I've been doing this for years with Lifx bulbs: https://github.com/adamjacobmuller/lifx/

Works really well. Lifx bulbs have excellent CRI (proper color temperature adjustments, not just fumbling with RGB) the only downside being they are not cheap. Worth it IMO though.

Apple's supported this for a while via HomeKit Adaptive Lighting as well. It's great that it's becoming more ubiquitous!

Yeah, that was released with iOS 14 in September 2020. There's very little official information or documentation I can find on it, but it's mentioned here:

I wish I could adjust the curve though. It's still too white in the evenings for me.

This is part of why I wrote my own software to do this. Lifx kinda had the feature implemented (I do no like how theirs works) but also the curve was not great. Too dim in daytime, too bright at 2am.

I'm seeing 80 CRI on their website, which isn't great.
