Are there any HomeKit-compatible E12 bulbs out there that don't cost an arm and a leg? Specifically, I refuse to pay $25 or more for a single bulb. That's you, Philips Hue White Ambiance Decorative Candle 40W Dimmable LED Smart Bulb.

Alternatively, maybe someone has an idea for my dilemma/conundrum. I have a small mushroom-shaped IKEA desk lamp in the far right corner of my desk used mostly for when I need to make video calls to improve overall illumination. Instead of leaning over every time I want to turn it on I would like to have a possibility to turn it on and off from my iMac, either using Apple's Home app (aka HomeKit) or any other application. I do have a free Sonoff WiFi switch but I have not yet found a way to control that from my Mac instead of my iPhone. Any ideas?
