I thought they made smart lightbulbs (I have some "WiZ" ones installed in fact).

  I was worried it was that WiZ, luckily it's not Their bulbs are one of the few WiFi bulbs that don't require an app to operate (only for the initial configuration)

    Can you elaborate on this? The app (both versions!) barely works, and they don’t appear to be compatible with Apple Home like others.

      You can use a Python library/tool to control them (https://github.com/sbidy/pywizlight https://github.com/sbidy/pywizlight), which means Home Assistant supports them out of the box. In my setup I have Home Assistant running on an N100 mini PC and that's what I use as an HomeKit bridge. If possible I'd use ZigBee or Z-Wave bulbs (or even better, switches) though.

    Shelly does not require an app at all. Initial setup can be done via the WIFI AP it generates by default. Cloud is a checkbox in the app/web interface. https://shelly.guide/add-a-shelly-to-your-wi-fi-through-web-interface/ https://shelly.guide/add-a-shelly-to-your-wi-fi-through-web-...
