Eve requires Apple Home and Apple Home “requires” iCloud which is nodeal

It probably requires “an app” but I need something not dependant on icloud and hopefully not too laborious to calibrate

    I use Sonoff S31 plugs, then flash them with Espurna. They work in Home Assistant via MQTT, they have a website with login that works locally, and they have no cloud connections. WiFi connected, not new enough to have Matter or anything.

    Oh Ikea just came out with Matter plugs that are good. Just get your own Matter over Thread antenna and they are cloud-less (except possibly some of the stupid Matter spec stuff, not sure how Home Assistant implements it all).
