Activate new functions for Smart Bulbs
With rhythms you can now automate your Hombli Smart lights even easier. It’s now possible to setup your lights to automatically change the color temperature and brightness over the day. So now you can have a bulb which changes from clear and bright light during the day to warm soft light in the evening. It is now for instance also possible to use your lamp as a wake-up alarm with the morning rhythm.
Which bulbs are getting the new feature?
All Hombli bulbs and spots produced after 2020 get this new rhythm functionality. So, it is possible that your lamp gets this feature as well! You can check this with the product code on the device.

How to activate the rhythm feature?
The rhythms are directly visible in the app. However, to use them you first need to reset the bulb. To reset the bulb, please remove it from the app, and add the bulb again:
-
- Open the Hombli app and click on the green plus icon in the right top corner.
- Select the bulb that you want to add from the list.
- Turn the bulb on-off-on-off-on (with a switch).
- The bulb should be flashing quickly, this means it has been reset and will reconnect with the app.
- When the bulb is added to the app, you can find the new rhythms by opening the device in the app and clicking on ‘more’ at the bottom of the screen.
You are now ready to use the five new rhythm functions in the app:
Biorhythm
With the Biorhythm function, the lamp changes color-temperature during the day.
How to set-up >
Morning rhythm
With this function the lamp can turn on slowly in the morning to wake you up gently.
Night rhythm
Night rhythm is the reverse of morning rhythm; slowly turning off the light at night.
Random rhythm
This is ideal for holidays: the lamps will turn on-and-off randomly, so it looks like someone is home.
Cycle rhythm
This combines night rhythm with morning rhythm; slowly turning on and then slowly turning off.
