Pacif-i Smart Baby Pacifier for Android
With a temperature sensor built into the pacifier’s silicon teat, Pacif-i transmits temperature data via Bluetooth Smart (sometimes referred to as Bluetooth 4.0 or Bluetooth Low Energy) to a free app on an iOS or Android smartphone or tablet. The app determines when the temperature is the most accurate and then time-stamps and plots the temperature data in a graph. Via the app, parents can record when medication was administered, set-up alerts/ reminders and share the data with carers and medical professionals.
Pacif-i also features an in-built proximity sensor that allows parents to monitor the pacifier’s location and so be alerted when their child wanders off. Within the app, parents can set the distance, up to a range of 20 metres, for the alarm to be triggered when this is breached.
The pacifier also features a buzzer alarm that can be activated via the smartphone when it has been misplaced or hidden by a child.
The app isn't intuitive and the instructions with the pacifier are unclear. The 'show' button on the screen where you record a temperature seems to be a bar across the bottom of the screen so when you push 'start' to get a temperature reading, the screen goes in to 'hide' mode. Unfortunately, the pacifier itself seems to have been designed by someone without kids. There's nothing to attach it to a dummy clip and the material that the pacifier itself is made of is hard and not malleable. What a shame.
Useless as it keeps crashing once linked.

I have two Pacif-i smart pacifiers, but so far have only tried one because I can't get the app to record a temperature. The start button turns dark blue, but seems to be disabled. Disappointing, I really want to love this product!
