Sleepytroll is designed with your baby’s well-being in mind. That’s why it includes a built-in safety feature to ensure your baby receives the attention they may need — especially if restlessness continues over a longer period of time.
Below you’ll find an overview of how Sensor Mode works for both Gen 1 and Gen 2 Baby Rockers:
💡 What is Sensor Mode?
Sensor Mode allows your Sleepytroll to rock only when it detects sound or movement. This helps preserve battery life and ensures your baby is rocked only when necessary — not continuously.

-
When motion or sound is detected, the Sleepytroll rocks for 3 minutes.
-
It then pauses until motion or sound is detected again.
-
In the Sleepytroll app, you can activate Sensor Mode for up to 8 hours.
-
If the sensor is activated 20 times during those 8 hours, the rocker will automatically shut off.
👉 This is a safety feature to ensure that if your baby is frequently unsettled, you are alerted to offer comfort beyond gentle rocking.

-
When motion or sound is detected, it rocks for 3 minutes, then stops.
-
Sensor Mode stays active for up to 70 minutes.
-
If the sensor is triggered 20 times within this window, the unit will shut off automatically.
🔧 Adjusting Sensitivity
To get the best experience using Sensor Mode, we recommend adjusting the sound and movement sensitivity based on your surroundings:
-
Gen 2: Sensitivity can be adjusted both on the device and in the Sleepytroll app.
-
Gen 1: Sensitivity can be adjusted manually using the buttons on the device.

We suggest starting with a lower sensitivity and adjusting as needed based on your baby's sleep space.
💤 Why does Sleepytroll turn off?
If Sensor Mode is triggered too many times in a short period, Sleepytroll will automatically turn off. This is to signal that your baby may need more than just rocking — such as a diaper change, feeding, or a comforting cuddle.
