I am using Adaptive Lighting with Home Assistant & Zigbee2MQTT + Hue bulbs.

My home has never felt this "smart" before. Every time my lights turns on I find the color and brightness to be perfect.

The Adaptive Lighting integration for Home Assistant has been doing this for years (https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting)
Adaptive Lighting is also a good option for Home Assistant: https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting

I've automated all the lights in my house using Zigbee switch / dimmer modules behind the light switches on the wall. This was a very affordable option, but unfortunately I can't change the color. I can only turn lights on and off or change the brightness. I'll have to think about getting some ceiling lights with adjustable color temperature whenever I move to a new house.

One thing I really like about my current system is that it still works without any internet or network connection, or if my Home Assistant server is offline. The light switches just function normally. I think this would be a bit more complicated with controllable ceiling lights, but it could probably be done via Zigbee binding and a Zigbee wall switch.

I would like to recommend Adaptive Lighting in favor of Circadian Lighting. It has the added benefit of being able to detect if someone manually adjusts the brightness or color, and then stops the automatic adjustment for that light.
