Seren is a sunrise alarm clock, bedside lamp, white-noise machine and wireless speaker in one.

It runs from a USB supply rated 5 V DC, 2 A; the cable is in the box, a mains adaptor is not.

The idea

One object. The whole bedside.

An alarm, a lamp, a sound machine and a speaker usually take up four places on the table. Seren is one, and each part works on its own.

Light first, sound second.

06:08 · Before the alarm

Light first, sound second.

Choose how long the sunrise lasts, from 1 to 60 minutes. The light comes on that many minutes ahead and brightens gradually. Then the alarm starts quietly and rises, or stays silent if you would rather wake to light alone.

Two alarms, set separately.

07:15 · A shared bedside

Two alarms, set separately.

Each alarm keeps its own time, sound, ambient light and sunrise length, so you can set one for yourself and one for someone else in the room.

22:30 · Winding down

Ten sounds, no phone.

White noise is built in, so the phone can stay out of it. Choose from ten sounds and set the volume from 0 to 30 on the unit.

A sunset you can set.

23:23 · Lights down

A sunset you can set.

Give the Sunset Sleep Timer 1 to 60 minutes, a sound, a colour and a starting brightness. The light dims in stages, and at the end light and sound switch off together.

Sunrise and sunset

A sunrise to wake you. A sunset before you sleep.

Sunrise alarm clock

A sunrise alarm wakes you with light first and sound second. Set the time you want to be up, then choose how long the sunrise lasts, from 1 to 60 minutes. Seren starts the light that many minutes ahead.

  1. 06:30 · Light only

    The sunrise begins.

    With a 07:00 alarm and a 30-minute sunrise, your chosen light, warm white or one of seven colours, comes on at 06:30 and brightens gradually. There is no sound yet.

  2. 07:00 · Alarm time

    Then the sound starts.

    It begins quietly and rises. Left alone, it rings for ten minutes and then stops by itself.

  3. Still sleepy?

    Tap the body to snooze.

    A firm tap anywhere on the casing, enough to rock it slightly. Sound and light stop and return nine minutes later. You can snooze as many times as you need.

  4. Awake

    Press any key.

    Sound and light stop for that morning.

Set it up

  1. Hold an alarm key until the hours flash.
  2. Use minus and plus to set the hours, then the minutes, pressing the alarm key after each.
  3. Choose one of ten sounds, or A-00 for no sound. Press the alarm key.
  4. Choose the ambient light: warm white or one of seven colours. Press the alarm key.
  5. Choose the sunrise length, 1 to 60 minutes. Press the alarm key to finish.

Set the clock before you set an alarm. The times above are an example. Each of the two alarms keeps its own time, sound, ambient light and sunrise length. To wake to light alone, choose A-00, no sound.

Sunset sleep timer

The Sunset Sleep Timer is the sunrise in reverse. Light and sound run down over a time you choose, from 1 to 60 minutes, and then both switch off.

  1. 22:30 · Moon key

    Press the moon.

    The moon icon shows and the timer starts with the settings it used last, so most nights one press is all it takes.

  2. 22:30 to 23:00 · Dimming

    The light steps down.

    With a 30-minute timer, the light dims in stages as the time counts down, so the room grows darker gradually.

  3. 23:00 · Timer ends

    Light and sound switch off together.

    There is nothing to reach for, and no light or sound left running.

  4. Changed your mind?

    Press the moon again.

    The icon disappears and the light and sound go off. Any other key leaves the timer and keeps you in the mode you were in.

Set it up

  1. Hold the moon key for about three seconds, until the value flashes.
  2. Use minus and plus to choose 1 to 60 minutes. Press the moon key.
  3. Choose one of ten sounds, or S-00 for no sound. Press the moon key.
  4. Choose the ambient light: warm white, one of seven colours, or C-00 for no light. Press the moon key.
  5. Choose the starting brightness, L-01 to L-30. Press the moon key to finish.

The times above are an example. Each sound plays and each colour shows as you reach it, so you choose by ear and by eye. Seren keeps your settings for next time. Sound or light can be off, but not both.

How it works

Set it on the unit. Then leave it alone.

Press the moon at night.
01

Set an alarm and its sunrise.

Hold an alarm key, then set the time, the sound, the ambient light and the length of the sunrise. Each sound plays and each colour shows as you reach it, so you choose by ear and by eye.

02

Press the moon at night.

The sleep timer starts with the settings you used last. Press again to stop it, or let it run until light and sound switch off.

The object

Meet Seren.

Warm white, whenever you want it.
A lamp in its own right

Warm white, whenever you want it.

Use it as an everyday bedside light with 30 brightness levels. It returns to the mode you last used.

