@stephen@ephemera.vital.org.nz z-wave, though it’s expensive, ZigBee, and Thread - home assistant has details on setting up your own Thread border router, though there’s likely some premade thread routers that don’t talk to the internet.
Most of Ikea’s smart home products are Thread.
I now use all three of those - Hue ZigBee lighting, Ikea Thread air quality monitor, ZWave smart switches since I’ve had those the longest

@stephen@ephemera.vital.org.nz z-wave has the advantage of not using 2.4Ghz, but the disadvantage of using region specific frequencies so you can’t import it without making sure it’s the NZ/AU frequency model.
