Nokia Sleep mattress pad analyzes your sleep patterns to improve slumber

Add as a preferred source on Google

Something so integral to our well-being really shouldn’t be so difficult, but getting a good night’s sleep often evades even the most capable of us. Here to help is Nokia, which launched the Nokia Sleep mattress pad at CES in Las Vegas this week.

This advanced, Wi-Fi-enabled pad sits under your mattress, and not only delivers personalized sleep analysis, but also offers the ability to control your smart home through IFTTT integration. Nokia’s Health Mate app is also now compatible with Alexa, which means you can ask your favorite virtual assistant to provide you with insights on your activity, sleep, and other health metrics.

Nokia Sleep provides customers with a number of key data points related to your sleep habits and environment. The sensor boasts sleep cycle analysis, which includes information about your sleep duration and interruptions, snoring, and light, deep, and rapid-eye movement phases. Nokia Sleep also provides an individualized Sleep Score to help you quantify how restful your sleep really was, and hopefully, help you improve your slumber based on each night’s experience.

If there are certain elements in your surroundings that can be adjusted to make said improvements, Nokia Sleep can take care of those via its IFTTT integration. The sleep pad also functions as a switch that can automatically control lights, thermostats, radios, and more to personalize and optimize your sleeping environment.

“Our vision is to help make the world a healthier place, and quality of sleep is as critical a component of a healthy lifestyle as regular exercise and a balanced diet,” said Rob Le Bras Brown, head of Nokia’s digital health business. “Nokia Sleep gives users insight into what happens when their eyes are closed, along with the ability to change the environment for more restorative sleep with the IFTTT home automation capabilities.”

The Nokia Sleep mattress pad will be made available in the first quarter of 2018 for just under $100, and can be purchased from the Nokia website or Amazon. The Nokia Health Mate app Alexa Skill, will be available in Beta beginning January 8, 2018.

Google is giving smart-home owners a rather interesting new option: letting an AI agent of their choice run the house. The company has introduced Google Home MCP, a new Model Context Protocol integration that allows compatible AI agents such as Claude, Google Antigravity, Hermes, and OpenClaw to access and control devices connected to Google Home. It can also access device history, meaning the AI isn't limited to simply switching a light on or off.

Haier brought its “Home of Intelligent Possibilities” vision to IFA 2026, showcasing products across laundry, refrigeration, cooking, dishwashing, televisions and floorcare. AI, sensors and connected technology featured across the range, but the more interesting question was what those systems actually did. In many cases, they were being used to help appliances recognise what was happening and make adjustments without requiring another instruction from the user.

SimpliSafe Video Doorbell Series 2

Video doorbells are great for keeping an eye on what goes around your house. But when a package is being stolen, all you get is the footage of someone walking away with our stuff. SimpliSafe is working on making things a little more secure.

The company’s new Video Doorbell Series 2 extends its Active Guard Outdoor Protection service directly to the front door. When the doorbell detects a potential threat, trained US-based monitoring agents can view the live feed, speak directly to the person outside, activate the doorbell’s siren, and, when necessary, request police dispatch while the camera records what is happening.
