Gradually Changing Sengled Light Colors for Sunset Simulation

I’ve been exploring ways to enhance my home’s ambiance, and I stumbled upon an interesting challenge with my Sengled Color bulbs. I wanted to create a sunset-like effect where the lights gradually shift from white to warm reds and oranges over about 30 minutes. This would help ease the transition to nighttime and create a soothing environment.

After some research, I discovered that routines or scenes might be the key. I tried setting up a routine in my smart home app, but it didn’t quite achieve the smooth color transition I was hoping for. The change was abrupt, which defeated the purpose.

I then thought about using a third-party app or service that could handle the gradual color shift. I came across some recommendations for apps that allow custom color transitions, but I’m hesitant to introduce more apps into my setup for simplicity’s sake.

Has anyone successfully implemented a similar sunset simulation using just their smart home system? Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated! I’d love to hear how others have tackled this or if there’s a more seamless way to achieve this effect without complicating my setup.

Looking forward to your insights and experiences!
