1. A method comprising:
- determining, at a first central controller of a first air mattress system, that a mattress of the first air mattress system does not have a user present, wherein the first central controller of the first air mattress system is configured to communicate with elements of the first air mattress system to facilitate function of the first air mattress system, wherein a second air mattress system comprises a second central controller of the second air mattress system, wherein the second central controller of the second air mattress system is configured to communicate with elements of the second air mattress system to facilitate function of the second air mattress system, wherein the first central controller of the first air mattress system is configured to communicate via one or more communication networks to transmit and receive instructions, wherein the second central controller of the second air mattress system is configured to communicate via one or more communication networks to transmit and receive instructions;
responsive to determining that the mattress of the first air mattress system does not have a user present, generating, at the first central controller of the first air mattress system, an instruction to adjust a feature of a component of a second air mattress system that is remote from the first air mattress system;
transmitting, on a communication network by the first central controller of a first air mattress system, the instruction to adjust the feature of the component of the second air mattress system such that the instruction is routed to the second central controller of the second air mattress system; and
adjusting, by the second central controller, responsive to receiving the instruction, the feature of the component of the second air mattress system such that the user of the second air mattress system is awakened by the adjustment of the feature of the component of the second air mattress system in response to the first central controller determining that the first air mattress does not have a user present.

Abstract
This disclosure describes, among other things, techniques for waking a user by changing the user'"'"'s sleep environment. In one example, a method includes receiving, at a central controller of an air mattress system, at least one user alarm setting, generating, via the central controller, at least one instruction based on the received user alarm setting, and transmitting, from the central controller, the at least one instruction to a first component of the air mattress system to adjust a feature of the first component.
