1) Give a description of the problem
Not really sure where to start with this. If I spring for a Philips Hue hub and lights, I could say to my Google Home/Assistant, “wake me at 6am”, and at 5:30am the designated lights would start to fade up, completing at 6am.
I have no Hue lights or hub, but I want to be able to achieve the same effect. I have a mix of Xiaomi and Lightify Zigbee lights and a few wifi Yeelight devices. I have a Raspberry Pi running a few things (cast-web-api, mi-connector) possibly not relevant here, but might be useful if there’s some code that could help. I have the Google/ST integration setup, so that my SmartThings devices appear in my Google Home app.
2) What is the expected behaviour?
I want to say to Google Assistant, “wake me at 6am” and have my lights start fading up at 5:30am, then the wake-up routine (announce weather, news, etc) starts. I don’t want to have to separately set one timer for the normal wake-up routine and another for 30 minutes beforehand to start the lights fading up.
3) What is happening/not happening?
I’ve created a virtual switch in SmartThings using the “Gentle Wake Up Controller” - when triggered, this starts a fade-up of the lights. This switch is exposed to Google Assistant, so I can turn it on using Google Assistant. I can include that in my Google Home wake-up routine, but the fade-up will start 30 minutes too late.
