Alternatives to Blynk (startrek.website)

So since Blynk have started paywalling more and more controls, and have finally reduced it to just a button and a slider...

Does anyone know any alternative apps which do a similar thing?

(Use case, I just want some kind of RGB colour space slider to update some lights on an Arduino, without having to pay a subscription for the privilege)

Since you're using an Arduino, I assume you are savvy enough: Home Assistant

And don't forget about ESPHome which is part of the Home Assistant Project and allows you to easily get your microcontrollers up and running.
