Personal Automation on waking up

I am slowly getting my head around automations, but cannot figure this one out, or even if it is possible.

This is what I want it to do.

When I turn off my morning alarm.

Turn on bathroom light
Turn on downstairs light in kitchen.

I have both of the above set up as a scene in Homekit.

I have set up this to work, but I have identified some extra things that I would like to happen.

This only needs to happen if I am 'at home'
The lights only need to come on if it is before sunrise.

This is what I have set up for the first part, but its the extra bits I cannot figure.

Personal Automation
Alarm
When - is stopped - alarms - any
Add action
Search - Home
Control Our Home
Set scenes and accessories
Run 'good morning scene'

All help is appreciated.

Trevor ~ I don't do Home automations (only Personal ones), so I don't know how you'd incorporate my suggestions. Anyway, the following should provide for your Sunrise request. But if it doesn't, you can probably see how to modify it.

RoutineHub • Is it Day or Night?

Yes it is all working fine.

This is what I have done. Think it could be made cleaner, but it works and I don't want to change it now.

I had to put the 'At Home' shortcut in manually as I could not get it to work correctly linking to the original shortcut.

'Day or Night' is the shortcut from your link and 'Good Morning' is a from Homekit to set the lights how I want them.

It took me a while to figure out how to test when I was 'away' but the penny dropped and I just changed my home address in the script to somewhere different. :-)

Many thanks

Trevor

Trevor ~ Let me know whether the following "At Home" works for you and then I'll post the "Sunrise" one. Put your home address in the Street Address action:
