About hue Daylight

When the sun sets I would like my Philips hue lights to turn on. Or when the sun rises I would like my Philips hue lights to turn off. This is now possible using the hue Daylight app!

hue Daylight provides easy to use interface to set-up the existing daylight sensor in the bridge. By setting up behaviours it is possible to turn on your lights (using scenes). Every behaviour is stored in the bridge.

For first time use the sensor needs to be set-up. This is done by acquiring your current location or by selecting a location on the map. This only needs to be done once.

Secondly behaviours need to be set. With creating a new behaviour you're able to select which scene to use on what trigger: Trigger on sunset or on sunrise.

Note:
Existing scenes are used. This means all scenes that are shown are created by the Philips hue app or another 3rd party app.
It may be that there are no scenes at all, if this is the case use another app to create a scene that will fit your needs. If there are scenes available, you can 'try' them first before setting them as part of your behaviour.

I have created this app because I believe this feature should've been included in the main Philips hue app. I hope you like my app, I'm not using adds. Feel free to buy me a beer, check out the Donate! in the app settings.

I don't know if I got a broken app but it only works with the "after sunset" setting. When I try to activate the "before sunset" trigger, the cursor goes from grey to color and I can enter how many minutes I want to offset the trigger. But when I either close the app or just leave it without closing it, the next time I go on the configure page, the offset isn't on "before sunset" like I set it but on "after sunset". It just doesn't want to remain the way I set it. As far as the app working without offset, it just works flawlessly.

I've never been able to get lights to turn on before sunset. Very disappointing.

Works really well. Used it for ages without an issue. A genuinely useful app which is refreshing these days :-)

Works as advertised. Odd that the Hue app doesn't perform this.

After latest update an offset to actual sun rise and sun set times are easily configurable. Thanks much for a useful app!
