How to set up the Idem Clock?

We made the set up very easy for caregivers!

  1. Download the Idem companion app on a phone and/or tablet (available for android and iOS) and create your account.

  2. Plug the Idem clock into an electrical outlet (and connect the clock to the Wi-Fi (no Wi-Fi set up needed if using the 3G connected clock).

  3. Link the clock to your Idem companion app by entering the provided activation code.

  4. Introduce the clock to your loved one. (Read Idem’s tips!)


How to connect your clock to the internet? Two options are available.

The Idem clock can be connected to the Internet either by:

  • Connecting the clock to a private Wi-Fi network (no subscription required).
  • Or by opting for a monthly ($9/month) or annual ($99/year - save $10) subscription to the mobile connection offered by Idem (The SIM card is already included and installed).

You can choose to opt-in or cancel your subscription at any time. After receiving the clock, you will be prompted to select your connectivity preference from the Idem companion app.

* The Idem clock does not function when connected to a public Wi-Fi network. Public Wi-Fi networks are commonly found in hotels and are identifiable by the requirement for entering a password or room number in a separate window from the device's Wi-Fi settings. Public Wi-Fi networks provide occasional internet access for visitors, but they are not suitable for the use of a connected object like the Idem clock. In this case, we recommend subscribing to the mobile connectivity service offered by Idem.

It is enabling them to remain living in their own home for longer. And please pass along to the development team that they did a great job on the user interface. It is so easy for me to add and change things in the App, very intuitive. Thank you again!
