Hi everyone! I’ve done a basic amount of research but thought I’d ask my questions here.

TLDR: I want a light to be turned on to be dim at dusk, brighten when I arrive home, and then shortly after revert back to be dim.

I just moved and am starting to build my smart home setup. I am an Apple person so have used HomeKit for my parents, and have a Apple TV as a home hub.

One thing I really want to do is this:
Dusk- porch light turns on dim When I arrive home- porch light changes color and becomes brighter 10 minutes later- light returns to first mode.

So basically, home kit is not what I want. I am working of trying IFTTT, but need more time to connect everything as it’s not working currently. I just don’t like how in Apple you can’t have a light have a background to always revert back too. I have thought about just having the light on a motion sensor, but then it would be completely off and just look dark…

Sorry if this is confusing, basically I just want to see what apps people are using. Thanks for all your help!
