I second HomeAssistant. Plenty of devices that don’t need the cloud, and plenty of DIY devices you can build if you’re handy like that. Been a significant push recently for IR transmitters and for RF Tx/Rx so that “dumb” devices can be controlled smartly; no cloud necessary (unless you want it)

IR transmitters Are you into that? I recently started fighting with my stupid ceiling fans and their IR remotes. Would like to get them into HomeAssistant, but are IR transmitters any good across rooms? Or would you have a transmitters right by the receiver and the transmitter speaks some other language for longer distance communication?
