DimBot’s phase control is working well now, so our bedroom lights fade up over a period of ten minutes. Still got some glitches, but it wakes us up slowly as desired. And it’s… good!

It’s always hard to do a meaningful scientific study on yourself, but the life partner and I agree that it feels easier and cheerier to wake up. And now that winter weather has really arrived, we need all the help we can get.

So it works, and it helps! Further refinements will include pushing the scheduling and timekeeping down to the DimBot itself instead of having the PC on all night to tell it what to do.
