Smart Home · Zigbee / Z-Wave Hubs

Can I run a Zigbee/Z-Wave hub fully locally without the cloud?

Reviewer consensus

Yes. Hubitat Elevation and Home Assistant (using the Connect ZWA-2 for Z-Wave or a SONOFF dongle for Zigbee) are the platforms most often cited by specialist communities for fully local automations. SmartThings/Aeotec and Aqara rely on a mix of local and cloud execution depending on the routine.
