STEP 1: UNPACK
The Project Nursery Smart Sound Soother is the most intelligent way
to help your little bundle of joy sleep soundly, with lullabies and nature
sounds and a built-in multi-color nightlight that provides a soft glow.
And you can control it all from anywhere on your smartphone using
the Project Nursery Smart Sound Soother App! (It even works with
Alexa!)
Set schedules for naps and bed time, set up preset programs with
your favorite light and sound combinations you can use with a single
press, even let your little one know when he or she can get up with
the OK-To-Wake feature that makes the soother glow with the color of
your choice when it’s time to rise.
This Quick Start Guide takes you through the steps to get started.

Control your Smart Soother with Alexa!

then use the chart below for quick reference!
To start controlling with Alexa: Say “Alexa, open Smart Soother.”
Then use one of voice commands below while the light ring is lit on
your speaker. IMPORTANT: Use the name you gave your camera in the
setup process—in the examples below the camera is named “Nursery.”
FOR... SAY...

(1=Brahms’ lullaby, 2= Greensleeves, 3= Canon in D, 4= waves, 5=
rain, 6=white noise)

voice commands, go to the Project Nursery Smart Soother skill in the Alexa App.
TIP: YOU CAN ALSO USE ANYTIME COMMANDS
Anytime Commands work whenever your Project Nursery Smart

To start controlling using Anytime Commands: Say “Alexa, ask
Smart Soother to...” followed by one of the commands in the table.
For example, “Alexa, ask Smart Soother to play sound 6 on Nursery.”
