  I ended up going down the matter, home assistant, HomeKit route so I have some options for local network control.

    That’s primarily what I seek out, but my rental has the Honeywell.

    Have you found a decent matter thermostat? I’d love to get one when I get a house

  If you are into that: then tplink kasa switches and plugs can be reconfigured via hs100 app on git hub, so that they only look local and don’t try to reach out to a remote server. You can use the app to connect them to your local WiFi. Then you can control them via home assistant locally (or remotely) and not rely on a corporate server and android app for use

    I actually have a few of the Matter supported Kasa smart switches.

    They work incredibly well, but they still haven’t been updated to Matter 1.3 so no power consumption statistics in Home Assistant.
