App Description

Turn your hue lights on at sunset. Hue Sunset adjusts the times of hue lighting schedules created with the hue manufacturer’s application. On time can be adjusted for sunset with an offset. Off time can be adjusted for sunrise. These adjustments are made automatically while Hue Sunset runs in the background on your iOS device.

PLEASE NOTE: 1) The Philips hue Gen 2 app is not fully compatible with Hue Sunset. The Wake up and Go to sleep routines should not be adjusted with Hue Sunset.
2) Hue Sunset does not create schedules it only modifies them. They must be created using the Philips hue application. Schedules are called Alarms in the original Philips hue application and Routines in the newer Philips hue Gen 2 application. See the Information tab in the Hue Sunset application for steps necessary to set up proper operation.
