Change device settings for Health & Welfare

This article summarizes how to change device settings in the Somnofy portal at health.somnofy.com

Device settings apply to changes on the physical Somnofy unit installed in a healthcare institution or set up at the home of a service recipient.

After logging in with a username and password on health.somnofy.com, click Administration in the top menu.

On the left side, select the institution level where the device is located. Then, find the device for which you wish to change settings.

Change the name of the device

Under Name, fill in the field with the desired name. We would recommend that you use the room number where the device is located.

Which Subject is measured

Under Subject, click the small arrow. Select the correct recipient to be measured. Note that this user must already be created if a new recipient is to be measured. If you are unsure how to create a new recipient, check our article.

Change the maximum distance


It is recommended to set this to the edge of the bed so that the entire body of the recipient can be measured, but the area outside the bed is limited.

Additional settings apply if sleep monitoring is to be disabled (link with a separate article), display brightness, whether it should not be turned off completely (at the recipient’s request), and whether the device can make sounds.

The same device settings can also be changed in the Somnofy Connect app during installation.


You can also establish a WiFi connection, which is necessary to change settings on health.somnofy.com
