The Hatch Restore features a cleaner overall design, and the same applies to the accompanying app since it strips out all of the other smart home accessory types. However, Philips positions the SmartSleep Connected as a true sleep solution with "clinically-proven" results provided by features like ambient environment monitoring and breathing guides.Īnother popular smart wake-up light is the Hatch Restore, which, like the Philips SmartSleep Connected, focuses more on delivering better sleep rather than trying to do everything and is quite a bit more expensive at $130. The most popular option, the Philips SmartSleep Connected Wake-Up Light sports a price tag that is over three times the price of HeimVision's offering but has an almost identical feature set. While gaining popularity over the past few years, smart wake-up lights are still a rather niche category, limiting available options.

I would love to be able to control the wake-up light through the Home app or use it in automation with other HomeKit accessories, but unfortunately, it simply isn't available. My final complaint is with regards to the lack of HomeKit support, which, while not unexpected, is still frustrating for those that like to have everything available in Apple's Home app.
I was unable to track down a brightness rating for the light, but if I were to guess, I would say that it probably tops out at around 300 or 400 lumens. Another hardware complaint that I have is that the light isn't bright enough to truly fill a room or replace a lamp. Whether it is trying to figure out what each icon on the various buttons mean or trying to decipher the abbreviated words and symbols on the LCD display, getting acclimated to the light will take some time. Moving over to the actual hardware, with the sheer amount of features available on HeimVision's light, switching between modes and setting alarms on-device can be a little confusing at first.
