On that note, you can set two alarms, should your partner perhaps want to wake up at a different time to you. The light alone worked fine for us, but deeper sleepers are likely to appreciate the extra reassurance. The lamp has both audio effects (including the tweeting birds almost always present in wake-up lights) and an FM radio, which you can set as a backup in case you sleep through the simulated sunrise.
The lamp made for a far more gentle and enjoyable rising experience than using a phone alarm, and it gradually brightens the entire room to prepare you for the day. The Somneo really comes into its own when you have a particularly early start, and it's dark outside. At any rate, it's a little more confusing than it probably should be, but at least everything works.The lamp doubles as a soft reading light to help you wind down at night (Image credit: Future) The app still connects with those lights the old way, which means there are now essentially two onboarding mechanisms built into the app, along with the in-app option to pair your bulb with HomeKit. First- and second-gen Lifx bulbs don't work with HomeKit, and, oddly, neither do the likable Lifx Z color-changing light strips, which were released just months before HomeKit compatibility was announced as an upcoming feature. Lifx tells me that the change is meant to make the pairing experience better using Apple's onboarding protocol, but it's worth noting that not all Lifx bulbs use this protocol. To finish pairing, you can "claim" the light to connect it with your Lifx account and control it from anywhere, or you can finish pairing it with HomeKit. From there, it'll show up in the Lifx app as a bulb that's on the local network.

In other words, Apple is doing what the Lifx app typically does by pairing the light to your home network.

For instance, if you wanted the nightlight setting to come on every night, but only wanted the wake up lights to come on during weekdays, you can't do that. For instance, you can't adjust the color or brightness of those four presets (at least, not yet), and while you get to pick the start time of each one, you can't activate different presets on different days. It's a great visual, and a smart way to make automated light a little more intuitive.ĭay & Dusk still needs a little work, though. The Lifx app even shows you a little color-coded line graph of how the light will act throughout the day based on your settings. Turn the feature on, and your lights will automatically cycle through whichever of those four presets you've enabled on the days of your choice. There's a "Wake Up" preset that puts out neutral daylight to help you feel less groggy in the morning, presets for "Day" and "Evening" that match the progression of sunlight, and a "Nightlight" preset that puts out a dull, dimmed-down orange as you sleep. What Day & Dusk offers is four lighting presets meant to mimic the natural progression of light throughout the day. The first is a feature called "Day & Dusk," and any Lifx light that changes colors can take advantage of it, not just the $30 bulb that puts Day & Dusk right in its name. Royal Philips, today announced the launch of its expanded SmartSleep suite of solutions in the United States that aims to improve the lives of millions of consumers. That said, there are some significant new additions to the app this year.
