If you're looking to buy IoT stuff, you should try Xiaomi. Not only their stuff works, even when you block Xiaomi servers, but it can still be controlled remotely from an independent server. Although they are probably not happy about that lol. (i realize how much this sounds like an ad, but I'm too excited that it actually works :D)

    Although disclaimer: I'm blocking only their DNS requests(plenty of), if they are sneaking some telemetry below that, I wouldn't know.

    Why tho, most disadvantages of IoT I heard are:

    Low security, which you can get around by not letting the devices touch the outer internet.

    Dependency on manufacturer, which is non existent here.

    Although it is true that literally all you need is the IP to control it, but assuming foreign devices can't get on your network, that shouldn't be a problem right?

    Btw I realized "independent" as in your own. No other server will attempt to contact your shit if you block Xiaomi servers
