Sense-U Smart Baby Monitor with Body Movement, Abdominal Skin Temperature, Sleeping Position as Sleep Quality Indicators with Audio Notification on Smartphone

It's a good product, but it has a slightly quirky impression. Below, I tried various things and found out.* Base station ⇒ BSWith BSThe sensor and BS (and smartphone) are connected via Wi-Fi. You cannot connect via Bluetooth.If Wi-Fi reaches the sensor and BS, it will work normally even if the smartphone is far away (smartphone can be used for mobile data communication or another Wi-Fi).[Advantage] For example, when having her husband baby-sit at home, the wife can check the baby's body movements and temperature on the smartphone while away from home. Of course, if something happens, the base station will make a warning sound, so there is no problem on the side at home. Furthermore, if you share the same account with your wife and husband's smartphone, you can use the app with each other (when one is logged in, the other is automatically logged out). In addition, the BS has a built-in thermo-hygrometer, which can be viewed with the app.[Disadvantage] When going out with a baby, Wi-Fi does not reach the sensor, so it is not possible to check body temperature etc. with a smartphone. Not suitable for people who want to use it even at their parents' home.Without BSThe sensor and smartphone are connected via Bluetooth. You cannot connect via Wi-Fi.If the distance between the smartphone and the sensor is short (Bluetooth can reach), it works normally.[Advantage] The smartphone does not need to be connected to the Internet via specific Wi-Fi or mobile data communication. Therefore, as long as the smartphone and the sensor are connected via Bluetooth, you can check the body temperature etc. even when you go out with your baby. For example, when I go to my parents' house, the sensor works just like at home. Also, probably because of the Bluetooth connection, the response to on / off in the app is better than when connecting to Wi-Fi.[Disadvantage] If there is a wall between the sensor and the smartphone, it may not work even if it is only about 5m away. Also, since the app can only be used on smartphones with Bluetooth settings, it is not possible to share app accounts with multiple smartphones. However, for example, it is possible to share the smartphone itself by dedicating the smartphone after the model change that is no longer needed for monitoring.In short ...If you want to use the sensor only at home, check the state of the baby at home from outside, or manage the application with multiple people, BS is better. If you want to use the sensor not only at home but also when you go out with with your baby, or if you want to manage apps with one smartphone, it is better to have no BS.Also, if you want to check the state of the baby in a separate room a little away, it is more advantageous to have a BS and Wi-Fi connection. If you don't receive Wi-Fi, you can deal with it by buying a high-end router model or a repeater. On the other hand, if you use it only in the same room, the response of the application is better if you connect via Bluetooth without BS.If you don't know which one is better, but you can afford it a little, it's safe to buy it with BS (you have the option of having BS but not using it).About the sensorSince the body movement is detected by the movement of the abdomen during breathing, it is difficult to detect the body movement when lying on the stomach. When sleeping on a highly cushioned mattress with a thickness of 10 cm or more, body movement is easily detected even when lying face down. Unnecessary alerts can be stressful for both the baby and the parent, so when attaching a sensor to a baby who likes prone sleeping, you need to choose the right mattress.Also, it is an interesting idea to be able to continuously monitor not only body movement but also body temperature. However, because of the skin temperature of the abdomen, it tends to be lower than measured by the side. Considering that point, it is a very convenient function.

Was hard to get to connect to my phone, showed 80% battery life but then unit wouldn’t power on due to dead battery

I have used it for 3 nights, the first night went as expected I stayed upped watching my baby breathe because of my anxiety and not trusting this monitor but it did give me a sense of hope when it "false" alarmed on low breathing which honestly I don't mind I would rather wake up to 10 "false" alarms just to know it works. The second night rolled around and I was pretty confident in the monitor that I at least tried to relax and get some sleep after dozing off for a bit I woke up to my phone being extremely hot and the monitor had disconnected. I have no idea how long long it had been disconnected for. So anxiety levels went back up. The third night I was more alert and mindful of the previous night monitor disconnecting so I stayed awake for a bit watching the app and watching it disconnect and reconnect all while my phone isn't being used for anything and it being 2 feet away from the monitor. So as much as I would like to love this monitor I just simply can't even like it. While it works great when it is connected it just simply is not reliable.

We decided to go with the sense u clip after reading about false alarm and accuracy issues with brands like the owlet - I haven’t regretted this purchase! We have been using the clip for a little over a month now and haven’t had an issue! It was easy to set up, the readings are accurate, and I have yet to have a false alert that the baby has rolled over. This product gave me the peace of mind I needed after bringing home a nicu baby. Would definitely suggest purchasing! We use this on the outside of the swaddle with accurate readings.

I like it. It gives me a bit more relief when my baby is sleeping. I would buy batteries with it

I was really excited about recieving this product. I loked the fact that it detected breathing, temp and roll over. But what's the point in it if it keeps shutting off randomly. That does me no good when I'm sleeping and have no idea. Also I have it set for the alarms to go off in 15 seconds. Sometimes they do sometimes they don't. I've been playing with it to test it out. Just frustrated becuase I really wanted this to work. I think I'm going to return and try something different.

This device has provided peace of mind with my newborn. I’m not a fan of clipping this to the diaper and getting his bodily fluids all over it so I’ve snapped it between his clothing usually. Because of this the clip broke on one of his thicker items of clothing but found that there was a spare clip provided! I still haven’t figured out the toggle of clipping it with baby icon out vs against baby and showing baby on back but it seemed to have corrected itself for me at some point and works great!

We aren’t due until the end of January, but we tested it out on ourselves and it works like a charm! I like having a device that I can test on us before putting it on the baby :)
