@eri I've had luck blocking internet access to these smart devices and using Home Assistant(run locally) to control them. I would absolutely not reccomend ever letting them connect to the internet. There have been many times these companies have suddenly decided to start charging a monthly subscription to use devices that people have already bought and paid for. Sometimes even going to the lengths of removing functionality until a subscription is paid for. You shouldn't need updates if the devices aren't connected to the internet and they can't brick your device if it isn't.
