Can someone explain to me what this ecosystem is and the appeal of it?

I have nothing automated in my life, that I know of? I don't have a garage; the door to the house has a key; the lights I turn on with a switch; no Alexa, don't use Siri... I am not exactly opposed to automation, but I am hesitant to share even more demographic data to cloud services.

Changing the color of white during the day is amazing. Having daylight temp bulbs at night is just "rude". Having the warm temp color during the day is much less "rude". Having the best of both worlds with one light and not having to think about it is pretty amazing.

Other than that, I just enjoy having the remote ability of turning lights on/off from my couch. I don't even have mine accessible via WAN, so it's not like "oh I forgot to turn off the lights" after leaving the house. they're LEDs, so I don't care!

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.
