Wake-ups for Philips Hue

I wish there was a routine that did not end in maximum brightness, but the fade in is smooth and the choices are all nice. Kelly’s Favorite is a very natural blue to orange to warm white that is practically like looking out the window at a sunrise. So glad I found this, and many thanks to the author for a ridiculously better way to wake up.

If you’re looking for a simple option for a sunrise / wake light for hue that work well, you’ll be happy with this. Thank you to the author for making the app free. One request: make the off time optional. This would make it easier to transition to another routine (e.g. from the official Hue app) — especially helpful in Northern countries having less daylight hours in the winter.

I'm so sad it took me so long to find this app. What a gift! I work nights and during the winter months it's dark when I go to bed and dark when I wake up. I'm sure it's the same for everyone when there's only 7 hours of sunlight a day. It gets depressing. I've become intrigued by the lamps that simulate the sunrise to wake up more gently. Then I thought how I have hundreds of dollars worth of Hue bulbs. I tried to do it on my own at first, and it was okay, but the lights would get stuck on the various shades of red and yellow. I wanted it to move to more white light as it went on. This app is perfect. It's more intuitive than the native Hue app, does everything I wanted and more, and is out there for free. Bravo. It is worth noting that the time you set the alarm for is the time is starts fading in, not the time it reaches full light, like in the native Philips app.
