I'm not saying your wrong, but I also don't understand the use case? Maybe I'm a Luddite, but things like like dimmers, motion sensors and two way light switches seem to meet my needs well. It's also not difficult to buy high CRI lights in the color temperature we like.
What am I missing?
Mine are all on schedules to gradually turn on in the morning and off in the evening. I very rarely set an alarm for the mornings, as the lights gently wake me up. The gradual evening dimming is also quite effective at making me go to bed at a reasonable hour without much effort.
Off the top of my head.
Adjusting from the sofa, or bed.
Auto off when you leave the house.
Auto off when the room is unused for a while (great with kids).
Colour temperature and brightness adjustment to match sunlight (great for conditioning children to go to bed easily).
Party Mode
Auto dim turn on at night(avoids waking you up to much on bathroom runs).
