Smart lights should be used rarely because they have a failure state. Smart switches are the answer here for most lighting. These are light switches that also have radios in them to connect to zigbee/zwave/matter/whatever to control the switch if the connection is available.

Lutreon sells high quality, but somewhat expensive ones that work flawlessly.

I like the color temperature and brightness of my lights responding to the time of day too much in order to go with smart switches over smart lights
