I got Sonoff relay switch, you can use guest account for it. But yeah all these smaet thing require a server and internet connection, so creating an account is mandatory in most case. One time my internet is down outside my control and i can't switch on my ventilation fan and have to use the manual switch on it, it's quite annoying. Kinda wish there's one made for just local because i don't need to use it remotely.

If you're willing to take the time to learn, you could always setup your own local home assistant server.

I personally love having full control over my smart devices locally, as well as being able to use a variety of different brands seamlessly!

The learning curve can be rather steep though, especially if you aren't already tech savvy.
