Abstract
A bed has a mattress. A sensor is configured to sense sleep readings of a user sleeping on the bed. An automation controller is configured to transmit the sleep readings to a cloud service. Hardware hosting the cloud service is configured to compare the sleep readings with trend data in order to generate adjustments to the user's sleep environment.

A system comprising:
- a bed having a mattress;
- a sensor configured to sense sleep readings of a user sleeping on the bed;
- an automation controller configured to transmit the sleep readings to a cloud service, wherein the cloud service is further configured to transmit the adjustments to the automation controller, wherein the automation controller is further configured to, responsive to receiving the adjustments, determine if the user is in the bed;
- hardware hosting the cloud service configured to compare the sleep readings with trend data in order to generate adjustments to the user's sleep environment and after determining that the user is not in the bed, provide information to the user via a GUI based on the adjustments.
