look into home assistant. you can unlink almost every device from their cloud and run them locally. No internet connection needed.

I use it for WAY more than lights. I can monitor and control my 3D printer and weed grow, remotely. Now I have ONE app for all my IOT devices

I luckily dont really have any IOT devices

I love that my lights turn off 15 minutes after I leave home, and turn on as I enter. I don't touch light switches ever.

also they all dim according to the sun setting and rising, so they are always the perfect brightness. And helps my sleep schedule.

When I walk into a friends place at night and the lights are all searingly bright white I cringe

Well I mean you do you. I will not be changing all my lights and such. I have thought of putting home assistant on my little server but I literally have nothing to connect to it except maybe my raspberry pi running octoprint.

I love being connected to my printer's remotely through home assistant. I can cancel a job if I see it is failing
