Resource for finding open source or local/privacy-minded devices? (lemmy.world)

I'm getting tired of having to download an app just to set up a device. Ive been trying to get only ZigBee devices since most are plug-and-play but theres still some that require the whole app and registration dance.

I recall on the hass.io website being able to search integrations by communication protocol (in my case local polling/local push) but I can't seem to find it anymore.

I don't know about the hass.io site, but I approach this question from the opposite end - a list of ZigBee devices supported by the various ZigBee controllers:

Just look for the logo of the controller software you use in the section for the type of device you're interested in.

Is this your site? If it is, thanks! It’s usually my go to for figuring out what is supported, links to what the pairing process is etc.
