The tradeoff to know
The two modes are activated on the clock and use clock-time wake settings; there is no operating battery, and a long outage requires correcting the time.
Setup and everyday controls
Settings are entered on the clock. No app is needed for setup, and no account is required.

Access for another caregiver
Caregivers use the clock’s physical controls; app invitations are not part of this setup. Check the exact button sequence and lock before handing over. This does not establish resistance to a child changing settings.
Check invitations, device teams and handover.
Compare the practical differences in app and on-device controls.

A nap countdown and a second wake time work differently. The planner keeps them separate.
Without Wi-Fi or a phone
The documented schedule settings can be edited on the clock without internet.
Saved scheduled cues can run without Wi-Fi.
The documented local controls do not depend on an internet connection.
Power and what happens in an outage
Power loss freezes the clock and saved values; it does not keep time or operate until power returns, so a long outage leaves the displayed time behind by the outage duration.
- Operating power
- External power required
- Power connection
- 1.8 m micro-USB cable; wall adapter not included
- Settings memory
- Yes
See why settings memory is different from operating battery backup.
Subscription and included parts
The core wake cue does not require a paid subscription.

Check it in your home
While your support or return options are available, try the exact controls you will use. These are checks for you to make; we have not tested this clock.
- Find the button or app path for changing and enabling a cue. Check the actual symbol, light and sound you selected.
- Check brightness, volume and the clock’s position using its placement instructions. Confirm what the lock does and which controls remain accessible.
- Use the manufacturer’s documented test or preview path to check your setup. Avoid an improvised reset or disconnect test.
- Have the next caregiver try their own access. Read the outage, reconnect and reset instructions before you need them.
Agree on the cue’s meaning and a fallback, then keep the exact manual or support page with your plan.
Write a household cue card for this clock.
