Onboarding

A step-by-step walkthrough of the setup wizard, with a screenshot for every screen. The wizard runs automatically the first time you power on your Dreamie and guides you through connecting to Wi‑Fi, setting your sleep goals, and creating your first wake‑up schedule.

Next / Start / Let's go — advance to the next screen.
Back chevron (left edge, ‹) — return to the previous screen. Present on every screen except Welcome and the final "ready" screen.
Skip — where shown, jumps past an optional section.
Inputs used during onboarding: the touchscreen (taps/swipes), the rotary control ring, and the brightness touch strip.

1. Welcome

The wizard opens with the welcome screen. Tap Start to begin. Privacy policy and Regulatory info are reachable from the bottom links.

2. Connect to Wi‑Fi

Dreamie scans for nearby wireless networks and shows them under Available Networks. (You can tap Skip to set up Wi‑Fi later — skipping also bypasses the software-update check in step 3.)

Wait for the scan to finish, then tap your network (Try12345 in the example below).
Enter the password on the on-screen keyboard (tap 123 for the numeric layout), then tap the green ✓. The eye icon reveals the typed password.
Dreamie shows Connecting to …, then Connected to … with a green checkmark. Tap Next.

3. Checking for software updates

Once Wi‑Fi is connected, Dreamie automatically checks for the latest software updates ("Connecting to Ambient's server"). If an update is available it downloads and installs here; otherwise it shows "Dreamie is up to date" with a checkmark. Tap Next. This screen is skipped entirely if you skipped Wi‑Fi.

4. Set your time zone

Pick your Continent, then your Location. Next is enabled once a location is selected.

5. Reflect on your sleep

A short intro to the sleep-profile questions: "Understanding your current sleep habits helps show your progress over time." Tap Next (or Skip to jump straight to sleep goals).

6. Profile — how many hours do you sleep?

Set roughly how many hours you currently sleep each night using the hour/minute selector. All profile values are "Adjustable in menu/sleep goals."

7. Profile — rate your sleep quality

Tap one of the five faces, from Very Poor to Excellent.

8. Set your sleep goals (intro)

Transition screen: "Start with what feels realistic… The goal is steady progress over time." Tap Next (or Skip).

9. Goal — ideal wake-up time

Set the time you'd like to wake up. Used to compute your recommended bedtime two screens later.

10. Goal — sleep duration

Set your target nightly sleep. The hint notes "Adults typically need 7–9 hours of sleep."

11. Goal — recommended bedtime

Dreamie computes an ideal bedtime from (ideal wake-up − sleep goal) — e.g. 7:00 am − 8 h = 11:00 pm. Adjust it if you like, then continue.

12. Welcome to your sleep routine

An explainer for the nightly routine, which moves through three customizable steps (scroll to read all):

✨ Bedtime Cue	Sets ambience as bedtime nears. Starts automatically before your set bedtime.
🛏️ Wind Down	Plays content while you fall asleep. Runs for a set time, then goes to Noise Mask if enabled, or stops.
💤 Noise Mask	Steady sound that masks disruptions until your alarm.

Scrolling further reveals how to start the routine and a note that the next pages let you customize it:
