Wake up and Go to sleep

Your Google Assistant is so smart, it can wake you up and help you fall asleep with light. Pair your Philips Hue lights to Google Assistant to get a better night’s rest.

Wake me up gently

The Google Assistant can sync with your alarm and Hue lights to wake you up gradually with light — mimicking the sunrise — right before the bells begin to chime. Just say, “Hey Google, turn on Gentle Wake Up.”

Sleep my lights

Set your Google Assistant to slowly fade your lights at a certain time to help you fall asleep easier. Simply say, “Hey Google, sleep my lights at 10pm.”
