Is something wrong with this Philips wiz bulb?
You can also use the bulbs offline/without the cloud from what I've seen here: https://github.com/sbidy/wiz_light/discussions/85

Do direct control rgb light bulbs exist?
I use Phillips Wiz bulbs (https://www.wizconnected.com/en-US/consumer/products/046677603441/) and a Home-Assistant integration (https://github.com/sbidy/wiz_light). A HASS automation can set a bunch of bulbs to some color at the same time.

Need help with Wiz lights using Inovelli ZWave Dimmer.
You can eliminate needing IFTTT by either upgrading to Home Assistant, which can directly control the Wiz lights, or replace them with something compatible with Hubitat.

Apparently the CEO of OpenAI/ChatGPT is a hard-core prepper. Not concerning at all
Sonos is a bit spendy, so my solution is Home Assistant + Alexa media player + turning off the Echo mics + 3D-printed caps to hide the red light rings

Alexa + MyQ = Announcements?
When you use https://www.home-assistant.io as your Home automation hub, you can integrate it with just about anything. For example, Alexa integration is via https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/alexa/ and having Alexa speak through automations is accomplished by using HomeAssistant Add-on https://github.com/custom-components/alexa_media_player and you can integrate myq hubs to it via https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/myq/ - Then via automations you setup you can have Alexa speak (announce) when doors are opened, closed, etc. for any state change. You can also use the Alexa integration to have Alexa voice routines invoke scenes which are tied to Home assistant scripts, etc.. to open, close garage doors and so much more. HomeAssistant is all about integrations, see https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/
