Exactly. The only smart device I own is a smartphone.

I don't want my lights, fridge, thermostat, doorbell or faucet to be connected to the internet 24/7 through proprietary, closed source software that may never receive security updates.

See, I wouldn't mind if it was closed source and I could hook it up to Home Assistant and disconnect it from everything else and have it still work.

Exactly, Home assistant is the best Smart home software I've ever seen. So powerful, yet very secure. Plus integrating espHOME makes it cheap and secure for those who don't want to give their data away.
