Cid,

I've thrown together this guide on how to use f.lux with Node-RED to control Alexa powered lights.

Any feedback would be appreciated!

@herf said in F.lux compatible ceiling fixtures? happy wheels:

Yes, the Philips ceiling lamps should work the same as the regular bulbs. I think they have models from $150-300 - can be worth it because some models can be very bright.

For cheaper options, you can also get traditional fixtures and add a smart bulb after.

Thank you! This helps.

@luotinen yeah buddy thats nice ok

I would LOVE to be able to change the brightness separate from the overall color. Easiest solution would be for f.lux to have a checkbox that asks whether or not to let f.lux change the brightness of the lights. This would be great because while I like the idea of my lights changing color based on the f.lux schedule, I don't always want my lights at max brightness all the time, especially depending on what I'm doing. So it's currently not a useful feature for me.

The justification the upset tones is to unusually recreate the photograph negatives in the red light darkroom!

What is the best setting in f.lux, to reduce headaches. https://www.targetehr.me/

I've found that the transition between 5500(day) - 2700(night) to be bit rough immediately. So if you can change it once you feel eye stain, simply do that. Anything under 6500k is an improvement besides.

Also I've personally used dark wallpapers, dark text editors, dark firefox theme and youtube overhaul etc. Which is much more comfortable in the evening.

You can decide to release the lights off or stay on at a nightlight. To initiate the Prepare me to rest Formula you press your picked button on your Tap switch or long press the picked button on your dimmer switch!

@herf Was this ever accomplished? It'd be real neat if it was. Loving the functionality now, but agreed that having to run back to my computer to completely disable F.Lux to do the cool things with the Hue lamps is kind of a bummer. Alt+End doesn't seem to temporarily disable Hue control, just my monitor, so the only workaround I've found so far is to disable the entire program and restart it when I'm done.

Ok so I just got it yesterday and figured out some stuff. When you turn the PC off it stays at the last setting which is nice. It's perfect.

Something is bothering me though, is there a way for f.lux to only control temperature and let me control brightness? Because right now if I want to watch a movie with a dimmed light, I have to disable light control through f.lux.

To explain in too much detail:

Philips moved their discovery endpoint recently, but this new endpoint does not work with v1 bridges. So if we use the new one we lose support for v1 bridges.

f.lux can also use uPNP on the LAN to find hue bridges, but this tends to be slower and more error prone (firewalls can break it - so this may be what's going on). This is what basically every f.lux install is doing right now.

We have been trying to keep support for v1 bridges but may give it up soon, or we may just make an option you turn on to use uPNP to support them--but breaking anything in an update is something to avoid.

Hello, I got some Yeelight Smart led Bulb 1s(color) Model YLDP13YL,
I have f.lux and can someone help me how to connect this? I Have Lan option marked in yeelight app.

@yesinkatle6 At sunset remove blue from light / increase the orange

Decrease brightness up until bedtime but not to turn off completely until I decide to go to bed

To repeat every day without me having to change the start time i.e. automatically adjusts to sunset time throughout the ye

There are some hidden settings for this.
