I have a couple of Shelly relay switches for various purposes in a separate IoT vlan which is not connected to the cloud. The new Shelly android app not only is worse and barely functional but also pushes you to use the cloud. On top of that, they try to sell some functionality as a subscription Model. On the other hand you don't need the cloud and their http API is super well documented and does everything you would expect. I really prefer Tools like this for products like Shelly, good job!

Fortunately their cloud stuff is still optional and easy to disable on all of their current products (usually it is disabled when it is sold).

The easiest way is to ignore their apps and other cloud based components and just to run HA on a small computer that you stash away near your distribution panel.
