What is Dream Sock?
The Sensor captures readings from the child’s foot to track Pulse Rate, Oxygen Saturation, movement, and sleep. The Sensor connects and sends data to the Base Station, and the Base Station sends data to your mobile device via the Owlet Dream App. The App also provides tips and developmental insights. The Base Station indicates notifications as needed based on the data sent from the Sensor.
How the Owlet Dream App Works
Connect to Wi-Fi: The Base Station sends information to the Owlet cloud via Wi-Fi and displays this data in the Owlet Dream App. This enables real-time readings and notifications in the App from anywhere. The Base Station will indicate whether or not the Sensor is connected to Wi-Fi.
BLE:
The Sensor and the Base Station communicate via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) This communication is handled automatically, and no additional hardware is required.

Base Station Overview
The Base Station is a central component of Dream Sock. It communicates with the Sensor to obtain data. The Base Station logs and monitors the baby’s data and determines when to send notifications. The Base Station also relays baby’s information to the Owlet Server and the Owlet Dream App so Caregivers can see the information on their mobile devices.
Base Station Features
Sock/Sensor Light
Indicates that the Base Station is communicating properly with the Sensor.
Wi-Fi Light
Indicates that the Base Station is connected to Wi-Fi.
Base Station Button:
Turn on/off Base Station
(Long press top of Base Station)
Silence/Resume audible notifications
(Short, single press)
Base Station Notification Indicators
The Base Station notifies you with lights and sounds to inform you of the baby’s status.
Base Station Backup Battery
The Base Station has a built-in backup battery which is designed to alert the Caregiver that the main power has been lost while monitoring. Restore power to the Base Station to resume monitoring. If power is not restored, the system will power off after 2 minutes.
- Notification settings will not be reset by power loss and once power is restored, notifications will resume according to your settings.
- The backup battery charges automatically when the Base Station is plugged in.
- The Base Station will not notify during a power loss if it is already turned off or if the Sensor is charging.
Sensor
The Sensor has light emitters and a detector that measures Pulse Rate, Oxygen Saturation, and movement. This data is sent to the Base Station via Bluetooth.
For the Sensor to function properly, it is positioned and held in a specific location on the foot by the Sock.
NOTE: Pairing associates a Base Station and a new Sensor. If the Sensor is replaced, you will need to repeat the pairing process to pair the new Sensor to the Base Station. Contact Customer Support for assistance.
Sensor Features
The Sensor has a dome-shaped body with the Owlet logo on it. Attached to the Sensor is a flexible fabric strip with the light emitters and detector. This flexible fabric portion curves around the baby’s foot, placing the light emitters opposite the detector.
Measurement Light Emitter
Shines LED light through the foot to allow the Sensor to receive accurate readings.
Measurement Light Detector
Collects readings.
Sensor Dome/Magnetic Charging
Connects to the Base Station for charging.
Sock Notch
Aids alignment of the sensor to the Sock.
Sensor Battery
The Sensor is powered using a non-replaceable rechargeable battery. The Sensor has up to a 16-hour battery life (when new) and uses convenient drop-and-go charging for an 8-hour charge in just 20 minutes, and a full 16-hour charge in only 90 minutes. It is recommended to charge the Sensor at least once a day when Dream Sock is being used.
Sock
The soft, washable Sock is used to hold the Sensor to the baby’s foot in just the right location. The Sock has a location for the Sensor to be inserted. The hole in the sock stretches over the Sensor dome. The Sock also has a notch which should align with the notch in the Sensor. The Sock notch is also used to properly align the Sock to the pinky toe of the foot. Hook and loop fastener straps on the Sock are used to secure the Sock to the baby’s foot.
CAUTION. Always ensure that the Sock with Sensor is placed correctly on the baby’s foot. Poor Sock placement may affect performance.
