I finally had a chance to install Home Assistant and configured Frigate to work with it and added a Aeotec Zwave/Zigbee antennae to pair with my front door lock. I was also able to create a dashboard for my Amazon Fire HD10 tablets.

Now I wanna automate my lights.

I want to start with the downstairs area and replace 8 BR30 bulbs and 10 A19 bulbs

What’s the best route to go with?

Budget is ~$200-$250

Prefer bulbs that change colors via automation if possible.
