homebridge-circadian-hue v0.9.1

Homebridge Circadian Hue

This plugin interacts with a Hue Hub instance and slowly synchronizes your color changing lights with the regular naturally occurring color temperature of the sky throughout the day. This gives your environment a more natural feel, with cooler hues during the midday and warmer tints near twilight and dawn. Based on the Circadian Lighting Home Assistant Component.

To reset, and have the light controlled by the plugin again, simply turn the light off and on.
