Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.

It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

Twinkly Light Automation (alien.top)

Hello! I recently bought a strand of twinkly multi color lights and I love them. The effects are great and easily adaptable. However, I can't figure out how to automate different saved effects to turn on and off throughout the day. For example, I also have Philips Hue lights and they are set to come on in a warm color at sunset and fade to blue at 10pm. I would love to have the twinkly lights do something similar. Currently, I use the Philips Hue app to control the automations. The only other home control device I have used is Google home. Neither of these will work for this application. So, any suggestions on a new app/automation platform that can perform this simple task?
