Smart light bulb suggestions (lemmy.trippy.pizza)

I'm completely out of the smart lights loop and I'm looking for light bulbs that allow me to set brightness, color temperature and possibly the color in general using HA.

I see a lot of people recommending zigbee bulbs, which is fine, I just need to buy a dongle, but I already have an isolated wifi network with no internet access that I use to control smart stuff from my home server, so something with wifi would be ideal. I want something that I can just screw in and control from my server with no proprietary apps needed for the initial configuration.

Can you give me some recommendations?

Thanks

I used to run Wyze bulbs over wifi, but they were too unreliable and didn't always respond to commands. Switched to ZigBee with Thirdreality bulbs, they respond much quicker and are far more reliable than the Wyze bulbs ever were.
