I would like my room ambient lighting to follow time of day in the sim.  Does anyone know of a program that will detect this to automate ambient lighting through google home?  Thanks

If you have Air Manager, the Simstrumentation group has released an Ambient Light Dimmer instrument that can be used to dim the backlighting in various Air Manager instruments that they've published. 

They have also posted instructions on how to use this dimmer (coupled with an Arduino) to automatically dim Hue bulbs as well:

and specific information about the Hue dimming feature:

For years I am looking for something slightly different : ambilighting that gives more/less lighting depending on the lighting on the screen(s). Depending on the lighting in the environment around you.

So more wheh the sun is shining on your windscreen and less with an overcast or no lighting at night… And anything in between.

Si 1 step further than just time….
