Installing the Ectogrid
The Nanit ectogrid is adafhi weighted blanket that, when used with the Nanit Insights subscription, enables breathworth tracking and sleep analytics. For optimal performance, ensure you install the ectogrid correctly:

With the ectogrid in place, launch the Nanit app to ensure your camera is detecting your baby and their breath.
Adding Additional Sensors (optional)
