Awesome that's good to hear, all my LEDs and stuff I have blocked to everything but HA at my firewall but some devices like my smart vacuum apparently NEED internet access to work at all which I was hoping it didn't. My current doorbell needs it I think but hoping to get a new doorbell and camera when I move next year.
Yep, Reolink cams can be fully local only and still work fine.
One of my key buying points for hardware is "will this run without any internet, and could I set it all up again without internet?".
This is why I'm so happy to finally have Hue on my zigbee controller. And it's why I'm always on the lookout for a second hand Valetudo compatible robovac.
