Sleep Universe Platform
Build Roadmap
Four phases. Each phase ships a usable product, not a milestone toward one. Phase 0 is hardware prototype validation happening now. Phases 1-3 are the software build sequence.

Phase 0 In Progress 8 features
Prototype Validation
Hardware-to-software integration on developer boards. No production software is built here - the goal is to prove that a phone command can reach the OKIN adjustable base through the hub architecture, and that the ESB pairing protocol works as designed. Everything in Phase 1 depends on this holding up.
What gets proven
  • Raspberry Pi 4 hub with XIAO module array running
  • CB2542 serial bridge operational
  • ESB bed pairing with the OKIN base confirmed
  • UART-to-MQTT bridge functional on local network
  • Head and foot position control and telemetry live
Key constraint to know
  • Local MQTT broker only - no remote access yet
  • RPi4 is a dev board, not a consumer device ($60-75, 30+ sec boot)
  • OKIN Hub hardware in transit as of August 2026 - no code tested yet
L1 Bed Control: local only
Phase 1 Next 36 features
Control and First Data Loop
The first product a consumer can actually use. Remote bed control from anywhere, a real user account, and a nightly sleep summary that closes the first data loop: bed position + Apple Health sleep stages in one place. This phase also lays the full data governance foundation required before health data is captured at scale.
What ships
  • Cloud MQTT relay - removes local-network-only limitation
  • iOS and Android apps with full bed control
  • Hub onboarding flow (Wi-Fi, pairing, wearable connect)
  • User accounts, device management, OTA firmware updates
  • Apple Health integration - sleep stages, SpO2, heart rate
  • Nightly sleep summary combining bed and wearable data
  • Local fallback mode if cloud drops
Data and security foundation
  • AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit from day one
  • Authenticated cloud MQTT (no anonymous connections)
  • Data export and account deletion on request
  • No third-party data sale - architectural constraint, not policy

Phase 2 Future 45 features
Environment and Intelligence
The platform starts earning the "Sleep Universe" name. The hub goes from bed controller to room intelligence hub: environmental sensors, smart home automation via Matter/Thread, and expanded wearable integrations. Passive sleep insights unlock the premium subscription tier. Production hub hardware replaces the RPi4 prototype.
What ships
  • Production hub hardware (FCC/CE-certifiable, box-ready)
  • Room sensors: temperature, humidity, light, ambient noise
  • Smart home automation via Matter over Thread
  • Native HomeKit and Google Home compatibility
  • Sleep and wake routine automation (lights, thermostat, bed)
  • Oura Ring, Fitbit, and Google Fit integrations
  • Passive sleep insights - "Your deepest sleep happens at 67°F"
  • Sleep score and environment correlation
  • Premium subscription tier launch
Platform differentiators unlocked
  • Multi-source correlation: wearable stages vs. bed position vs. room
  • Snore detection via hub microphone
  • Partner mode: dual-user split base control
  • Weekly sleep digest with trend lines
  • Monitoring, backup, and disaster recovery infrastructure

Phase 3 Future 12 features
Automation and Scale
The platform stops asking and starts acting. Active automation adjusts the environment every night without prompting. Voice control closes the final hands-free loop. Sleep coaching programs add a high-value subscription layer. The Path B evaluation - opening the platform to third-party hardware brands - becomes viable once the data moat is established.
What ships
  • Active environment automation - no nightly prompting
  • Wake word detection with dedicated on-device chip
  • Voice bed control and routine triggers
  • Sleep coaching programs (multi-week, personalized)
  • Long-term health trend analysis (1+ year)
Path B: open platform
  • External REST API for third-party hardware brands
  • Webhook system for partner device events
  • Hardware partner certification program
  • OEM white-label SDK with revenue share
  • Partner analytics dashboard
