Home assistant will do it, there's a plugin to setup color lighting cycles.
Probably not the easiest way, but it'll open up a whole world of automation for you.

My gear is Hue bulbs, Bridge, iOS for our purposes (I have a Mac to setup anything its useful for but it won't be on all the time like any server stuff)
If you're somehow tech-savy go iobroker. Its5like homeassistant but on steroids. There's nothing you can't do. Do your logic by moving blocks or pure Javascript. Things you could do?
-
your cars gets near the house => unlock door, open garage-door, turn on lights
-
you leave home? Let your sonos-speaker tell you which doors/windows are still open or if you left the stove on. Let it Ask you if it should enable the alarm and then switch on the ip-cams and set the system to armed and lock the doors.
-
have a tablet display the weather-forecast, the climates around the house, the fuel-prices near you and what's on your shopping-list.
-
have multiple light-scenes (or air-condition or fans or...) on a key at each rooms entrance. Or voice-controled. But not between 2200h and 0600h. Except Sundays. Unless it's bright outside. Or you're on holiday. Or YOU are not home but a burglar.
This is part of my setup. Endless possibilities ๐
The hue app has something like that under Automation.
If you have Home Assistant, there's a tool that automatically changes brightness and colour temperature. You'll need a Home Assistant server to use it, though.
