Color temperature is actually quite OK with simple remotes. Like the IKEA remote control used left and right arrows to change between stark white, warm yellow and happy medium.
Problem is non-smart bulbs with smart wall-switch can't change color temperature. Theoretically I suppose there could be a switch/bulb combo, where the switch is Zwave/ZigBee enabled, and somehow communicate with the bulb. But I don't think anything like that exists. It'd probably be very expensive if it did
My mistake, I read that as just color, not temp
They do have zigbee switches that can be programmed to specific devices, but I don't know of any that have temp selectors on them.
