This is an utitlity app for the Philips Hue system. If you go to sleep at different times, but always want to wake up in X hours by your Hue lamps and sound alarm, than this app is perfect for you!
Key Features:
- Update hue sleep and wake up lights + switching of wake up lights + sound alarm with one click
- Wake up "in" X hours and Y minutes
- Or wake up "at" certain time (your choice)
- Offset settings. E.g. start wake up lights 5 minutes before sound alarm
So in this app you just need to define the amount of time you want to sleep and it will update all your schedules with just one click. It saves you the struggle of adjusting the hue sleep schedule manually every night, calculating your wanted wakeup time and setting up the according hue schedules and sound alarm.
Instructions:
After installing the app you will need to pair it with your hue bridge. The app will guide your through this process. Afterwards you need to configure the app for your needs, see the help page (question mark icon in upper right corner) for a step by step guide on how to do this. When you are set up, all you need to do in the future is to open the app when going to sleep and press the update button. That's it!
Caution:
This app is still in beta phase. So setup a backup alarm at first usages in case it doesn't work correctly. I'm using it for several months now with no failures what so ever, which doesn't mean that it works for every smartphone the same way! If it does not work properly, please feel free to contact me.
Permissions:
- Photos/Media/Files: To read an play user selected songs for the sound alarm
- Storage: For logging to a file. The app will work without the permission. But if you experience failures, turning this on can help me identify the source.
- Disable your screen lock: Necessary for the sound alarm to display itself when the device is locked. When closing the sound alarm the device is locked again.
- Full network access: For network connection to the Hue Bridge.
- Prevent device from sleeping: Necessary for the sound alarm to start on exact schedule. This will not effect the whole device, but just this app.
