I built a sunrise alarm clock. It's just two ikea lamps, two lamp dimmer modules, and a SmartThings Hub. The lights start dimming-on at 6:37 every morning (30 minutes 0-100%). I do have my alarm on my phone set still, but I'm normally up before it goes off, it's more a reminder to get out of bed on slow days. This setup works great for me, I've had it going for about three years now, I'm, no longer shocked to awake-ness by an annoying alarm rather as I slowly wake up as I become more aware of the light in the room.

FD: I'm just about to start working for ST, but I've had this setup for years already.
