Prerequisites

Install eightctl:

Or use the Python library directly:

pip install pyeight

# Or create ~/.config/eightctl/config.yml

Requires an Eight Sleep account and active Pod subscription.

Rules

• Check if CLI is installed first: which eightctl || python3 -c "import pyeight" 2>/dev/null
• If not installed, show pip install command and stop
• If credentials not set, instruct user to set EIGHT_USER and EIGHT_PASS environment variables
• Temperature level is -100 to +100, NOT degrees Celsius/Fahrenheit — clarify if user asks "set to 25 degrees"
• Side values: left, right, or both
• If device is not online, suggest checking WiFi connection of the Pod
• Keep responses concise: report what was set and current status
