  its pretty hacky but it works for me (i tried it on xampp for windows but its currently running on a ubuntu apache + php 7) you will need to fine tune the variables to the maximum values that your light will support or you can send the raw values from flux to mqtt and handle it from homeassistant or whatever it is you are using... and you need the phpMQTT library download linky sensor setup for homeassistant sensor: platform: mqtt state_topic: 'flux/data' name: 'Flux Status' value_template: '{{ value_json.fluxstate }}' platform: mqtt state_topic: 'flux/data' name: 'Flux Color Temperature' value_template: '{{ value_json.colortemp | round(0) }}' platform: mqtt state_topic: 'flux/data' name: 'Flux Brightness' value_template: '{{ value_json.brightness | round(0) }}' platform: mqtt state_topic: 'flux/data' name: 'Flux Timestamp' value_template: '{{ value_json.timestamp | timestamp_local }} input_boolean: enable_flux: name: Change Light to Flux Data initial: on

  Thanks for the link. If you have Philips Hue, f.lux has controlled those for years. We'll post instructions and more info soon.

  There is a nice preset on the Mac called "far from the equator" that should do almost exactly this. Set your wake time and pick that one and you'll be ok.

  @herf I think I might have done a bad job explaining myself. I was asking if it was possible for you guys or maybe someone from the community to create a modified version of the Philips hue firmware where f.lux software would intervene when the user requests a blank white value. That way, f.lux software wouldn't fight for priority with other home automation services.

  Sorry to necro, but in case anyone else has the same problem as OP, because I have a fix-- What is your keyboard layout? Are you using a non-English keyboard? I occasionally have the same problem while using a custom keyboard layout (which I designed in MSKLC to work for multiple languages). I don't believe I've had issues while using a US English or German keyboard, but I haven't been keeping track up to now and I switch often. After I switch to another layout and switch back to my custom keyboard it works again, so I'm not sure exactly what the issue could be. Just something to try if the hotkeys stop working!

  Yes, we're looking at a couple ways to do it. There might be a hacker mode where you run a daemon on your Mac that syncs with f.lux (and then you could move it to a home server or raspberry pi if you wanted). But we need to do better than "leave the mac on all the time" even though I know some people have a mac mini that does that - it isn't most people!

  I believe Philips White Ambiance does 2200-6500K, and their color bulbs officially do 2000K-6500K. However, we adjust the color and RGB bulbs outside this range, so the "color" bulbs do a wider range with f.lux.

  One way is to buy a cheap lux meter on Amazon, and post the values here for your workspace (with screen off and on), and the room you are in before bed (screen off and on). These numbers ignore spectrum, but they make a neat discussion. Here, we've lit our office at >500 lux of 5000K LED, and our house can do <5 lux of 1500K before bed. This nighttime setting is maybe extreme for some people, but I think it's actually a reasonable start to the "control" we need to affect circadian timing.

  I take it you're referring to the Samsung SmartThings Hub? Thanks for sharing.

  A bit late for the party on this, but as an amateur astronomer, I think it opened up the eyes to the members of the IAU; (International Astronomical Union); that voted "NO" and demoted Pluto to minor planet status to maybe have a re-think.
