This sounds awesome, but I'm not 100% sure what to expect. Like, what does the "Weather" setting look like vs the "time of day" setting and the "northern lights" setting? Do you plan on adding photos and/or videos to the site with examples of how it works?

I'm working on a video, just requires a bit of setup since a time lapse video is needed to capture what is happening with the app. The different times of day and weather influence are all fairly mild since the app is designed to be used every day.

This would be neat if it didn't require you to leave your computer (mac) running. I only have a laptop that I always carry with me. Now get me something I can run on one of my headless machines and I'd pay but I don't have an anyways on mac unfortunately.

If one of those headless machines is running Linux, this script [1] says it will control Hue using Redshift [2].

Edit:

There's also this, which is a bit more polished: https://github.com/deuxpi/redshift-hue

And this, which even has a GUI! https://github.com/poinck/lampe

Thank you for that link!

This great! Any plans to bringing this to Android/PC?

Hopefully you add support for LIFX as well!

Coming in the first update, I just need to purchase some LIFX bulbs for testing first!

LIFX will for sure will give you some free ones, I'm sure!

Why not just link directly to the App Store?
