addon-wireguard VS adaptive-lighting

I am fairly new to Wireguard and set it up using the add-on from Home Assistant. Git Link

There are three major cloud components. Alexa and Google integrations both have open options that are documented by NC and you are welcome to use them. There’s a lot of setup as you need to deal with a semi-complex config on AWS or GCP which can be challenging if you’re new to those environments, but they work as well as the paid NC option.

The remote access proxy service doesn’t really have an open equivalent but there are tons of other supported solutions out there for secure remote access to your Home Assistant install. One example add-on, developed and supported by an NC employee: https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-wireguard

In short, the paid cloud services provide an easier path to solutions you can deploy for yourself if you wish. Those services cost NC money to host, so asking for money isn’t too far out there. Of course, that money is more than what the cloud parts cost, and what we all get in return is a team of skilled developers working on the project and releasing everything for free.

I'm running two Raspberry Pi 3 B+ on my network. One is running PiHole (w/ DHCP Server), and the other is running Home Assistant OS with WireGuard (https://github.com/hassio-addons/addon-wireguard).

I use Home Assistant for doing most of what you're asking for. This integration works great for adjusting light level and temperature: https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting.

My home has an ERV and I use a couple Shelly relays (one for power and the other to boost airflow) integrated into HA to modulate the amount of fresh air I bring in, currently based on indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity. I don't have an air quality sensor, but if I had one I could easily integrate that into my automations.

Are you using any sort of home automation system (Google, Alexa, Siri, other) or just using the Kasa app? I use Home Assistant along with the Adaptive Lighting integration with my bulbs and LED strips, which works on circadian rhythm and does exactly what you're wanting to do.

My home has never felt this "smart" before. Every time my lights turns on I find the color and brightness to be perfect.

If you're starting from scratch with a new build, I would recommend Home Assistant with the Adaptive Lighting Custom Component.

Personally, I use this Integration within my home automation hub. It took all of 5-10min to set up, didn't require any additional hardware, works with all of my existing bulbs and strips with CT and/or brightness control, updates my lights every 90s, and slowly transitions to the next setting over a 45s period. Any time I make manual adjustments to any light, it holds that setting until I turn the light off.

Probably not the solution you're looking for, but I use Adaptive Lighting with Home Assistant. Doing it at the hub level (instead of the bulb or app level) means you aren't restricted to a specific brand/protocol. As long as the light has dimming and CT controls, it just works. (I use it with several different LED strips and several different smart bulbs.)

I think the best method to do this is with this home assistant integration: https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting

Any CCT capable light will be able to achieve this, but the level of automation will depend on the app/hub you pair them with. Inovelli, Ikea, and Philips have some good options, but will all require an appropriate Zwave/Zigbee hub. Personally, I run Home Assistant in conjunction with the Adaptive Lighting Add-On to handle the CT automations.
