Hi everyone. I recently started my Home Assistant journey by replacing Google Calendar and Keep Notes with Home Assistant. A couple of light bulbs burnt out and I want to replace them with bulbs that I can use exclusivity on Home Assistant and bypass the manufacturers app entirely. What brand should I look for?

These are standard wall mounted lights in my kitchen and my laundry room.

Edit: I'm looking to replace burnt bulbs anyway.

The bulbs are burnt out.

Do you want normal bulbs? Or do you want RGB bulbs? If you're sticking to normal bulbs, they're cheap and you are likely going to be better off with smart switches. But it does require some hardware spend.

I want them to dim as the sun comes up and brighten when the sun goes down. I'll probably also look into smart switches at some point too.
