DIY Simulate Sunrise for Early Mornings
My job starts early morning, I dont know about you but it takes me forever to get up when its still dark outside. I dont like to drink coffee, I have been able to stay away for it for so long. My body clock wakes with the sunrise, so I wanted to simulate it to coincide with my alarm clock. Here is what I ended up doing:
The light strip will turn on 1 hour before my alarm clock. It will start out with Red light to simulate the early morning sunrise:
Then after 30 minutes it goes to Dim White:
Then 15 minutes later it goes to Bright White:
I used an Arduino and 3 Mosfets to control the LED Light Strip, and a Plug-in-Timer to sink with the actual time. It was the cheapest and easiest way I could think of, without using ALEXA
I will have to get back to you on how I feel after a week or two of using this to let you know if it works.
I can also use it for mood lighting ...
