ASTI LectroFan Kinder sings soothing sounds that serenade you to sleep

By Karl Utermohlen Published February 16, 2021

Sleep problems are common, with one in three people reporting that they suffer from at least mild insomnia, according to the Sleep Health Foundation. Tech wizards have tried for years to create a device capable of replicating the sounds of nature to help people sleep. Adaptive Sound Technologies Inc. is the latest firm to take a crack at solving the problem.

The company specializes in creating sleep-sound machines, and its most advanced product to date is the LectroFan Kinder. The device is a nightlight that offers sounds ranging from white noise to nature sounds and lullabies.

One of the main reasons we suffer from insomnia arises from our technology addictions. ASTI’s latest device attempts to bring some elements of nature into our homes to ease our minds after a long day online.

“LectroFan Kinder is the latest in our line of bestselling LectroFan and Sound+Sleep devices, [and] is precisely engineered to create a sleep-friendly environment for children and parents,” said Sam Nicolino, president and CEO of ASTI.

The plug-in sound and light machine is designed to fit into any bedroom decor. It offers a variety of lights to choose from, including a soft light and a night light to help both children and adults sleep.

The sound machine in the LectroFan Kinder includes a range of lullabies and an array of non-looping nature sounds. The sounds were recorded naturally, and the sound quality is higher than any previous ASTI product. The iOS and Android stores offer a free LectroFan app that allows you to alter your sound and light settings from any room in the house.

“Without adequate sleep, children can suffer negative physical, mental, and emotional consequences as they continue to develop. If a child is not sleeping well, the parents are also not sleeping well,” Nicolino said. The LectroFan Kinder is selling for $80.

The LectroFan Kinder joins other companies that have been seeking to improve your sleep. An MIT radio can monitor your quality of sleep, and an Infani baby monitor keeps track of your baby’s sleeping activity. Also, check out our list of the best sleep gadgets.

Eve has launched a variety of smart home gadgets over the years, including a smart plug, energy strip, and indoor camera. The company is now planning to launch its first smart light switch with dimmer functionality in March -- and with support for Matter, voice commands, and remote access, it’s looking like a solid choice for discerning shoppers.

The Eve Dimmer Switch will be one of the most expensive options on the market, carrying a price tag of $50. However, you’re getting a lot of great features for your investment. This includes Matter-over-Thread support, a premium button/rocker dimmer design for enhanced control, and the ability to sync it with Siri, Google Assistant, or Alexa to unlock voice commands. You’re also getting the ability to dim your lights, a feature missing from many other smart switches.

A smarter Alexa? Sign me up

To say that folks have misgivings about AI is probably an understatement. From long-term fears over what the technology might do as it acquires more power and more capability, to the immediate concerns of those in creative roles who see themselves as unpaid trainers of AI models (and their first professional victims), there is no shortage of legitimate criticisms. And as someone who writes words for a living, I’m painfully and frighteningly aware that AI represents a clear and present danger to my income.

But if my smart speakers can finally turn into something more useful than a voice-activated egg timer -- as Amazon has promised with its new AI-driven Alexa+ -- I consider that a silver lining to the oncoming AI apocalypse, not something to be avoided.
From gimmick to magic
Like a lot of you, I was less than blown away by Siri when Apple debuted its voice assistant on the iPhone 4S. There was a novelty to it, for sure, and I know some folks who, to this day get genuine utility from being able to create reminders, respond to text messages, and place calls with their voice. But as someone who seldom drives (and who would rather die than be overheard barking commands into their phone in public), Siri felt like a gimmick.