Phone down. Ambient light, music on.
Winding down

Phone down. Ambient light, music on.

Choose your ambient light first: warm white or one of seven colours. Start your music, put the phone away and let it play through Seren's wireless speaker. Add a little scent from our Atmos diffuser if you like. When you are ready, press the moon key: the light dims in stages, and when the timer ends, light and music switch off.

Size24 cm

Made for a bedside.

12 cm across and 658 g. It needs one USB socket within reach.

Clock6 levels

A display you can turn down.

Six brightness levels and an off setting, adjusted apart from the lamp. Choose 12- or 24-hour time.

Power5 V / 2 A

Runs from USB.

It needs a USB supply to work and has no battery to charge. A small fitted cell only keeps the clock and settings through a power cut.

Why choose Seren

Most alarms begin with a noise. Seren begins with light, brightening gradually over the time you choose, and then adds a sound that starts quietly and rises. You can leave the sound out and wake to light alone.

The alarms, the lamp and the ten white-noise sounds all work from the unit itself, so the phone is only involved when you want your own music or podcasts.

Key features of Seren

  • Sunrise before the alarm: Choose a sunrise of 1 to 60 minutes. The light comes on that far ahead of the alarm time and brightens gradually.
  • Two independent alarms: Each has its own time, sound, ambient light and sunrise length. Choose from ten alarm sounds, or light with no sound.
  • Tap to snooze: A firm tap on the body gives you nine more minutes. A light touch does nothing.
  • Sunset Sleep Timer: Set 1 to 60 minutes, a sound, an ambient light and a starting brightness. The light dims in stages, and light and sound switch off together at the end.
  • Ten built-in white-noise sounds: They play without a phone, with volume from 0 to 30.
  • Wireless speaker: Choose AETHEO W9808 on your phone to play music and podcasts. It reconnects to the same phone by itself.
  • Warm white and seven colours: Thirty brightness levels for warm white and the single colours, plus an automatic colour cycle at a fixed brightness.
  • A clock you can dim: Six display brightness levels and an off setting, with 12- or 24-hour time. Once paired, Seren takes the time from your phone.

How Seren works

  1. Connect the supplied USB-A to USB-C cable to a 5 V DC, 2 A USB supply. Seren works on external power only.
  2. Set 12- or 24-hour time and the clock while the display flashes, or pair your phone and let it set itself.
  3. Hold an alarm key and work through the time, sound, ambient light and sunrise length.
  4. At night, press the moon key to start the Sunset Sleep Timer.

Safety and care

Indoor use only. Keep dry. Do not cover the lamp or use it under bedding. Use a CE-marked USB supply rated 5 V DC, 2 A. Unplug before cleaning and wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not open the product.

Contains a CR2032 lithium coin cell, soldered inside and not user-replaceable. It keeps the clock and settings through a power cut and does not power the lamp or speaker. Keep away from children; if a cell is swallowed, seek medical help immediately. Not a toy. Listen at moderate volume.

The full manual, in seven languages, is on the Seren manual page.

FAQ

Questions about Seren.

Still unsure? Email support@aetheo.co.uk or call +44 7391 851971.

What does the Aetheo Seren do?

Seren is a bedside sunrise alarm clock, lamp, white-noise machine and wireless speaker. The light brightens over 1 to 60 minutes before your alarm, and a Sunset Sleep Timer dims the light in stages before light and sound switch off.

Does Seren come with a plug?

No. The box has a USB-A to USB-C cable but no mains adaptor. Use a CE-marked USB supply rated 5 V DC, 2 A.

Does it run on batteries?

No. Seren works on external USB power only. A fitted CR2032 coin cell keeps the clock and settings through a power cut, but it does not power the lamp or speaker and cannot be replaced by the user.

Can I wake up to light without any sound?

Yes. Set the alarm sound to none and keep a light on. An alarm cannot have both its sound and its light switched off.

Do I need my phone?

Only for your own music or podcasts. The alarms, lamp, sleep timer and ten white-noise sounds all work from the unit. If you pair a phone, Seren also takes the time from it.

Is there an app, or does it work with voice assistants?

No. Seren is set up with the keys on the unit, and has no app or voice-assistant control.

How does the snooze work?

Tap the body firmly, enough to rock it slightly. Sound and light stop and return nine minutes later, and you can snooze as often as you like. A light touch will not trigger it.

What happens at the end of the Sunset Sleep Timer?

The light dims in stages as the timer counts down, and at the end light and sound switch off together.

How big is it?

Seren is 12.03 cm in diameter, 23.99 cm high and weighs 658 g.

How much is delivery, and can I return it?

Delivery is free on every UK order. If it is not right for you, you can return it within 30 days.
