Control your Sobro Smart Side Table from anywhere. Lights, cooler, alarms, sleep sounds, and your Bluetooth speaker, all from one simple app. The Sobro is more than a side table. It is a nightstand, a sound system, a reading light, and a cooler in one. This app puts all of it at your fingertips. LIGHTS, YOUR WAY Set the back light to any color or a preset scene. Dial in the front light's brightness and warmth, or let it turn on by motion or as a soft night light. Tap an Instant Mood to change the whole room in one touch: Night, Relax, Read, Movie, Bright, or Away. WAKE AND WIND DOWN Wake up to a gradual sunrise as the light fades in on the table before your alarm, with the sound on your phone. At night, Bedtime dims the light and plays a calming sleep sound to help you drift off. KEEP DRINKS COOL Turn the cooler drawer on or off and check its status from the app. YOUR MUSIC, THROUGH THE TABLE Turn on the Bluetooth speaker and pair your phone to play audio from any app through the Sobro. BUILT FOR YOUR HOME Add every Sobro in your home to one account and control each one by name. Share with your household by signing in on more than one phone. A built-in manual walks you through setup and every feature. RETURNING FROM THE OLD APP Sign in with your email and password, and your tables appear automatically. If you signed in with Facebook before, tap Forgot Password to set a password for the same email. REQUIREMENTS Works with the Sobro Smart Side Table (model SOSTB300). The table connects to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. An account is required. SUPPORT Questions? Email support@sobrodesign.com or call 1-800-898-6970, 9AM to 9PM EST, Monday to Friday.
