Or if you really want to use a phone
Yes. It's a £10 item. Fit once, works for years.
Should it eventually fail, the top can be removed and replaced in seconds, no tools required.
Electronic IP44 Photocell Kit
This Meridian photocell kit is for use with various external lighting fixtures. It's perfect for bulkheads, floodlighting, post top lighting or streetlights - it will switch lights off when lighting levels are sufficient (dawn) and will automatically switch them back on when lighting levels drop...

Does not need any internet connection, WiFi, phone apps, talking spyboxes, remote servers or any similar crap.
Not solar, which means lights will be on during summer full daylight, and £52 versus £10 for a smart plug, on ebay.
Better, but still £53.
Fine, but absolutely no fancy control of it, and the lights will be on, the entire time it is dark, unless a timer is added, at more expense.
