ZigBee RGB Lightbulb w/o 3rd party app (lemmy.ml)

Any recommendations for a ZigBee RGB Lightbulb w/o 3rd party app - at least not a closed source app.

I heard the Phillips Hue works well but I'd like to be able to install and configure the bulbs with Home Assistant (or another open source app at a minimum). Any suggestions?

I use bulbs I've bought from IKEA and Lidl. Because they're ZigBee they're local. The "Hub' is HA because I have a ZigaZiga https://electrolama.com/projects/zig-a-zig-ah/ usb stick.

I use ZigBee2MQTT in HA to route commands to my bulbs (and sensors and plugs) which routes ZigBee commands through my MQTT broker which is also in HA.

The only app I use is the Home Assistant app
