This doesn't meet your criteria for not phoning home, but still worth sharing: I use Logitech Harmony Hub and find the experience of using it with Hass to be excellent.
Harmony is really good at onboarding devices and has a huge library of supported devices, but the interface for using them is awful. Hass makes it much easier to build simple multi-device remotes, and to create nice automations. (Harmony's version of this is utterly useless)
You also get a nice physical remote to use with it too, which I'm personally not interested in but the less technical members of my family love it.
Worth considering I think. You can always block the phoning home using Pi-hole, as I have.
Thanks. I'll take a look, keeping an eye out for phoning home. :)
