Matter is also local—provisioning can be a PITA but once done I’ve been pretty happy with even the cheap Matter WiFi smart bulbs. Home Assistant supports them very well.
Cheap bulbs can be a little buggy, which usually means I need to power cycle some of them now and then.

I mainly use smart switches rather than smart bulbs. Currently I’m using the Inovelli Blue switches which use Zigbee.
