Tips & Tricks Is it possible to set an automatic schedule for the dimmable light bulbs?
I would like to create my own sunrise alarm clock but lamp only. A lot of the sunrise alarm clocks are either 1- very expensive and/or have a monthly subscription or 2- have a less gradual light up and I’d like them to be softer. Additionally, it would be nice to use the lamp as needed in the evenings etc and then have it slowly turn on in the mornings to add light to my bedroom, automatically at 7:00 or what have you.
I’ve seen some hacks on TikTok etc about using a Google home hooked up to it, but I’m hoping to do it without an additional app or product, just via the IKEA app. From what I can gather, there is a schedule mode on the app but I can’t explore it without adding the products to it, which I don’t have yet.
Anyone who uses the IKEA home with dimmable lightbulbs, can you tell me if it’s possible to schedule something like:
- 7:00 very dim/10%
- 7:10 dim/20%
- 7:20 dim/30% etc etc?
