An update on this.
So I went with the Sylvain LED here per the recommendation above: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R1PB80I/
I connected it to Hubitat but the generic driver wasn't working well, I ended up changed it to Generic Zigbee RGBW Light which gave me much better results. (Side: Is there anyone I should ping about that so it's automatic for new users?).
It's been great so far.
I've set up a few rules that have been great with high Wife and Kids approval;
- Turn on dimmed along with the main overhead light at 7:30pm and turn off at 9:00pm (if not already off)
- From Sunset -60min to Sunrise +60min - follow the behavior (on/off) of the main overhead light. And when main overhead is turned off, remain on for 3 min.
Both of these I made through the Hubitat Simple lighting app.
On issue I ran into, if I use the "set level and turn on" item in the app, they won't turn on. But just "turn on" will. Odd, but fine for what I need.
Next up (maybe) is to give them a button to control the LED only at very specific times of evening/night.
For this, I'm wondering if there would be a way to get one of the Pico buttons to randomly change the colors of the light (or even no-so random) so they could have a little bit of controlled fun?
