![]() We have it at the lowest setting and it's perfect! Not too bright at all we also don't rely on the clock throughout the day but even when we glance at it on a bright sunny day (curtains & shades wide open), we can still see those dim numbers and don't feel the need to adjust the brightness at all. Contrary to other reviews, you are able to fully turn off the clock if needed you can also dim the light. Digital Clock: Love this! We'd accidentally fall asleep with our kiddo and wake up not know how long we were in the room or how much time has passed we'd also get super involved in books or songs that we'd stay in our bedtime routine for too long so this has helped immensely in being better with our own time management. Rest+ has battery! Major plus! We've been in situation with a power outage or our outlet giving out leaving us without our trusted Rest, so def props on this new design! Love that the volume and light buttons are at the back of the device (for reference, the previous model had the off, brightness, & volume buttons underneath making it difficult to adjust if you also had the coverlets for it). Design: Love that the top ring is now the off button with a simple long-press. At this point we have the routine completely automated so there is not much need for me to go into the app for any reason other than set the timer. When the light turns green, he happily runs out of his room straight for breakfast singing that the light is green & its time to wake up. (Prior to this he was waking up at 6am everyday). Our kiddo usually sees the red light, will go pee and go back to bed and sleep some more or stay in bed until the light turns green. At 9am, the sound turns off and the light turns a bright green. At 5am, the same sound & volume remain, but we added a red low light to show that its not time to wake up. ![]() Programs: Our motto for anything is to keep it simple! We have the soundscape & no light turn on at 6:30pm to signify the start of our bedtime routine. When our kiddo was a baby we'd keep the favorite settings for nap time so we can quickly turn it on our routine wasn't set in stone then, so our cycling through the favorite settings were our go-to! We tend to keep the same sound (wind) and have one setting to turn on (warm white light) in case we need to go into his room for any reason, but the sound remains the same to signify its still bed time which is helpful. Favorites: For our purposes we have 3 favorite settings. It also SUPER helps with the "is it time yet?" questions. Timer: We love having a timer feature to count down to how long until we go outside, how long until lunch/dinner time, or whatever it is we're doing that day and we need our kiddo to be patient. We typically don't use the "Hold to Talk" button unless absolutely necessary, but so far no issues. ![]() ![]() So although the monitor doesn't filter out its own soundscape, it's not impossible to hear what is going on in our kid's room. ![]() Monitor: We keep the Hatch Rest on my kiddo's night-table & on toddler mode so he can't change the settings. Our 3 year old has been sleep trained with this I love how customizable it is and you can add a light +/- sound for any time of day. In total, we've had Rest for 2 years now. I got the original rest & then upgraded to this one because we really wanted to have the clock feature and the volume buttons on the back vs. ![]()
