I have tried the following devices to exhaustion will in depth analysis of the years.

Apple watch with an Android app that rings an iphone which in turn vibrated the watch at set periods during the night for a set amount of time
Headphones with auto-stop alarms
Earbuds with auto stop alarms
Iphones attached to my leg
RemDreamer
Remee
Aurora Headband
Samsung Gear attached to my ankle with a vibration (ditto) device crafted into a ring on my finger
Wired headphones / unwired headphones
Every lucid dreaming app on the market

I really have tried everything on earth every night and I now have a lot of data to work with and have had many dozens of lucid dreams this way

I have reached many conclusions and just some main points are the following...

it doesnt matter what device you use as long as it can rouse you from your dream and then switch off after a few seconds

I now use the Aurora headband and the REM detection is great, and its quite comfortable. It is the ONLY non-mask device on the planet that will detect REM and then flash light cues with sound.

Im happy to answer any questions as DEILD is my passion that I practise every night
DUDE! FIVE MONTHS OF CRUEL SILENCE AFTER YOUR TEASE ABOUT GETTING THE AURORA! Out with it! Details, data! Spit it oot, lad! You've got to have tons of graphs and success rates by now! How accurate is the Aurora REM detection now?

How did you craft the vibration device onto a ring? How was it controlled? How did the smart-phone-strapped-to-the-leg work? I tried it a few times on the arm held in by a sock I cut in half but I found it still bothered my sleep.

I have my own EILD setup in progress based on bedside night vision camera. I have face detection and eye movement detection pretty well working, but it's just bits and pieces of little building blocks that I still need to weave into a working whole and smooth flow. I call it "The Night's Watch" .

The camera captures movement location and magnitude perfectly (with nothing to wear!) I would like to gather heart rate & temperature info a well probably from an under-the-sheet pad (there's a commercial product that does that, I may try to reverse engineer its communication protocol to see if I can get live data into my own system). I'd also like to create my own (or repurpose where possible, so far all systems I see are closed, nobody wants to give out an API to live, streaming data from their device) notification devices. LED displays are easy as are sound. Vibration devices that are comfortable enough to sleep with are more of a challenge.
