I have a Hubitat Elevation for Aqara temperature/humidity/pressure sensors mostly. They all run locally. I'd like to throw some smart LEDs in the mix for ambient lighting. What's a good, non enshittified vendor?
For strips, if you're ok with wifi, HE supports local control of Kasa devices, which is made by TP-Link. Otherwise your best bet is something Zigbee-controlled but I don't have a particular recommendation.
Check the HE forums[1], too, they're very active and full of recommendations, driver links, and experience reports.
