File contents

Smart Bed Control (Eight Sleep)

Control your Eight Sleep Pod mattress temperature and schedules.

Prerequisites

Install eightctl:

pip install eightctl
# GitHub: https://github.com/mezz64/pyeight (Python library)
# CLI wrapper: pip install eightctl

Or use the Python library directly:

pip install pyeight

First-time setup — set credentials:

export EIGHT_USER="your@email.com"
export EIGHT_PASS="yourpassword"
# Or create ~/.config/eightctl/config.yml

Requires an Eight Sleep account and active Pod subscription.

Commands

Status

eightctl status                 # Full device status
eightctl status --side left     # Left side only
eightctl status --side right    # Right side only
eightctl sleep-data             # Last night's sleep summary

Temperature Control

Temperature level: -100 (coldest) to +100 (hottest). Zero = neutral.

eightctl set-temp --side left --level 20    # Warm left side
eightctl set-temp --side right --level -30  # Cool right side
eightctl set-temp --side both --level 0     # Neutral both sides
eightctl off --side both                    # Turn off heating/cooling

Alarms

eightctl alarms                             # List all alarms
eightctl set-alarm --side left --time 07:00 # Set alarm (24h format)
eightctl delete-alarm --id [alarm_id]

Schedules

eightctl schedules              # List active schedules
eightctl schedule-status        # Show tonight's scheduled settings

Usage Examples

"Check bed status"

eightctl status

"Set my side (left) to level 30 for warmth"

eightctl set-temp --side left --level 30

"Cool down the right side to -20"

eightctl set-temp --side right --level -20

"Turn off the bed"

eightctl off --side both

"Set my alarm to 7am"

eightctl set-alarm --side left --time 07:00

"How did I sleep last night?"

eightctl sleep-data

Temperature Level Guide

Level	Feel
-100 to -50	Very cold
-50 to -20	Cool
-20 to 0	Slightly cool / neutral
0 to 20	Slightly warm
20 to 50	Warm
50 to 100	Hot

Rules

Check if CLI is installed first: which eightctl || python3 -c "import pyeight" 2>/dev/null
If not installed, show pip install command and stop
If credentials not set, instruct user to set EIGHT_USER and EIGHT_PASS environment variables
Temperature level is -100 to +100, NOT degrees Celsius/Fahrenheit — clarify if user asks "set to 25 degrees"
Side values: left, right, or both
If device is not online, suggest checking WiFi connection of the Pod
Keep responses concise: report what was set and current status
