DIY Wake Up light Cheap<\/h2>\n
There are a few apps to help you set up your DIY Sunrise Alarm Clock. If you already have your Philips Hue system running, it’s a simple process to add in your app of choice to set it up once. If you haven’t yet set up your light or are looking to purchase some smart lighting check out this post on how to install and configure your Philip Hue light globes.<\/a><\/p>\n Philips makes some amazing lighting products especially their Hue range, which I am a big fan of. Most of the products we have reviewed here at Notsealed are from Philips. This includes their normal generation 3 Hue dimmable light globes to:<\/p>\n We show you how to use the Official Philips Hue app to make the DIY sunrise wake-up alarm, use IFTTT.com (If this then that) to program your lights for various alarms and scenarios. Finally, we will explain the features of the amazing app Sleep as Android.<\/em><\/p>\n Philips Hue, LIFX, and Belkin Wemo are a few of the more quality smart lights out on the market at the moment. Each one has its own pros and cons so its best to stick with one brand for the full user experience. There are a few other brands out there that are cheaper, but the quality isn’t there yet.<\/p>\n Congratulations if you have followed all the steps you now have a DIY Wake up Light alarm clock for no extra money spent.<\/p>\n This is accomplished\u00a0using IFTTT (If This Then That by Baszs.<\/em><\/a>)<\/p>\n Just set the time and which days of the week you would like to wake up.

As this is an internet-connected recipe make sure you have a stable connection to your Hue Bridge. I ended up having to set up a Static Ip Address for the Hue bridge hub<\/a> to stop the dropouts.<\/p>\n I have been trailing out the Sleep as Android app<\/a> for a few months now to help with my night shift work schedule. It’s a Smart alarm clock with sleep cycle tracking that works on a phone or tablet. It wakes you gently in the optimal moment for pleasant mornings depending on your sleep cycle.<\/p>\n Normal buzzer alarm clocks don’t care when they wake you up, you just set a time and it shocks you awake. Sleep as Android app will look at your sleep cycle pattern and wake you, when not in a deep sleep. During the night or day, if you are a shift worker, your body follows its natural sleep cycles. Your body clock sleep cycle will go from light sleep, to a very deep sleep cycle. Occasionally you will fall into the REM<\/a>-sleep mode, which is where you will begin to dream. Sleep as Android is fully compatible with Philips Hue lighting so that the smart hue bulb will be controlled by the app to simulate a sunrise. It does this by starting at a low red intensity and gradually gets too bright and yellow over time.<\/p>\n IF you have a smartwatch, you may be able to access some other features. This then enables you to place your phone on your table, not have to have your phone on your bed. Your smartwatch will detect movement and vibrations. Supported watches for Sleep as Android are<\/p>\n Note : Some smartwatches may require\u00a0an extra update or patch to work correctly.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n – Deep sleep cycle tracking with a special smart wake up zone that uses your phone’s or wearable sensors (2 weeks trial).\n
