      Not using my phone, but a dedicated alarm clock on my nightstand. Mainly because I can see the time and what alarm preset is active at a glance.

      I have home assistant(no internet needed) turn in the light from off to dim to bright over 5 mins. Such a nicer way to wake up than an alarm.

        Me too, it’s so much more.natural way to wake up… but it’s still tied to the alarm time of my phone (which also fades in slowly)

            Install the HA Companion app on your phone (I use the “minimal” one.from FDroid), and enable the Alarm Sensor - that provides the next alarm time (so, be careful if you have different alarms throughout the day!)

            Then, I use that time to trigger the lights to start ramping up about 30mins beforehand.

            Also… be careful to check if you’re at home… took me a while to realise the lights were coming on whilst we were away.

            Oh, and I use Simple Alarm Clock - also from FDroid - because it fades in the alarm sound.

      There have been a few times my phone has had an update and didn’t load in, thus not triggering the alarm. I still use my phone, but I have a backup ‘dumb alarm’

      Sometimes if I want to take a short nap, it’s way easier to ask alexa or google to wake me up in 30mins, than set up an alarm.
