Advanced hopefully means set it and forget but in a good way!

I've got some lights on timers and I've got some on controllers/apps. The ones on controllers/apps with ramping ability definitely makes a big difference in the ways I get to view my tanks. I like to think it makes it less stressful to the fish than sudden on/off. When my lights start ramping down, my fish all start "getting ready for bed". I'm sure they'd develop a rhythm with plain old on and off, but now they have some warning that lights out is imminent.
HA!!! I just used the "set it and forget it" too ;-)

DAILY QUESTION: How do you think the Natura iCon’s advanced programming capabilities will enhance your reefing routine?

An easier programming setup that is user friendly will help me. I hated other how other LED lighting programs worked.

DAILY QUESTION: What are the benefits of having a light that is both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth compatible?

My system is in a sunroom and has poor Wi-Fi out there. Bluetooth is the answer!

DAILY QUESTION: What tips do you have for new aquarists about choosing the right reef lighting?

Do not go for cheap lights on Amazon. Use one that had research behind its design.
