  You don’t even need to script it. Just use the Adaptive Lighting custom integration. You can sync your light color temperature with the sun, or customize it any way you like.

    I came here to see if anyone mentioned Home Assistant + Adaptive Lighting. Every single lightbulb in my house is at least a colour temperature bulb and most of them are controlled by Adaptive Lighting. It’s hard to explain just how well it works and how nice it is to have a nook or hallway be ceiling lit and daylight-bright during the day, then warm and cozy by lamplight in the evening.

      Completely agree. I only run it in the living room as it’s north facing and can feel a bit dark.

      Besides the light bulbs being coloured, are they a special kind? I tried to find high CRI lighting and ended up replacing the led strips in a cheap LED panel with Auxmer led strips.

        I tend to find that white tone bulbs work better than RGB for getting room lighting right, though you can get RGBWW bulbs which do well at both. Honestly I’m not attached to any specific brand but I’ve had consistently good experiences with IKEA Tradfri and Lidl Silvercrest bulbs, which both work with Zigbee.

  They also make bulbs that automatically change as you dim them since a smart bulb may not be practical or even possible everywhere.

    Incandescent did this without software.

      It also generated a ton of heat without software. Everything has its pros and cons.

      I’ve never seen an incandescent tube bulb but maybe they exist

      Yeah, but they are generally banned over here in the EU so it’s good rhat there’s alternatives that does the same but are also energy efficient.
