So there's 'Gentle Wake Up' and 'Circadian Daylight' apps that should hopefully work. Someone also mentioned that there's a command to ramp up a dimmer (for a incandescent bulb). No one has confirmed the "weekday only" option, but hopefully it can run only on weekdays.
Okay, awesome, so It looks like I can do what I want. I'm going to order a Hubitat.
Oh, can anyone recommend a smart bulb for me? I see bulb selection is not so easy.
Thank you for the reply and recommendation. It looks like the Hubitat will do the one thing I wanted to accomplish, so I'm going to go ahead and buy a Hubitat, but I'm also finding the community to be super-helpful which is a huge huge bonus.
Where you located? In North America, I'd recommend Sengled bulbs. But you should have other line-powered devices that establish a robust zigbee mesh. This is because Sengled bulbs are designed not to be zigbee repeaters.
Hubitat also support YeeLight bulbs, and there's a community integration for LiFX bulbs.
The philips Hue bulbs look good, but I guess need the hub. I wouldn't mind buying a Hue Hub, but it appears to send info to the cloud, which I do not want.
The biggest pro point I have for Philips Hue, after years of resisting, as of late last year, they finally conceded and you can now set their power up state following a power outage to on, off, or last state (I believe); alas, I haven't invested in Philips.
My Sylvania Lightify RGBW strips (and their old RGBW bulb I had that died long ago), IKEA TRÅDFRI, and Sengled all come on 100% warm white following a power outage, which isn't a huge issue mid-day, but sucks in the middle of the night. Thank heavens the Caseta dimmers and GE in-wall fan controls don't do that.
I'm mainly replying with the hope that someone says, "hey, try this with that Sengled ...," since that's what I'm slowly converting to.
Hi guys, I'm also interested in this. I just don't like the app(Gentle wake up). So I talked to Bruce in another thread. He will implement a stop function for scene transitions. With this it's way easier to create a sun rise function (at least with ct bulbs) with RM. He said it will be in the next firmware release.
Good morning guys,
I just woke up to a beautiful sunrise made in RM. Thanks too the stoppable scene transition feature.
It starts red, goes to a nice orange and turns whitish in a step curve. I made it in two phases but I think I will extend it to a more natural simulation. See the rule in the screen shots to recreate if you wish.!
yes, I did. I think I made tbe post before I switched to cocohue. In cocihue you can set the colorrange to 400... that alows for a better math. do you want the screen shots of the rule?
I'll check that out! I'm unfamiliar with cocohue but I'll check it out. I haven't been doing much with HE lately but now that I have more time, I'm trying to catch up and get things exactly as I want them.
