      Yup, Zigbee all the way! Although that new Matter protocol seems kinda promising as well

        You also have wifi with tasmota or esphome. Some products come with optional cloud features turned off by default (and no automatic updates), like Shelly. You can also flash them, but the factory firmware is so unobtrusive that I don’t bother.
