Wellue SleepU question - richapple - 08-05-2024
I have the SleepU from Wellue and it seems to work well and give me the info I need. Does anyone else who has this device know how to (or if it’s even possible to)
1. Dim the brightness of the wrist-bound display that comes on temporarily via turning your arm?
2. Switch the display so it’s oriented for the right wrist/hand? (seems to assume left hand use, leaving the display upside down when worn on the right arm)
The only controls seem to be via the ViHealth App for iOS, and those settings aren’t available there.
thx

I have the SleepU oximeter. Great little basic oximeter for the money (value) IMO.
1. put a band aid over the front of the screen and tape it to the back. Or just tape something (gauze cut out, etc.) over the front of the screen to block the light.
2. You could try turning it upside down when wearing it on the right hand, but the little wire would have to be long enough to stretch the finger sensor enough to the correct finger. I don't think they have longer cords. Only this length. *I just tried this and it does work, but it bends the wire a lot almost 180 degrees on itself (hopefully wouldn't break it or cause faulty readings?) I just have the display upside down when using it on my right hand.
I hope this helps.
