"Dumb" home devices work as expected for 25-50 years, and then you replace them.

"Smart" home devices work as expected for about a year and then they fail in new and exciting ways, and then you replace them.

This is exactly why I’ve started only buying smart devices that work with Home Assistant and don’t rely on cloud services.

Ditto. Landlord shoved ecobees onto us after their developer program shuttered, and when internet connected they misbehave.

Curious to hear what local polling or local push thermostat you settled on with HA support!

Not the person you are asking. I'm partial to all Shelly stuff. So far very reliable and the price is ok. They do have a cloud but it is entirely optional.
