I mean, it does look nice, but to be honest I think you could've gotten Ikea's lights with the ZigBee-enabled controller (plus a dongle for your Home Assistant hardware if you don't already have one) and used that. I did that, used a Home Assistant automation to match the brightness with another dimmable wall-controlled accent light in the kitchen (both of which I usually prefer full brightness on anyway) and it's worked great so far.
