That's actually a future project for me. I've got plenty of self hosted things going on, so adding one more just adds to the fun. Unfortunately, a lot of the upgrades to my house were done late 80s/early 90s and things I've done the last five years or so. So there's an ungodly number of incompatible light fixtures in this house. Damn led fixtures that you can't replace the light, halogen sconces, florescent tubes, and my favorite, the asshole fixture that has these fittings that currently hosts two 100000k temperature, bright as fuck, lights that I want to die, but not enough to be the fifth fixture I replace in this house.

Not sure of the compatibility, but you might look into Shelly relays to automate old fixtures, lights and switches. They just wire in parallel to the switch and sit in the electrical box behind it. Also they make GU24 to E26 adapters. I had to buy some for our outside garage lights which are also GU24 sockets as well.
