EVE - SmartLight

You all know the saying about "The early bird ...".
But for most people its hard to get up in the morning; especially during winter when its dark outside.

The EVE SmartLight is a smart light alarm clock controlled by a Raspberry 2 and controllable by a 7" touch screen display.
EVE simulates a sunrise by fading up the light even BEFORE its time to wake up in a smooth way so you can wakeup relaxed and rested while a singing birds sound comes to your ears.

Software

Eve is controlled by a custom JAVA FX application using PI4J and WiringPI.

The software can be found here: https://github.com/NeoP5/eve-smartlight

Electronics

All electronics are kept to be simple.
