I try to avoid IoT stuff that relies on someone running cloud services (not always successfully). Buying Zigbee instead of wifi stuff seems a good bet - a quick Google tells me whether Zigbee2MQTT supports the device, then I can guarantee it can all be handled locally with Home Assistant. Bought a DECT based baby monitor for the same reason - it's guaranteed to all be local. In many ways a wifi baby monitor would have been more useful, but so hard to know if it will be local or cloud based.
