Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I have smart lights because I like the light to get warmer throughout the day but that's it, does anyone have a foss solution? Google is unhelpful.
Home assistant and its various alternatives
This is the correct answer. The bulb itself doesn't necessarily have to be FOSS. Really you just need bulbs operating on something other than wifi, and ideally without a proprietary hub. Hue bulbs can be made to run on ZigBee. Z-Wave bulbs also exist. Then controlling them should happen through HA. If it's just LED strips, ESP controlled ones are a great option.
Easy difficulty: arduino + LED strip
Medium difficulty: cheapest stm32 + LED strip
Hard difficulty: cheapest chinese 8051 microcontroller + LED strip
Electric difficulty: timer relays + regular lightbulbs
Novichok: discrete logic + opamp + lots of passive components + LED strip
Soviet engieneering: discrete logic + opamp + lots of passive components + thyristors + light bulbs
I was about to suggest photoresistors/photodiodes for the lolz. I must be a communist.

Ikea has pretty good "smart" bulbs. They use zibee, so you don't need their controller. You can use a raspberry pi with a usb zigbee antenna connected to it, and Home Assistant installed to give you all the features you would want, while keeping it 100% local.
Dimmable light switch
I said warmer not dimmer, plus that wouldn't be automatic.
Doesn't affect bulb temp unless they're a very specific, not very good brand of bulbs that Tech Connections loves/hates.
