I'm looking to replace an existing Hue setup and some dumb lamps, especially since Hue is hiding basic functionality behind a user account these days. I'm thinking of going with Nanoleaf instead.

What I have right now:

• Bridge: Hue bridge
• Living room: Hue pendant light + Hue E27 bulb, controlled by a Hue switch and optionally synced to a Linux PC running Huenicorn
• Bedroom: Hue ceiling light, controlled by two Hue switches
• Guest room: Dumb LED light
• Bathroom: Dumb LED light

What I want to install:

• Bridge: SLZB-06* for Matter+Thread, optionally talking to a Home Assistant instance
• Living room: 2x 3-pack Nanoleaf Skylight, controlled by a Sense+ switch and optionally synced to a 4D V1 camera
• Bedroom: Nanoleaf E27 bulb, controlled by two Sense+ switches
• Guest room: Nanoleaf E27 bulb, controlled a Sense+ switch
• Bathroom: Nanoleaf E27 bulb, controlled a Sense+ switch

Now there's a few questions I have:

• Would this setup work or am I missing something? Nanoleaf's website is quick to mention several home automation hubs, none of which I want to operate.
• Can I actually sync the Skylights with the 4D camera? The documentation only seems to talk about the corresponding light strips.
• Is there another option for screen syncing that works with Linux?
• Can I set a bulb to change its color temperature on a fixed cycle? If so, I could skip one of the Sense+ switches.
• If Nanoleaf's stuff is unsuitable for my needs, is there another alternative that isn't Hue?
