Alarms

While the "Lights", "Rooms" and "Scenes" resources are often used to directly control the Hue Bridge, i.e. via direct selection in this app, the "Alarms" resource contains all schedules that trigger different actions at defined times. Alarms can be used to switch on certain lights or change their brightness and color at certain times (once or repeatedly). Since the alarms are stored on the Hue Bridge, they are carried out completely regardless of whether your end device (smartphone, PC) is connected to the Hue Bridge or not.
