      A good start-

      Zwave and zigbee are 100% local by design.

      Anything running an esp chip is usually flash able.

      Check home assistants integration list for things you are considering buying.

      Cloudfree.shop has a lot of local only devices

          I’d highly recommend at least giving it a try. Every single month, they keep making it better and better.
