Thread: DEILD Device

Hi, with all of the latest gadgets on the market, i am still shocked that there is no simple device to succesfully DEILD when the concept / idea is so very simple

If there was something that could be worn on the wrist that vibrates after 6 hours of sleep and them 30 mins after which would auto shut off after 5 seconds then this would be fantastic. However ..

I have an Apple I watch, i also have an app that rings my phone at 6 hours / 6.5 hours / 7 hours etc for a few seconds. The watch then vibrates on my wrist. The problem is that the vibrate on on the watch is not strong enough to wake me up

I have spend months researching and there is actually no device on Earth that you can put on your wrist to vibrate at set intervals for several seconds ... nothing (apart from apple watch which is not strong enough)

Entrepreneurs out there ... a market awaits! :-)

Create something that goes onto your wrist and then vibrates for several seconds at set intervals (strong enough to wake someone up)

This would make an amazing DEILD device!!!

I appreciate that there are auto shut off alarm clocks and that headphones can be worn with iphone apps etc but something simple on the wrist would do the trick

Hi, itried that but the vibrating alarm on an iphone is even weaker than the watch. Also, on nearly all smart phones the vibrating alarm is accompanied by a loud buzzing noise which will wake the wife up :-(

I believe ive tried every suggestion that people are going to reply with so the challenge is on! :-D

looks like it work wake me up but i would not know how to connect this to work via bluetooth / apps and my phone. Im about as good with electronics as a hoofless beach donkey ... someday, someone will merge an auto shut off alarm app with the iwatched heart beat monitor with the vibration alarm and become a legend in the lucid dreaming community

For now everyone has to make do with ineffective alarm systems

You could use the MiBand or any other fitnes band that supports vibration and bluetooth LE and an app.
I did some tinkering with the MiBand and an Rasperry Pi with a Zeo Bedside attached to it for REM detection. Not a finished app yet, but promising.

Hi, the problem is the strength of the vibrations. The iWatch is not strong enough to wake someone up. Do you have any knowledge of a bluetooth wristband with a good strong vibrations?

Thanks
