    May I suggest the use of ZigBee protocol devices instead of WiFi or Tuya. You will need a ZigBee dongle in HA but it will work locally without cloud intervals.Zigbee also creates a mesh network , so it has less connectivity issues. It should be noted that not all kinds of sensors and devices use the ZigBee protocol.

      I already use ZigBee devices along with some Z-Wave stuff, but it was kind of a pain to set it all up with Home Assistant. To be fair, my setup is also quite complicated, but there are definitely some steps in the configuration process that could be easier.
