How Does The Phillips Hue Wake-Up Feature Work?
I recently got myself a set of Phillips Hue White and Color Ambiance lights. One of the features I was looking forward to in particular (besides playing with all the color options) was setting a wake-up alarm with the lights gradually brightening. This was pretty painless to get set up using the phone app. I'm pretty happy with the result, but there's certainly some things I wouldn't mind tweaking. For example, the initial brightness of the bulbs (at the lowest setting) still seems a bit bright, so I might want to delay the bedside lamps and let the more distant lamp start fading in first. I also want to see if I can fiddle it into transitioning between some colors to get more of a sunrise effect (perhaps "rising" from the other side of the room, with the light spreading towards the head of the bed).
Figuring out how the wake-up settings that the app installed on my bridge seemed a good first step towards introducing my own customizations.
Information on getting access to a Hue bridge to make REST API calls to it can be found in the Hue API getting started guide.
My Wake-Up Settings
My wake-up is scheduled for 7:00 to gradually brighten the lights with a half-hour fade-in each weekday. I also toggled on the setting to automatically turn the lights off at 9:00.
Wake up is kicked off at 6:30 with a schedule:
GET http://bridge/api/${username}/schedules/1{
"name": "Wake up",
"description": "L_04_fidlv_start wake up",
"command": {
"address": "/api/oV5vUaXuBwEAA6sjnvqr8n6fBLlzWLjG4x4SIyD8/sensors/2/state",
"body": {
"flag": true
},
"method": "PUT"
},
"localtime": "W124/T06:30:00",
"time": "W124/T10:30:00",
"created": "2018-03-11T19:46:54",
"status": "enabled",
"recycle": true
}This schedule triggers a sensor:
GET http://bridge/api/${username}/sensors/2{
"state": {
"flag": false,
"lastupdated": "2018-03-13T13:00:00"
},
"config": {
"on": true,
"reachable": true
},
"name": "Sensor for wakeup",
"type": "CLIPGenericFlag",
"modelid": "WAKEUP",
"manufacturername": "oV5vUaXuBwEAA6sjnvqr8n6fBLlzWLjG",
"swversion": "A_1801260942",
"uniqueid": "L_04_fidlv",
"recycle": true
}A rule is triggered by this sensor updating:
GET http://bridge/api/${username}/rules/1{
"name": "L_04_fidlv_Start",
"owner": "oV5vUaXuBwEAA6sjnvqr8n6fBLlzWLjG4x4SIyD8",

"lasttriggered": "2018-03-13T10:30:00",
"timestriggered": 2,
"status": "enabled",
"recycle": true,
"conditions": [
{
"address": "/sensors/2/state/flag",
"operator": "eq",
"value": "true"
}
],
"actions": [
{
"address": "/groups/1/action",
"method": "PUT",
"body": {
"scene": "7GJer2-5ahGIqz6"
}
},
{
"address": "/schedules/2",
"method": "PUT",
"body": {
"status": "enabled"
}
}
]
}The bedroom group is set to the following scene, which turns on the lights at minimum brightness:
GET http://bridge/api/${username}/scenes/7GJer2-5ahGIqz6{
"name": "Wake Up init",
"lights": [
"2",
"3",
"5"
],
"owner": "oV5vUaXuBwEAA6sjnvqr8n6fBLlzWLjG4x4SIyD8",
"recycle": true,
"locked": true,
"appdata": {},
"picture": "",
"lastupdated": "2018-03-11T19:46:50",
"version": 2,
"lightstates": {
"2": {
"on": true,
"bri": 1,

},
"3": {
"on": true,
"bri": 1,
"ct": 447
},
"5": {
"on": true,
"bri": 1,
"ct": 447
}
}
}Another schedule is enabled by the rule, which fires one minute after its creation:
GET http://bridge/api/${username}/schedules/2{
"name": "L_04_fidlv",
"description": "L_04_fidlv_trigger end scene",
"command": {
"address": "/api/oV5vUaXuBwEAA6sjnvqr8n6fBLlzWLjG4x4SIyD8/groups/0/action",
"body": {
"scene": "gXdkB1um68N1sZL"
},
"method": "PUT"
},
"localtime": "PT00:01:00",
"time": "PT00:01:00",
"created": "2018-03-11T19:46:51",
"status": "disabled",
"autodelete": false,
"starttime": "2018-03-13T10:30:00",
"recycle": true
}That schedule sets another scene, which transitions the lights to full brightness over the next 29 minutes (1740 seconds).
GET http://bridge/api/${username}/scenes/gXdkB1um68N1sZL{
"name": "Wake Up end",
"lights": [

],
"owner": "oV5vUaXuBwEAA6sjnvqr8n6fBLlzWLjG4x4SIyD8",
"recycle": true,
"locked": true,
"appdata": {},
"picture": "",
"lastupdated": "2018-03-11T19:46:51",
"version": 2,
"lightstates": {
"2": {

},
"3": {

},
"5": {
"on": true,
"bri": 254,
"ct": 447,
"transitiontime": 17400
}
}
}Finally, an additional rule takes care of turning the lights off and the wake-up sensor at 9:00 (Two and a half hours after the initial triggering of the sensor).
