Philips Hue Question (1 Viewer)

[Peter Apruzzese]

For those of you with a Philips Hue setup (either color or Lux), can the app/remote make the lights slowly dim all the way down to off? And then dim back up from there? I want something for six ceiling fixtures in my HT and have been disappointed with TCP Connected and GE Link as the bulbs do not go all the way off.


Thanks.

I have programmed my lights to slowly cycle through various themes in the evening. Around 11:30 they begin to fade from a "moonlight" mode to off. The lights do fade but cut off suddenly at a certain point. Then they are totally turned off.

I also use geofencing to turn off my lights when I leave the house with my phone in tow.

Thanks, I picked up a set of the Hue Lux and am just starting to play with them, but it doesn't look like the app can do a timed sequence as I'd like: with one tap on my phone I want a stair light to begin to dim, then a few seconds later the 3 lights over the seating to begin to dim, then a few seconds later the final 2 screen lights to dim. With the Philips app, it's all at the same time.


I see there are some 3rd party apps that look like they can do a sequence like I want - I have to investigate them further.
