This used to require the IFTTT service, but this year the new Philips Hue app introduced the Routines feature, and its main function is to schedule your Hue lights to turn on and off. This is a feature that has been missing for a very long time, but has finally appeared.
To get started, open the Philips Hue app on your smartphone and click the Routines tab at the bottom.
On the next screen, select «My Procedures».
Click on the round plus button at the bottom right corner of the screen.
Click where it says «My Procedure 1» at the top and enter your name for the procedure you will create.
Then under «When should this start?» Select the time you want the Hue light to turn on.
