How to get root access to your Sleep Number bed


A guide to gaining root access to your Sleep Number bed hub and setting up a local network control and monitoring server.

Regardless of if you choose to follow this guide or are just reading for fun, I highly recommend you disconnect the wifi on your hub and only use bluetooth controls as much as possible. That being said, for those willing to do a little hardware work, setting up local network access is straightforward, and the rest of this post will detail the steps you need to follow to do so on your own hub. While extremely old (keep in mind the Hub appears to have been last updated in 2018), it includes the simpleHTTPServer package, which will give us all the capability we need to remotely control and monitor the bed over the local network.
