Anyone interested in this sort of thing for their kids, I've found most hue lights to be too bright and I wanted a way more flexible scheduling ability. So I made my own and now sell them.

It does require any cloud besides ntp and just uses a local web interface. You can define relative events, like 15 minutes before bed is tv time, 5 minutes before is snack time, bed time is 8. If one night the kids are extra cranky and need sleep, simply adjust bed time and the others adjust too.

I've used em for years with my kids!

Well done! This is very impressive!!! You're 100% right that the Hue lights don't get nearly dim enough.

I'm sorry I didn't see your product sooner. More parents should know about your this - I'll make sure to spread the word whenever possible (:

Sorry, should say does NOT require any cloud.
