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

Philips Hue are actually simply zigbee. You can reset them and use any zigbee base station, completely disconnecting them from Philips. I personally just have a USB dongle I got and run zigbeetomqtt. I know they come at a premium, but they’re still the best I’ve used. However if you choose to do a host yourself option you can also mix and match them.
So smart plugs with zigbee, got it :)
No, the HUE lightbulbs themselves support ZigBee.
Ok? Not sure what is mean otherwise, I compared Hue Bulbs because they work without needing Home/iCloud and they are a model for what I would like from a potential Smart plug
