I want to set a start time and end time and have my Hue lights slowly and very gradually over that timeframe shift from like yellow–> red or even white/blue at the start of the day–> red at end and have it automatically carry that out.

Is this possible and what is the easiest way to automate and have this play out lile that?

    If you’re not afraid of some doing some configurations, then you might want to check out Home Assistant. I got completely rid of my Hue bridge and am using a Raspberry Pi with HA and a ZigBee Dongle instead (there are also other setup options, and you can also still use your Hue bridge instead of a Dongle to control the lights). Wouldn’t go back, it’s so much more versatile and cleaner to use.

    Then find a blueprint (e.g. like this one), or create an automation from scratch for your individual needs.

      I have one old Philips whatever they were called lamps that I can’t connect to home assistant. The rest I moved away from the bridge. I think I’ll just let go of that lamp.
