Did you know that the actual, original, F.lux works with Philips Hue!

This should have always been a feature of the Hue bulbs. Might have been able to justify the cost, but now they're just 4x the cost of competitors that don't need a hub.

It is a feature of the Hue bulbs being worked upon, see: https://hueblog.com/2022/07/16/natural-light-new-function-no...

Which ones that don't need a hub can you recommend? I'd like to have a sunrise simulation in my bedroom, so I only need one lamp like this, and the Hue system seems to complicated for that use case.

Ideally it should be a strong lamp. Like a 100W equivalent LED bulb.

Kinda. I never managed to get it to work.

I then tried it with home assistant a few years ago, until I finally stopped using both f.lux and leaving my lights on yellow anyway ;)
