I just read a great article about a company wanting to do Circadian lighting on the International Space Station! It was very inspiring, so now I want to look into automating that. Up until now, my priority has been smart switches (both Zigbee and Z-Wave) and voice control, but I also have an automation to dim when it’s bed time.

Can anyone compare Circadian vs “dim to warm”, by how happy you are with results, cost, complexity? I guess I’d have to get all new bulbs either way, but I’d have to rewire and reconfigure switches for smart bulbs to do Circadian and I’d have to actively automate, vs “dim to warm” would just do it

    I modified an AppDaemon script found on HACS as I found that the regular warm-when-dim was not ideal. Now, it starts to dim an hour before sunset, but starts to warm only after sunset. It feels more natural this way… This is by far the feature that I enjoy the most on my installation.
