SleepIQ technology is the operating system of a smart bed which uses sensors to track your sleep. The SleepIQ app pairs with your bed via Bluetooth and requires location services to be enabled on your device. This is because SleepIQ technology is a browserless device and is therefore not directly compatible with captive portal networks. Captive portal networks are common in coffee shops and hotels and require you to sign in on a web page before connecting a device to the internet. This is because captive portal networks are a type of public network that requires users to view and interact with a webpage before they can access the network. This may involve reading and accepting an acceptable use policy, clicking through or closing ads, or entering a username and password.
