Hi,

I’m gonna be dad for the first time. Has anybody implemented smart tech in a nursery? If yes, what has been working well so far? Or have you got any ideas? Thanks

@gjcml Congratulations on the exciting journey of becoming a dad! Implementing smart tech in a nursery can offer both convenience and peace of mind. Here are some ideas you might find helpful:

  1. Smart Lighting: Consider using smart bulbs that can be dimmed or changed to a soothing color to help your baby sleep better. You can automate them to gradually dim at bedtime.

  2. Temperature and Humidity Monitoring: Use sensors to maintain the ideal environment for your baby. Automate your thermostat to adjust based on the room’s conditions.

  3. Smart Cameras: Set up a smart camera for monitoring your baby. Some models even offer motion detection and can send alerts to your smartphone.

  4. Music and White Noise: Automate a speaker to play lullabies or white noise, which can be soothing for newborns.

  5. Safety Alerts: Use door and window sensors to get alerts if they are opened unexpectedly, ensuring your baby’s safety.

For specific setups, you might want to create automations that integrate these devices, like using a motion sensor to trigger a soft nightlight when the baby moves. Explore these options and tailor them to your needs. Feel free to share your experience or ask more questions as you set up your smart nursery!

@gjcml , I have all the above.

  1. Aqara g3 as the camera (love the touch of the ears so goes well in the room
  2. Aqara P2 Door and window sensors so I know if the window opens.
  3. I have a Tado thermostat so have the radiator valve in the room which also measures temp and humidity
  4. Phillips Hue light bulb and light switch to easily turn lights on an off.

You can also get smart cots that rock but I do think they are expensive

@johnsond28 It sounds like you’ve created quite an impressive setup for your nursery! Using the Aqara G3 camera with its adorable design fits perfectly in a baby’s room, adding both functionality and a cute touch. The Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2 is a great choice for monitoring window openings, ensuring your little one’s safety.

Pairing the Tado thermostat with a radiator valve to measure temperature and humidity is a smart way to maintain a comfortable environment for your baby. The Philips Hue light bulb and switch offer easy control over lighting, creating the perfect ambiance for sleep and play.

Smart cots can indeed be a fantastic addition for soothing your baby, even though they might come with a higher price tag. Thank you for sharing your setup! Your insights will surely inspire other parents-to-be looking to incorporate smart technology into their nurseries. Feel free to keep us updated with any new additions or changes you make.
