Wake-ups for Philips Hue

When I got my first Hue bulbs this was the app that made them worth the cost. It stopped working for me at one point and I was so happy when it was updated. Hue offers a gradual on option for lights that is subpar to this experience. The white light just getting brighter is not as pleasant as the gradual shifting of colors offered here. My one request would be a sunset sequence to cue bedtime. Thanks for making this!

I have been hunting for a way to do a good sunrise simulation for a very long time. This app did it easily. Even better, I can have multiple sunrises at different times for different bulbs, so each family member can have their own sunrise wake-up. Thank you!

I absolutely love this app. Can you make this work for hue lights that are Bluetooth enabled and do not use a bridge?

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.

What a great idea - I just bought a Hue system and this is the perfect compliment to it. Siri Shortcuts would make it even that much better. “Hey Siri, turn on my morning wake up alarm.”

Easy to use and works as described. Small bug: your “Tom’s favorite, very quick” is described as lasting “30 min” instead of “5 min”. Small request: would love a “Tom’s favorite” that starts in blue light!

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.

Couldn’t find any of the fancier ones to do it and ran across this, absolutely amazing

For some reason the wake up setting on the Philips hue app did work so I began searching for an app that would give me a sunrise. This app does it perfectly!!! I like that you can also set a off time too.
