I've got Emby tied into HA and it auto dims the lights on playback/pause with a toggle in HA to override.
A "night mode" button that starts my white noise MPD playlist in the bedroom and sets the speaker zone, turns off all the lights/decoratoins, turns on one bulb in the overhead to 1% (just enough to navigate around furniture), and turns the bedroom lamps on to medium brightness with a 10 minute auto-off.
Overhead lights and lamps tied into a common dimmer and can select different modes (lamps only, overhead only, both, etc) and color temps. Overhead lights are set to be proportional to the lamps to keep the light levels even (unless overridden to "Chernobyl mode").
Have more, but those are the ones I'm using this moment.
