I want them wifi connected at least so I can set my own schedule or control with Home Assistant. They don't need to connect to any server except my own.
I would think Bluetooth or plugging it in once in a blue moon for a firmware/schedule update like the good old days would be far preferable to anything that could connect them to the internet. I’d much rather air gapped and slightly inconvenient than internet enabled spyware all over my house.
Bluetooth wouldn't save you from that.
