This Sylvania light works with Siri (and other devices, possibly) with no need for a hub or any other device:

It can be changed to many colors and can be dimmed.

It dims from 1-100%. All controlled by a smart phone or verbally through Alexa.

I’ve had one for 6 years now. I started in 2015 just as a holiday reminder, and then decided to leave in in all year round. Last year I noticed a house on the next block replaced their sidewalk entry lamp with one as well. I would encourage everyone to consider it.
