Sleep as Android

It's just a really great alarm clock app, but with tons of other sleep tracking functionality. I've always had trouble sleeping through my alarms, but I never do with this.

If you run Home Assistant, Sleep as Android can publish events to an MQTT broker so you can create automations based on those events, like "smart_period", "awake", "not_awake", "alarm_alert_smart", etc.

I used tasker to slowly ramp up my bedroom lights before my alarm goes off. Makes it easier to get up and not as jaring.

If you have Hue bulbs (and maybe some other now, haven't looked in a while) Sleep as Android can do that too!

I came to say Sleep as Android as well. Been using it since we were submitting bug reports on Google+ (anyone old enough to remember Google+ ? lol) ... absolutely love it.

I did the same thing with home assistant and just the stock clock app. Just looking at the "next alarm" sensor state.

As a backup option, you can give Google Assistant or a Google Home the following commands: "at 10PM, sleep {lightname}" to dim, or "at 6AM, wake {lightname}" to brighten - both work over the space of a half-hour, and for some odd reason that's not customizable.

ยฃ70 premium version is a little rich for my blood. O_O

Yikes! Is that what it is now? I got it a decade ago for $5.

[โ€“] hyacin@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Same! Wow, that is a bit much :-(

[โ€“] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah same here! I had no idea it was that much now.
