What Hacker News says
9 sourcesI use Home Assistant for doing most of what you're asking for. This integration works great for adjusting light level and temperature: https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting.
My home has an ERV and I use a couple Shelly relays (one for power and the other to boost airflow) integrated into HA to modulate the amount of fresh air I bring in, currently based on indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity. I don't have an air quality sensor, but if I had one I could easily integrate that into my automations.
In ESPHomeOne really cool thing it can do is adjust the color temperature based on the position of the sun in the sky.
The lights throughout my house are cool during the day, and warm at night. It's quite nice!

I am using Adaptive Lighting with Home Assistant & Zigbee2MQTT + Hue bulbs.
My home has never felt this "smart" before. Every time my lights turns on I find the color and brightness to be perfect.

In Circadian lighting with Home Assistant: Like f.lux, but for your houseAdaptive Lighting is also a good option for Home Assistant: https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting
I've automated all the lights in my house using Zigbee switch / dimmer modules behind the light switches on the wall. This was a very affordable option, but unfortunately I can't change the color. I can only turn lights on and off or change the brightness. I'll have to think about getting some ceiling lights with adjustable color temperature whenever I move to a new house.
One thing I really like about my current system is that it still works without any internet or network connection, or if my Home Assistant server is offline. The light switches just function normally. I think this would be a bit more complicated with controllable ceiling lights, but it could probably be done via Zigbee binding and a Zigbee wall switch.
In Circadian lighting with Home Assistant: Like f.lux, but for your houseI would like to recommend Adaptive Lighting in favor of Circadian Lighting. It has the added benefit of being able to detect if someone manually adjusts the brightness or color, and then stops the automatic adjustment for that light.
