My lights automatically change their color temperature and brightness throughout the day. There is more to smart lights than on and off.

Do they need internet connection to do that? I have the same behaviour with a dumb light that just has some circuits to control the LED.

No smart devices needed to change Color/brightness dynamically.

Mine is done using Home Assistant, so no internet is required.
