From a SecOps standpoint, it's perfectly reasonable to block such devices from hitting your servers.

Then they should give users a way to replicate the lost features on their own server. That'd be the user's own risk.

I know that no company does that. Doesn't make it right.

Don't buy IoT bullshit, kids.

TP-link does. My Kasa devices work completely locally.

Also, you can get (certain) dirt cheap Tuya based devices and flash tasmota on it. Esphome is also a possibility.

I build most of my own smart devices, though.
