The tradeoff: Setup needs an account, the app and Wi-Fi. It keeps its settings through a power cut, but Tommee Tippee does not say it keeps running.

Set this clock up

  1. Download the Tommee Tippee Smart App from Google Play or the App Store and register an account.
  2. In the app, tap Add Device and choose GroClock Connect. Plug the clock in: the Wi-Fi symbol flashes quickly; if it does not, press and hold the large Sleep button on the back until it does.
  3. If your phone can stay on your Wi-Fi’s 2.4 GHz band while you set up, connect in EZ mode. If it cannot, as with many mesh or dual-band routers, tap EZ Mode in the top right corner and choose AP mode: hold the Sleep button until the Wi-Fi symbol flashes slowly, and join the clock’s own “Sleep Trainer” hotspot when the app asks.
  4. When the Wi-Fi symbol stays on, the clock is connected. In the app, set the color and brightness for Sleep Time, Wake Time and Nap Time (red is the default for sleep and naps) and add up to four alarms, each for the days you choose.
  5. Each evening, start the night with the Sleep button on the clock: it is the one thing Tommee Tippee kept off the app, as a last bedtime cue for your child. Double-tap it to start a nap, which lasts as long as the countdown you set in the app. To lock the buttons, hold Set and Scroll on the back for three seconds until the lock symbol shows; the padlock in the app does the same, and you can still change settings in the app.

Check the age warning and whether your child is ready separately, and see how to set an OK-to-wake clock for other clocks.

Features the maker’s manual doesn’t mention aren’t listed here, so the clock matcher won’t suggest this clock for them.

A nap timer and a nap wake-up time work differently. The planner keeps them separate.

Clocks changing, or an early riser? Move the wake-up light in small steps with the clock-change planner.

Without Wi-Fi or a phone

The maker does not say whether saved schedules keep running without Wi-Fi, so the matcher leaves it out when you need that.

Setup network: 2.4 GHz in EZ mode; if you cannot limit your Wi-Fi to 2.4 GHz during setup (a mesh router, for example), AP mode connects the clock through its own hotspot.

When your child outgrows the light

Tommee Tippee Connected Sleep Trainer has a sound alarm you set apart from the wake-up light, so it can become your child’s alarm clock once school mornings start. When to move on to a kids’ alarm clock.

Check it in your home

While you can still return it, try the buttons and the app you will actually use. These are checks for you to make; we have not tested this clock.

  • Find how to change the times and switch the wake-up light on, then check it shows the light and sound you chose.
  • Check the brightness, the volume and where the clock stands, using the maker’s placement advice. Check what the lock stops and which buttons still work.
  • Use the clock’s own preview or test, if it has one, rather than unplugging it or resetting it to see what happens.
  • Have the other parent, a grandparent or the sitter open the app with their own account. Read what to do after a power cut before you need it.

Agree on what the light means and what to do if it does not come on, then keep the manual or the maker’s help page with your plan.

Show your child what this clock’s light means, and leave a note for the sitter.

If the light does not come on, check the time, the mode and the power before you reset the clock.
