Has anyone identified a bulb manufacturer that can control color by ISY?

My specific use case is simple - I want the bulb to be warm white at night and cool white at day when switched on.

Would appreciate any guidance from the community. Thx!

Any zwave (if you have zwave board), hue, lifx, and magic home, bulb can be controlled. A quick search on the forum will add more to that list.

You'll need the network module and/or polyglot to make the rest happen

Just get the Philips "Warm Glow" bulbs (Home Depot) and control them from an Insteon LampLinc plug in dimmer. Apparently they dim down quite low with the smaller yellow LED as the Cooler white and larger LED fades out. I have none.

I use Magic Home bulbs controller by python3 code in my polisy (formerly RPi) and my ISY controls that by Network Resources packets, for full RGBWW lighting. For MagicHome compatible bulbs look for the cell phone app or bulbs with the RGBW letters, all in circles on the sides of the bulbs. Easiest way is the use the MagicHome NR with polyglot on a RPI/polisy/ or cloud polyglot server.

For the simple purpose you have, you might give a thought to LiFX White to Warm bulbs.  They have an astonishing range of color temperatures, from 1500K to 9000K.  You can connect them to your ISY if you want with the LiFX nodeserver, but there's really no need (the API is local, no cloud involved, just your WiFi).  The LiFX app will let you manage the color temperature changes, so the bulbs can automatically change temperature based on your requirements.
