philips hue (and many others) use zigbee, which means you could set up a self hosted instance of something like home assistant and get a zigbee adapter. That way you can control the zigbee lights with open source and self hosted software, and you also have the option of keeping everything entirely local if privacy is a concern
Most smart bulbs, including Phillips and Ikea, use the open Zigbee protocol. You can use open source software like Zigbee2mqtt and/or Home assistant to control them.
