Nova Room · Founders Batch · 50 units

Log your baby’s sleep without touching your phone.

Moon when they fall asleep. Sun when they wake up. One press and it’s in the Nova app. It keeps an eye on the room’s temperature, humidity and light, too.

Nova Room: a small ivory tile with a moon key above a sun key, and a grille for its sensors

At 3am you’re holding a baby. Not your phone.

  1. You unlock it. The screen lights up the room. The baby stirs.

  2. Or you skip it. By morning nobody remembers when they went down.

  3. Gaps in the log mean worse sleep windows. One more thing to remember, on no sleep.

So we took the two buttons you press most and put them on the shelf.

How it works

One press. Logged.

  1. A finger pressing the moon key on Nova Room

    01

    Press the moon when they fall asleep.

    Nova starts the sleep timer. One dim red blink tells you it’s saved.

  2. A finger pressing the sun key on Nova Room

    02

    Press the sun when they wake up.

    The sleep ends in your log. Two blinks this time.

  3. Nova Room on a shelf beside the Nova Baby app

    03

    It’s in Nova in seconds.

    Same log, same sleep windows, same app you already use. Nothing new to learn.

Pressed the wrong one? Hold both keys for 2 seconds. Undone.

Wi-Fi dropped? It remembers up to 4,096 presses and catches up when it’s back.

Not your phone? Grandparents, the night nanny, your partner. They don’t need the app. They need a button.

Inside Nova Room

Small on the outside.

52 × 68 × 11 mm. Smaller than a credit card.

Two keys. That’s the whole interface.

The moon and the sun are one capsule, split in half. Each half clicks a real switch.

36 parts. Every one has a job.

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. A temperature and humidity sensor. A light sensor. Nothing that records sound or video.

Then it all folds back up.

Five hidden snaps hold the case shut. No screws, no batteries.

Plug it in. Put it on a shelf. Done.

USB-C power, always on. Set up from the Nova app in about a minute.

And the room

Check the room without opening the door.

Behind the dotted grille sit two sensors in their own little chamber, away from the electronics’ warmth. Their readings show live in Nova, so you can check from the sofa.

Temperature
Sensirion SHT40, rated ±0.2 °C (typical)
Humidity
Same sensor, rated ±1.8 % RH (typical)
Light
LTR-329 light sensor. It also dims the blink in a dark room.

The Lullaby Trust suggests 16–20 °C for a baby’s room (their guidance). A room reading is not your baby’s temperature.

Good questions.

Is this a baby monitor?

No. Nova Room does not watch, listen to or measure your baby. It is not a medical device and it is not a safety alarm. It logs the sleep you tell it about and reports the room. Keep following safe sleep advice and checking on your baby as you do now.

Do I need a subscription?

No. One-press logging and room readings work with the free Nova Baby app. Nova Plus is optional and separate.

Does it work with Android?

Not yet. Nova Baby is an iPhone app, so Nova Room needs an iPhone with iOS 26 or later for setup.

When will it arrive?

It ships within 6 weeks of your order. We email you when it’s on the way. If we miss that window, we refund you in full without you having to ask.

Do you ship outside the UK?

Not yet. Nova Room ships to UK addresses only for now: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Outside the UK? Email hello@getnovababy.com and we’ll tell you when we ship to you.

What if my Wi-Fi goes down?

Keep pressing. Every press is saved on the device first and blinks only once it’s stored. It holds up to 4,096 presses and sends them to Nova when the Wi-Fi is back.

Where should it go?

On a shelf or a wall you can reach, out of your baby’s reach, away from the cot, radiators and direct sun. Keep the cable out of reach too. It’s a small electronic device, not a toy.

Can more than one person use it?

That’s the point. Anyone in the room can press a key, and it lands in the Nova log for that baby. Only the person who sets it up needs the app.

What does the guarantee actually mean?

You have 30 nights from delivery. Email us and we send a prepaid return label, then refund the full price once it’s back. On top of that, the law gives you 14 days to cancel any online order. Details in our returns policy.

Who makes it?

Studio Next Ltd, the small team behind the Nova Baby app. We designed the board, the case and the firmware ourselves. Questions go to hello@getnovababy.com and a person answers.

Two keys. No more 3am phone.
