A Cutting-Edge Sleep Trainer for Optimal Rest and Wellness
The Odie project focuses on developing a comprehensive Sleep Trainer to help users improve their sleep cycles. The solution integrates 5 different sleep-enhancing scenes, including a red-shaded night light, animations, and sound, to create an ideal environment for restful sleep. The project leverages real-time sound streaming, animation synchronization, and alarm management as key components.
Epteck was tasked with designing and implementing both the firmware and hardware for the device, as well as the mobile application. The project ensured smooth integration between the backend, device, and application while also prioritizing system security and reliability. The outcome significantly enhanced user experience through a combination of optimized alarm functionality, real-time control, and performance monitoring.

What We Did to Solve the Problems
Epteck implemented a comprehensive solution that integrates real-time sound and animation synchronization, seamless device control, and efficient alarm management.
Main Device Side Firmware
We developed the firmware using Espadf for sound management and EspIdf for the main application, which handled essential functions such as alarm scheduling, sound testing, and device control.
Device Hardware Design
The device hardware was designed to integrate seamlessly with the application, supporting features like the red-shaded night light and other sleep-promoting functionalities.
Smooth Onboarding Process
We developed a smooth BLE-based (Bluetooth Low Energy) onboarding system, enabling users to quickly set up and connect their device to their mobile app using Android and iOS.
Alarm Management
The mobile application was built to allow users to add, delete, and modify alarms directly through the app, giving them full control over their sleep and wake-up times.
Battery Monitoring
A battery monitoring system was developed to track the device’s battery usage, ensuring efficient power consumption and alerting users when the battery needed charging.
Real-Time Sound and Animation Testing
We ensured that both sounds and animations worked seamlessly in real-time, which was essential for creating a synchronized sleep environment.
Backend and Device Communication
We developed a robust backend system to ensure smooth communication between the mobile app and the device, which also supported multiple devices without issues.
Crash Report Mechanism
The EspIdf core dump functionality was implemented to automatically generate crash reports in case the device encountered any errors, ensuring quick resolution and minimal downtime.
Animation Development
Five unique sleep-enhancing animations were created to work with the device’s light and sound features. Additionally, the main screen was designed to display battery status, so users could monitor the device’s power level.
Benefits Delivered to the Customer
Enhanced Cyber Security
The system was hardened with secureboot and vulnerability assessments, ensuring a secure experience. Battery monitoring and crash reporting were implemented to ensure minimal downtime and longevity of the device.
Improved Software Reliability
Outdated components were replaced, and vulnerabilities were fixed, boosting reliability by 70%.
Optimized User Experience
Real-time sound and animation synchronization and smooth communication between the app and device.
Operational Efficiency
Battery monitoring and crash reporting were implemented to ensure minimal downtime and longevity of the device.
Reduced Onboarding Time
The BLE-based mobile onboarding process was designed to reduce setup time significantly, helping users get started with the device quickly and efficiently.
Backend System Reliability
We ensured that the backend system could reliably manage multiple devices, ensuring scalability as the customer’s user base grew.
