F.lux, but for Your House
I've been doing this for years with Lifx bulbs: https://github.com/adamjacobmuller/lifx/
Works really well. Lifx bulbs have excellent CRI (proper color temperature adjustments, not just fumbling with RGB) the only downside being they are not cheap. Worth it IMO though.

Wiz Light Help
Only some models are compatible AFAIK. I think you should open an issue about this on the GitHub page. https://github.com/kpsuperplane/homebridge-wiz-lan

WiZ bulbs slow to turn on
I haven't experienced this personally, but it was reported as an issue by a user of the homebridge_wiz plugin, which was subsequently updated to tickle the bulbs and keep 'em responsive. If you're interested in incorporating WiZ bulbs into a HomeKit environment, I'd say the plugin would be a win-win.

Can you choose both color and temperature at the same time?
There's some discussion of color management among the open issues of homebridge-wiz-lan that might be germane to your interests.

Can't dim below 10%?
From lurking around the repository for the homebridge-wiz-lan plugin, I gather "10" is the dimmest value a WiZ bulb will accept. Have you explored other color options for your nightlight scene? 10% "TV Time" is significantly dimmer to the eye than 10% "Cozy"

F.lux, but for Your House
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 )
Wiz bulbs will also be getting Matter support within the next year, so we'll be able to add them to HomeKit "natively".

homebridge-wiz-lan with Spex switches?
Just reading into the plugin now and it seems it was originally only built to support Wiz bulbs, and a PR was recently merged to allow for Wiz outlets too: https://github.com/kpsuperplane/homebridge-wiz-lan/pull/83
- Philips Wiz - Wiz Lan Configuration
- Homebridge plugin for Wiz smart plugs?
- I've been redecorating our house with vintage and color bulbs- The Wiz Wi-Fi bulbs are as low as $10 at big box stores, and this plugin by kpsuperplane (not mine) has worked great with them for me.
