Adaptive Lighting also works with the cheaper Philips Wiz bulbs, provided you use HomeBridge. ( I'm using this plugin for Wiz support: https://github.com/kpsuperplane/homebridge-wiz-lan#readme ) There's probably a Home Assistant plugin too ...
Wiz bulbs will also be getting Matter support within the next year, so we'll be able to add them to HomeKit "natively".
I haven't found anything to suggest that Philips owns or operates the Wiz brand? Where did you find that information? More for my own curiosity than anything.
