Dev Team lets Talk about the LIFX Switch
One of the more mature Python implementations is Photons to which I am a contributor. Another is aiolifx to which I am also a contributor.

Are LIFX themes' RGB or HSV values clearly available anywhere?
A couple of these got close https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs5FKsPlnw0 but not really (https://github.com/delfick/photons/blob/main/modules/photons_canvas/animations/registered/color_cycle.py)

Basic questions about the Switch
Not with the LIFX app, but you could use the empty relays to trigger things with Home Assistant relatively easily by leveraging Photons Interactor.

Way to program custom effects on LIFX bulbs?
Yeah, probably something like this example https://github.com/delfick/photons/blob/main/examples/cycle_rainbow.py (though I prefer writing scripts using the task system, but this is one of my examples showing how to skip that)

LIFX LAN Help
Photons is really useful for this. If you run lifx lan:attr _ GetService --debug it will output the packets it sends and receives in hex.

Valetudo – Cloud replacement for vacuum robots enabling local-only operation
If you provided MQTT support like plenty of IoT companies do, then any open source home automation tool can integrate! Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/) have a grading system, so a local-first implementation would give you their highest score since they also really care about privacy. https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2016/02/12/classifying-th...
