Wake-Up Light Alarm w/ MiLight

I leveraged realifeonhold's Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock idea and rather than use a dimmer switch w/ Tasker control, I used a spare MiLight RGBW light bulb and Node-Red to control it.

I had a spare globe light fixture installed by the builder from when we moved into our house. It was slightly larger (123MM diameter) so I needed to scale the original design to 106.5% to fit and since my fixtures needed a ground, I included the plate from the original mount. I cut the power cord off an old broken hot glue gun.

The flow for Node-Red was developed by strelniece and available here: (http://flows.nodered.org/flow/ff0091dffe5b121e0663). It uses MQTT to UDP to broadcast to a MiLight hub. Adding inject nodes to MQTT out will allow you to schedule. This flow changes colors from red to yellow to white over about 30 minutes.
