I own a Dreams sleepmotion 200i power bed; and in the middle of the night when it’s cold who wants to reach out for their phone or the remote to adjust the bed. The saying goes everything is better with Bluetooth but since this already has Bluetooth perhaps we could add voice control.
Okay so the awesome Home Assistant application already has voice control sorted how do I get the bed working in Home Assistant?
Depends on which one you feel comfortable with but I like the ESP32 implementation better the whole unit costs only about £8 and has a nice web interface, smart config and over the air updates to boot.
Both options expose a restful interface to the Bluetooth control which worked nicely when configured as remote commands.

Hi @stevendodd and thanks so much for all that went getting this running for a bed.
This post is one of the main reasons I got a Raspberry Pi as I have a very similar bed and would love to control it via voice/HA.
I’m veryyy new to this all and would appreciate your help in getting it running on my HA. I’ve just bought a Raspberry Pi 400 (does have bluetooth), I’ve got HassOS 2022.7 installed, and it’s all working.
My bed is actually a Suta 500i but from what I’ve seen in the images and documents, it looks to be identical to the Dreams Sleepmotion 800i. Even the user manual is identical but with different branding. It also uses a bluetooth remote and when searching for bluetooth devices from my PC/phone the bed is discoverable.
In your GitHub link you’ve got 2 requirements: Bluepy and Flask. How/where do I install those in Homeassistant OS? However, on the latest version of HA they say that Bluepy no longer works because of Python 3.10. Is there another solution?
I’ll stop my questions there for now so as to not bombard you
Hi,
Both those modules are python libraries. If you have python. 3.9 on your raspberry pi run something like pip install and pass in the requirements.txt file and it should all work once you run the Python script.
The Python script starts up a web server and you can control the bed using URL requests as per the information in the readme file.
From there, it is a simple task to set up home Assistant using the rest URL commands again documented in the readme.
Hope it works- it will really come down to if it uses the same BLE commands as my bed. Otherwise you may have to start connecting debugger to the application to find which Bluetooth commands the app is issuing.
Really appreciate your reply and apologies for my delay… had updated my HA core which seemed to have broken some things for me so I’ve spent the last couple days trying to sort that out.
OK bought a atom light got it programs with the ESP32 program, but it wont connect… pulling my hair out, I can scan and see the bed but fails to connect. Should it connect automatically?
It’s been a couple of years since I’ve run it on that ESP32 but from memory and looking at the code you can run a scan through the UI and then click the connect link
