Tasmota & ESPHome are the ways to go 🙃

I have flashed all the bulbs and ceiling lights in my house and they work locally on FOSS firmware now 😉 It is not a big deal. I have very poor soldering skills, and I did this anyway.

That’s what I did 🙃 Unfortunately, some devices do not work at all without a connection to the manufacturer’s cloud, this also needs to be taken into account.

Actually yes, but it’s experimental feature. In Element (one of matrix clients) you have to enable it in “Labs” tab to use it.

Do not use YubiKey with database that is already local. Instead you can secure your online accounts.
