Older Wemo switches can work locally with Home Assistant using the wemo integration, which communicates via UPnP without cloud dependency. You can also flash some models with alternative firmware like Tasmota if you're comfortable with that.
Any good youtube videos you'd suggest for how to do this? I haven't taken the leap to using HA, but have heard good things and considered it. If it would keep my old Wemos alive, I'd do it!
