I have two hue bulbs. I made sure to get the BLE version with no hub.
In the rare scenario I change one from 20% brightness and red color (we did this for a nightlight when feeding baby, but then loved it), I do so manually by opening an app and connecting.
I can’t imagine dealing with all the “smart home” stuff people get into.
You made a great alternative suggestion, but I don't think the dismissive comment at the end was needed. Some people are thinking "I can't imagine having to use an app to change my bulb's brightness"
I'm pretty happy with my IKEA bulbs and switch. I have control over brightness and white tones with a switch that sits on my desk. No hubs, no logins, no firmware, not even an app.
