HueSunrise is the dawn simulator you always wanted to have. The only natural way of waking up is light. The slow rise in brightness will release cortisol, so that by the time the light is at full brightness you will wake up. This app will set your Hue system to execute a very complex pattern of light transitions. The colors of your lights will transition from red to blue and finally to a very bright white. Reviews: "That app helped me to keep my job!" "For 30 years I had troubles getting up in the morning. Thanks sunrise!" "I live in Iceland. Thanks for bringing the Caribbean to my flat."

It is designed with a focus on monitoring multiple instances with system status viewable at a glance, with more detailed statistics being just a click away. Though it works just as well if only monitoring a single instance. NextStats has been tested to working with Nextcloud instances version 15 and up, with support for monitoring internally via IP address and externally using SSL (https) on qualified domains. Servers using 2FA will be supported in an upcoming release.
