air gapped smart bed on open source software. Just like having the perfect nuclear missile launch system on Windows XP made by clever engineers. No updates, just dreams.
