I’ve got a cheap salt lamp with a LED inside and it runs on a 5V wall wart. I think it originally had a USB plug but I cut that off and connected it to an old 5V power supply.

I’ve never used esp32, but I’ve been doing some reading and it seems like an esp32-c6 will allow me to do this with ZigBee.

Does this sound reasonable? Are there other options I should consider?

    I did a similar project with a raspberry pi pico w and a glitter lamp. I ended up destroying the surface mount LEDs trying to solder them in to the board and instead replaced them with my own. The stirring motor was good, and a button to control it from the outside was a nice addition. Put the whole thing together with ESP Home and it’s fantastic. Also allowed me to switch from disposable batteries to a standard USB cable for power.
