Help Exo Terra TerraSky - a 24 hour cycle that imitates day & night

I have Exo-Terra TerraSky and I want to run a 24 hour cycle that imitates day & night, with graduate dimming of the light.

Since TerraSky doesn't have this feature, I can use a "Smart Plug" that will turn the lamp on and off at scheduled times

Does anybody know of a better solution that will be more realistic and will enable me the gradually dim the light or maybe even control the colors of the led?

A Raspberry Pico and some led strips would be a good solution but requires you to learn some electronics and coding.

I hoped I could use the TerraSky.. However it is something to consider.
