Title: Smart Beds Malfunctioned During AWS Outage

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/10/22/1347...

Early Monday, an Amazon Web Services outage disrupted banks, games, and
Peloton classes. Eight Sleep customers faced a different problem. Their
internet-enabled mattresses malfunctioned. People woke to beds locked in
upright positions, excessive heat, flashing lights, and unexpected alarms.
Matteo Franceschetti, the company's chief executive, apologized and said
engineers were building an outage-proof mode. By Monday evening, all devices
functioned again, though some experienced data processing delays. The
mattresses adjust temperature between 55 and 110 degrees and elevate bodies
into different positions. They activate soundscapes and vibrational alarms.
The advanced models cost over $5,000. A yearly subscription of $199 to $399
is required for temperature controls.
