Wake Up Light – Sunrise Alarm

Simulate Dawn Sunlight at Home

Published by: Andreas Ganske

Description

Wake up more naturally with your wake-up light based on your smart HomeKit lights, and improve your morning routine with Wake Up Light.
Are you tired in the morning? Does your body feel like it doesn't want to get up? Create an artificial dawn with Wake Up Light, so getting up in the morning feels easier and more natural. Built for use with HomeKit-enabled lights, now it’s easy to add a wake-up light alarm to the Apple Home app.
Say you want to wake up at 8:00 a.m. Use Wake Up Light to schedule your bed light to turn on at 7:30 am with its minimum brightness in a dark reddish color. Your light will then gradually increase its brightness and change its color to daylight white until it reaches its full brightness at 8:00 a.m. Got smart blinds? Let them gradually open 20 minutes before your wake-up time. Coffee machine plugged into a smart outlet? Let it turn on 15 minutes before your alarm goes off.
Set a light alarm that starts your day before your desired wake-up time (a recommended duration is something between 30 and 60 minutes). Your light brightens to its maximum intensity by the time you’ve set it, shifting from dim, warm red to bright and cold white after its light-up duration. The brighter the light, the better the effect will be on your body. The goal is to put you into a lighter sleep so that you awaken easier.
FEATURES
– Alarms that turn on lights and change colors as they brighten
– Support for all HomeKit-enabled lights, blinds and outlets
– Alarms are shared with everyone who has access to the same home
– There is no need to keep your iPhone connected (or even on)
– Set the days your wake-up light should wake you
– Combine lightbulbs, power outlets, and smart blinds
– Shortcuts and Siri support to activate, reschedule and deactivate your alarms
– Create multiple wake-up lights and control multiple accessories per alarm
– Preview your wake-up light
Wake Up Light lets you easily create wake-up lights that fit your needs. Just select your light and preferred wake-up time, and Wake Up Light will create HomeKit automation for you, turning your lights on gradually over time.
Adjust the duration of the brightening phase (between 30 and 60 minutes is recommended) and choose the brightness your lights should reach. Your light then brightens to its maximum intensity by the time you have chosen, shifting from dim, warm red to bright and cold white after its light-up duration (if supported by the light bulb).
Add multiple wake-up lights to your weekly schedule. Control different lights with their own custom time, duration and brightness. Everyone in the same house can control the wake-up lights, too – thanks to HomeKit.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
A wake-up light alarm clock brings you slowly into shallower states of sleep by gradually increasing the brightness in your room. The light travels through your closed eyelids, notifying your body the same way as a natural sunrise. This gradual transition from deeper to shallower states of sleep has been found to wake you more naturally and boost your mood, energy and productivity for the whole day.
Let your lights brighten your morning.

Wake Up Light Reviews

Doesn’t work with my lights unfortunately

ravisorg on

Canada

While the app does appear to do what it advertises, my dimmer / leds require a minimum brightness level to turn on. If the lights start out at a lower level than the minimum, they’ll never turn on, no matter how high the dimmer gets. Currently this app always starts at a very low light level and so my lights never come on when using this app. If the app supported modifying the “minimum and maximum brightness levels” that would fix it, but as of this writing it doesn’t and so I can’t use it. I emailed the app dev a few weeks ago about this but no response. Looking forward to using the app again if they add this feature.

Need to Pay for Subscription

The greedy people of this world never cease to amaze me. A person spends hundreds of dollars to purchase a device for their home only to learn to run that device you have to pay a subscription to even turn it on. What is happening here. We no longer own the products we buy. Instead they are leased to us. I will never ever ever pay a subscription to run an item I pay my hard earned money for, These subscription SCAMS must stop! When we buy a device, let us run it freely as we are entitled to.

Not for phone

Too bad it doesnt work with phone only. Setup with home.

Meh

Dangerous-Mouse on

Canada

Gets the job done but not ideal and buggy at times

Lots to improve

dany jr. on

Canada

It often messes up the gradient and just turns the lights on at 100%. Also, the app is not intuitive anymore. Now, it always glitches and doesn’t remember my settings. It used to be better before they tested it more towards the premium version and neglected the free version.

Subscription Greed

Canada

Way too expensive for the premium features. They should be a one-time purchase. Tweetbot is $8 a year, this is $20? 🙄

Missing the feature I wanted

Cole T. on

Canada

Seems like it’s probably a good app. Wanted to do this in relation to sunset though which doesn’t seem to be an option

Very handy simple app

1thisisme on

Canada

Great app. Fills a notable gap of HomeKit and works very simply. A couple ideas if you’re looking: quickly deactivating/activating alarms by sliding, integration with Siri so you can say “hey Siri, set wake up light for 6am”.

Does not work

MelissaSolberg on

Canada

I am unable to get this app to work as it will not give me any available lights to works with. I upgraded to premium but still nothing. Does not work.

Great little utility!

PuzzledSam on

Canada

Overall, this app is amazing! It’s a little utility I never thought I needed, but I am super happy it exists. I do have one minor annoyance with the way this works though... any chance of getting the scenes created by this app to not be favorited?
