I want a lamp that fades on as an alarm in the morning, and doesn't require an internet connection. What options do I have?
If you're willing to go the DIY route, ESPHome might be what you're looking for.
A Sonoff controller on the lamp, linked to a small Home Assistant server (a cheap Raspberry Pi could do) wouldn't be too expensive and would run locally.
Do people really just have bare PCBs all over their house?
There's plenty of small cases or even 3D printable stuff available to put them in a nice enclosure. You could also buy something with an enclosure included, like the atom lite which I got some time ago as a cheap bluetooth proxy; https://shop.m5stack.com/products/atom-lite-esp32-development-kit
I have a lot of ESPs around the house but they are all in enclosures.
