Tech Tip #3: The perfect wake up X Philips HUE

/

The rising sun has been waking us up since before the dawn of civilization.


It’s the perfect indicator , not too dim, not too bright. Just right. 


But what about the times where you have to wake up before the sun is out ? Or perhaps you have room darkening shades?


Nothing is worse than turning on a light and being blinded in the morning or waking up your partner.

HUE App routines

We all want the Perfect Wake Up.

There’s a fix for that if if you have the Philips Hue lights. There’s option 1 which is not that good and then option 2.  Option 2 is more customizable and the way to go !!


Option 1 is in the Hue app and is found under Routines, named Wake Up.


Briefly on how to set up option 1 :


You set a time for them to turn on and the lights come on at full 100% brightness, definitely not the best option.


Option 2 can be found under Explore --> Hue Labs --> Formulas and scroll down to Personal wake up.


  • You set a power wake up or a relax wake up. 

  • Set the brightness and fade in time.

  • Set which days you want them to turn on.

  • Set the lights you want to come on.

  • And finally what time you want them to turn off.


Now, my lights turn on at the time I want them to and at the precise brightness. No more blinding myself.

Just the Perfect Wake Up !!
