Hi! A few months ago, I was looking to automate my home lights to follow a "circadian lighting" (dark during the night, cold in the morning/day, warm in the evening), but all the solutions I could find required to keep the lamps on, which meant to stop using the "dumb" switches, which I did not want to do.

Being a programmer, I decided to make my own tool (and over-engineer it). This is Huemility: "Hue schedules for dumb homes". I've been running it for a few months on a Raspberry Pi, and it (mostly) works well. The system detects when a light has been switched back on, and automatically updates it to the scheduled settings. So now I'm sharing it here, hoping it will be helpful to other people :-)

Currently it only works on Linux, and you need to be a bit fluent in Bash & Unix to set it up. Since I'm the only person who's used it, and I've only tested it on NixOS as a module, I'm very curious to hear from other people who want to try it out.

Also I'm curious if you have any thoughts and recommendations about it, or if you know of another tool that does this and I wasted my time making it :D
