Greetings everyone, I wanted to share my experience with creating a sunrise simulation to improve my morning routine. After ditching my traditional alarm clock, I found that waking up naturally with a gradual light increase was much more pleasant and less stressful. I used to rely on a series of robots on Wink to transition my RGBW bulb from dim red to bright daylight over 100 minutes, but maintaining that setup was cumbersome.
Now, I’m exploring alternatives like SmartThings and Hubitat to create a more flexible routine. Ideally, I’d like to configure the wakeup time, duration, and color transition easily. I’ve also considered using a PICO remote for quick adjustments, which would be a great addition for convenience.
If anyone has tips or existing routines that could help, I’d be grateful! Let’s brainstorm together on how to make this even better.
