This page shows you the baby stats tracks/counts per day, it's a summary of the diapers/feedings you have tracked. When you first open Baby Stats you won't see any data since you haven't tracked anything yet. Once you click one of the buttons to track a stat in, you can see each individual baby stats count. As soon as you press a button the baby stats count will be tracked and be able to be seen on any device (Android, Alexa etc..).
On the main page you have multiple options in the "..." on the top right of the baby stats main screen. One of the options is the "Counts" page to view each individual baby stats count you have tracked. These counts will be tracked on all devices.
Baby Stats lets you share your babies counts so they can be tracked on all of your devices. Use the ID generated on the Baby Stats mobile apps, or the Alexa skill, to link the devices together.
The Baby Stats Alexa skill makes it really easy to track baby stats at home, with just your voice. Say Alexa, ask baby stats to add poop and it will sync across any device using the same ID. Make sure to say Alexa, ask baby stats to get ID, and enter the ID into your mobile app.
The Baby Stats online viewer can be used to supplement your Alexa Skill, or for use on your computer.
The online viewer and the mobile apps for Baby Stats are intended mostly as a way to view/track stats in conjunction with an AI assistant. If you want to use the mobile app as a stand alone application without voice, you are welcome to, just click the button below that says "Generate an ID for me" and one will be created for you.
When you use Baby Stats each device/account on the AI assistant is assigned a unique ID. Think of this ID as your account username, except it's auto generated by Baby Stats so it contains no personal information. The reason for auto generating an ID instead of asking you for a username is for your privacy. We are serious about your privacy and we will never store anything from you that would be considered private.
If you want to share one account with other devices or other platforms, you can Set the ID of whatever device you are using. This allows you to track your stats on any device using the same account.
Step 1: Identify which device is your "master" device, and copy the ID, for that device.
Step 2: Take that ID and set it by entering it in the textbox and click Load.
The online viewer and the mobile apps for Baby Stats are intended mostly as a way to view/track stats in conjunction with an AI assistant (Google, Cortana, Alexa etc...). If you want to use the mobile app as a stand alone application without voice, you are welcome to, just click the button below that says "Generate an ID for me".

If you want to share one account with other devices or other platforms, you can Set the ID of whatever device you are using. This allows you to track your stats on any device using the same account. You could track stats on Alexa at home, Google Assistant on the go, or Cortana if you're browsing the web. You can link all those accounts by:
Step 1: Identify which device is your "master" device, and ask Baby Stats to get ID, for that device.
Step 2: Take that ID and set it on any other device by saying, ask baby stats to set ID {the ID numbers in sequence} (so if the ID was 12345 you'd say "one two three four five")
NOTE: There is a confirmation and easy way to restore the old ID. Don't be afraid of messing it up, it may take a couple tries as you have to speak quickly. If the platform allows for typing that is recommended/easier.
Below is a picture showing you how to share data.
You can now count stats with multiple babies on Baby Stats. Enter your ID below, then follow the steps to convert your account to allow multiple babies. NOTE: If you do not need to use multiple babies, there's no reason to do this. Just skip this step.
When you configure for multiple babies, each baby will get their own unique ID/account that can be used independently, or can be used from you main master ID/account. In the mobile app and online viewer it will allow you to toggle between them.
In most cases you should not need to care about the baby's ID, as you can track against any baby using your main account.
Now that you understand the way your account is linked to the baby's account. Below is an explanation of the fields specific to multiple babies.
1. Spoken Name allows you to nickname the baby. Baby Stats will use fuzzy matching to try to find the correct baby based on what you have said, but in case your baby has a name that is difficult for Alexa/Google to understand you can use this field to specify what Alexa/Google should be listening for instead of the actual name (or maybe a nickname that Alexa/Google do understand.)
2. Display name is what is displayed and repeated back to you.
3. ID is auto generated for the baby. This is similar to your ID, it can be treated as a specific account on it's own if you need/want to.
4. Is Default is a way to track stats without specifying the name of the baby. If you do not specify a name, it will track stats against this baby.
Ok. Now that you know the basics. How do you do it?
Below you will see a button which allows you to convert your account to allow for multiple babys. Once you have done that the Online Viewer will show you all your babies and allow you to manage them.
The basic outline is you say "for {spoken name}" at the end of any of the normal phrases.
You can now integrate directly with IFTTT. You can configure which stats you subscribe to and everytime that stat is triggered you can have it kick off some action on IFTTT. Want to have it log a stat every time to Google Drive? Want to start tracking sleep every time you turn off the lights in the babies room? Maybe you just want to change the light color everytime you change a diaper? The power is in your hands.
1. Enter your ID below, then click Load ID Information
2. Next enter your IFTTT key. If you have previously subscribed it would have auto populated when you clicked Load ID Information. Help finding your IFTTT key
3. Next, highlight the events on the left and click Add Subscription for all of the subscriptions you want IFTTT to listen for.
4. Now save your subscriptions. This will update Baby Stats with the events you want IFTTT to know about. Next you will need to configure IFTTT.
5. Navigate to IFTTT and click on "New Applet".
6. Select "Webhooks" and Receive a web request.
7. Enter the event name of one of the subscriptions you subscribed to above.
8. Choose your "action", in this example you'll see how to create a Google Sheets.
9. You should be good to go now!
To find your key login to IFTTT and navigate to Webhooks and click on Settings.
You will see a URL. You can copy the whole URL and paste it into the text box, we will strip out all the URL parts for you.
NOTE: Be aware, if you use this with the other IFTTT integration, you could get yourself into an infinite loop of funness.
We have opened up a public API that can be used by your own home automation projects, or can be used by IFTTT web hooks. In order to use this API, click the button below to generate an "accessToken". This token needs to be supplied with every request or we will reject your request. Ensure you save this token for use later.
If you are not technical, don't worry below that will show you how to get the data into IFTTT. Just fill in the "YOUR ACCESSS TOKEN GOES HERE" (if you don't have an access token click Generate Access Token) and enter your ID in the "YOUR ID GOES HERE".
Toggle the drop down below to see the Body data required for each request type.
In order to use our public API with IFTTT follow these steps. If you are not planning on using IFTTT you can skip lower.
