About Sleep as Android
Sleep as Android
How you can use this integration
The Sleep as Android integration allows you to trigger sleep-related automations. You can trigger actions when sleep tracking starts or stops, such as dimming the lights or adjusting thermostat settings. Alarm events allow you to respond to snoozing or dismissing alarms — like starting a morning routine or sending a notification if the alarm was skipped. Additionally, you can react to specific sleep phases or sound detections (for example, snoring or baby crying), or monitor critical conditions such as sleep apnea.
Prerequisites
This integration uses webhooks to receive events from Sleep as Android. By default, webhook triggers can only be accessed from devices on the same network as Home Assistant. If you want to receive events while away from your home network, remote access must be enabled, either by adding a remote URL or via Nabu Casa Cloud
Steps to set up the integration:
- Preferably, open Home Assistant on the device you want to connect to the Sleep as Android integration and initiate the setup.
- You will be presented a URL during the setup process. Mark the URL and copy it to the clipboard.
- Open the Sleep as Android app and go to
Settings > Services > Automation > Webhooks. - Turn on the switch to enable webhooks and paste the webhook URL from your clipboard into the URL field.
To receive updates from Sleep as Android while away from home, your Home Assistant instance must be remotely accessible.
You can enable this by configuring a remote URL for Home Assistant or by using Home Assistant Cloud.
When setting up the Sleep as Android integration, the webhook is created using your external or cloud URL if remote access is available at that time.
If your instance is not remotely accessible during setup, the webhook will use your internal URL instead.
In this case, you will need to manually update the webhook to use your remote URL once remote access is configured.
If you scroll to the top and select Events, you can individually select and deselect the events the Sleep as Android app should trigger.

Data updates
This integration receives push updates from the Sleep as Android app whenever an event is triggered. If no events occur, the displayed data may become outdated.
Known limitations
-
If Home Assistant is unreachable when an event is pushed, for example when you are away from your home network without remote access, the Sleep as Android integration will miss the update. The app does not retry sending it.
-
The integration does not support controlling the Sleep as Android app, such as setting alarm times or turning off alarms.
Troubleshooting
The Sleep as Android integration receives updates via a push from your Sleep as Android app to a webhook. If you encounter issues, verify that your Home Assistant is reachable from your mobile phone.
In any case, when reporting an issue, please enable debug logging, restart the integration, and as soon as the issue reoccurs, stop the debug logging again (download of debug log file will start automatically). Further, if still possible, please also download the diagnostics data. If you have collected the debug log and the diagnostics data, provide them with the issue report.
