I bought Hue lights and had the app on my phone set to turn the lights off when I leave the proximity of the house, and turn them on when I return. I got the full kit (bridge and 3 bulbs) from ebay for around $90 and works well.

I got the Philips hue 2 bulbs the ones that chnage colors. They had a deal with the white ones that came with the bridge and not the color ones. That was probably my mistake. I should have gotten the bridge. But didn't want the color changing ones.

You should still be able to buy a bridge separately and connect those bulbs to it.
After looking into it, it looks like you can also use the Hue Bluetooth app if you want to control just those lights, and upgrade to a bridge later:

You can buy a bridge from here, or from Amazon if you want one slightly cheaper:

For that price you could get like 10 motion sensor bulbs which people have mentioned.

That is true. Just offering another scenario. Hope you figure something out.
