I want to set a start time and end time and have my Hue lights slowly and very gradually over that timeframe shift from like yellow--> red or even white/blue at the start of the day--> red at end and have it automatically carry that out.

Is this possible and what is the easiest way to automate and have this play out lile that?

iConnectHue has self adjusting sunset and sunrise timers... but it might have gone to a subscription model, in which case screw that.

And I could certainly set something like that up in home assistant.

It's worth noting that all the Hue bulbs I own have a fairly high minimum brightness. Meaning they pop on at ~10-15% full brightness.
