WITTI Design BEDDI - Smart Radio Alarm Clock Speaker with Smart Home Integration - Black

I was humming and haaahing for quite a while with regards to this Witti beddi device, reading reviews, watching youtube videos trying to decide whether to take a risk.I decided to buy 2 whilst reduced on Amazon, 1 for myself and one for my daughter.Well they arrived in nice boxes, and very well packaged and the thing that surprised me was that they were actually smaller than i had envisaged, which is good, because i wondered how it would go on my bedside cabinet, with my Teckin lamp i had bought just from Amazon as well.I downloaded app from Apple store called Beddi. Installed this no problem and then when turning on the Beddi it wanted to pair on bluetooth straight away which i did, then you are taken through a setup routine where you can link services such as Spotify, Philips Hue, Nest, Lifx, Wemo, Uber and homekit.I actually linked Philips Hue as i have these in my lounge to test, and it linked to my account and enabled me to change light colours.You can link actions to one of 3 smart buttons on the beddi, each one has 3 modes so 9 things you could do in total at the press of a button.I wont really use these at the moment as my hue is in my lounge, but the beauty is you can link action to your alarms, so say for example you had Hue in your room you could get it to turn on when your alarm goes off, or the wemo is a smart plug so that could turn something on that is plugged into the wemo switch.I havent got any other things at the moment so i cant comment on those, but the function is there if you need it.The Beddi has 2 usb charging ports that you could plug say your mobile phone in, and there is a holder in the top of the clock that you can place your phone in.I do and the the screen orients itself to the correct way and you can display weather conditions, traffic etc, so when your alarm goes off it is on the screen to see weather forecast, it can actually speak these, but i dont fancy that when i first wake.oh, and you can set the lights on the bottom of the beddi to come on, and there is a wakeup light at the back as well that you can use to slowly turn on before the alarm.There is a normal beep or you can have the radio, which i forgot to mention, or a relax sound or it can play from your apple music, which i do have, or spotify which i dont.There is a white noise generator which has some preloaded, or extras you can download (free), which includes Wind, Forest, Rain, Ocean, Fan, Waterfall, Train and so on. There is a timer function as well so you can set it different times, up to an hour and then it will switch the noise off, or say music if you were listening to that.It plays bluetooth nicely from my iphone, but there is a line in as well for non bluetooth devices.All in all i am very pleased with my purchase, and my daughter (16 yrs old) loves hers as well.At first the thing seems a bit daunting with all the buttons and options thinking it is a bit complicated, but its like my car when i first got it trying to learn what on earth all the buttons and functions are, but you very quickly get used to it and its not complicated at all. (the car and the beddi).I am impressed, like i say, and there are quite a few other devices that Witti make that i would like to try out, and if i was disappointed with these then i really wouldnt bother, so that is a good thing.

I love this product, its got great sound quality and the light is really beautiful. It has the fabulous extra feature of the smart button which can play your spotify playlists at just the click of a button, please note though in order to connect this you have to have spotify premium. You can connect your bluetooth and just play spotify manually on your phone though also. The bluetooth connects automatically sotheres no hassle connecting it up. The white noise available is really good, with nice sounds. There is a sleep function too which is really useful. The only critisms I have are that sometimes it can be a little temperamental, some of the functions can not work the first time you press them. And its a disspointing that a radio this expensive doesn't have dab radio, the fm radio isnt brilliant...I do love the weather forecast function in the morning when we wake up, it can be really useful. The alarm is reliable also, means i dont have to worry about my phone not going off.

What disappoints me the most is that the smart buttons on th clock only work with my Phillips Hue when my phone is connected via Bluetooth and then the App is running. As I bought this for that purpose, it does limit the ease of use a bit. Think it could benefit from built in Wi-Fi as well and TuneIn for internet Radio. But otherwise not bad. Think Generation 2 would be the one to get. Also FM radio only shows frequency and not station names on th App. At that price I would hav hoped RDS was possible. Just a few niggly bits but otherwise better than anything else in the market.

The "sunrise" wake-up light is really no such thing. Rather than coming on gradually, as all other alarm clocks like this do, it takes around a minute to reach full brightness.For days where I want to snooze for longer, the fact the alarm stops sounding after a maximum of an hour is really annoying.Another issue with it behaving unlike other, similar alarm clocks is that hitting the snooze button to check the time in during the night doesn't show it for a few seconds then turn off again, but simply cycle through the brightness settings, requiring you to press it another three times.Being able to play music from whatever service you like as an alarm is great, though I probably wouldn't bother if I didn't have a spare phone to leave connected as the auto-connect doesn't seem to be reliable.It's also not the best looking thing, but that's a very minor concern.

The Beddi style smart alarm clock is amazing value for what you get.I found the set up easy and the app downloaded without any issues.There are a number of options for lighting ,sound and the weather.I can operate the clock from another room and it connected immediately to Bluetooth.There are no instructions in the box ,you have to download the app to operate it.So far so good .

At the beginning I really loved this clock. I wanted a sunrise alarm clock, needed a speaker and this did both. Unfortunately over time it became very unreliable, I've had it well over a year now. Some mornings I click the snooze button and it does go on snooze but the alarm doesn't go off again. Also it can struggle to reconnect to my phone all of a sudden when I'm checking my alarms. Only way to fix these problems is to unplug it and plug it in again. Luckily others in my house have woken me up before it got too late but due to these issues it doesn't function as it's main purpose, an alarm clock.

Great speaker and alarm, only two alarm options though, beep or a nice tune. You can use Bluetooth to play your own music for the alarm though. No annoying voice announcing Bluetooth is enabled etc which is a good bonus! The app is good. I had a query for the manufacturer Witti and their customer service was excellent.

It’s good but takes a bit of getting used to and the weather/traffic update is too weird so turned it off. My in laws had to switch it off when I was away because they couldn’t figure out how to turn the alarm off when they were house sitting
