Can you set the schedule to gradually dim or brighten the light, to use as a 'sunrise' alarm clock? Can the delay between off and full brightness be controlled?

DOS_BossI believe I have the same bluetooth lightbulb, but bought on amazon, so I have some experience with owning one. If it uses the "Magiclight BT" app then you can set timers on the bulb to do sunrise, sunset, or just on off. It lets you set a time to start dimming/brightening, and for how long and from what brightness to start and end at, though there is no option for which color to use, so you have to be okay with the standard white. In the past I notice when it comes on, and it does gradually get brighter, when dimming it's not as noticeable until the last few minutes, so maybe not as good as a phillips hue, but I don't have one of those. Also to note if you turn the bulb physically off like with a switch (not through the app) the timers won't work after you turn it back on until you connect to it with the app. Another thing I noticed is that some other bluetooth lightbulb apps also worked with my bulb, but YMMV.
I realized after typing this out your comment is 4 weeks old, but hey maybe someone else can benefit from it.
