I guess I wish I had switched to zigbee earlier. I have been slowly replacing all my tuya wifi devices. Zigbee Home-assistant App and Zigbee2MQTT are both local-only. For Hygrometers, buy in bulk and expect 1 in 4 to be useless garbage. I get them on Ali for cheap.

Thanks. I would buy like 4pcs only and be disappointed, would not expect for 1 out of 4 to not work, thats good advice
