Install the HA Companion app on your phone (I use the “minimal” one.from FDroid), and enable the Alarm Sensor - that provides the next alarm time (so, be careful if you have different alarms throughout the day!)
Then, I use that time to trigger the lights to start ramping up about 30mins beforehand.
Also… be careful to check if you’re at home… took me a while to realise the lights were coming on whilst we were away.
Oh, and I use Simple Alarm Clock - also from FDroid - because it fades in the alarm sound.
Me too, it’s so much more.natural way to wake up… but it’s still tied to the alarm time of my phone (which also fades in slowly)
How do you do that?
