- Smart-home users who want gentler evening lighting
- Worth noticing
- The sunset offset and bedtime settings lower a brightness limit rather than repeatedly switching individual lights.
Field notes
The Home Assistant implementation follows sunset and a user-set bedtime to reduce the maximum brightness over the course of an evening. It can work with ordinary dimmable bulbs when a compatible smart dimmer provides brightness control, avoiding a smart bulb in every socket. The site says the Apple Home version will use a HomePod or Apple TV as a home hub, but also notes that individual brands have not all been tested or certified.
