Automatically adjust smart lighting for circadian rhythm optimization and wellness tracking throughout the day.

Workflow Steps

1

Philips Hue

Set up circadian lighting scenes

Create custom lighting scenes in the Hue app: energizing cool white (6500K) for morning, neutral white (4000K) for afternoon, warm white (2700K) for evening, and red light (650nm) for night therapy sessions.

2

IFTTT

Connect time-based triggers

Set up IFTTT applets to automatically trigger different Hue scenes based on time of day: 7 AM energizing, 12 PM neutral, 6 PM warm, 9 PM red therapy mode.

3

Apple Health

Track sleep and activity data

Enable sleep tracking and activity monitoring in Apple Health to gather baseline wellness data that will inform lighting adjustments.

4

Shortcuts

Create wellness automation

Build iOS Shortcuts that read your sleep quality from Apple Health and adjust morning light intensity accordingly - brighter scenes after poor sleep, gentler scenes after good sleep.
