I’m really really tired of privacy erosion in software and services. Matter seems cool because you can choose a privacy aware home controller but then all the extra bits offered by individual vendors still come into play.

Does anyone run multiple networks with all of their smart devices disconnected from the internet via firewall/air gap/etc? Does anything function close to what an average consumer should expect in that scenario?

All of my smart home stuff is Zigbee or z-wave. My "hub" for both is a pi4 running Home Assistant with usb dongles. I couldn't be happier with my setup. No accounts, no phoning home, just my devices and my data.

Plus all devices interoperate with each other seamlessly. 10/10 would recommend
