    Phillips Hue Hub combined with ALL4HUE app can do almost anything. Once hub code loaded via the app its all runs standalone.

    Cheap & dirty solution get a timer socket !

    You want one that has a hub.

    I am surprised at the high majority of smart devices needing an internet requirement, seems a horrific oversight unless of course the intention is to collect data.

    Not so bad if the product descriptions were more accurate as they tend to be labelled as wifi devices rather than internet devices.
