I do share your concerns, but I only wanted to point out if you want to talk to Athom (and be heard), you’d really write to https://homey.app/support.
I started also with HA for this reason, while it really is local only, and I’m quite concerned about the possibility of bankruptcy (see ThermoSmart debacle, or what about the vanMoof cloud just taken down, and no one caring a f*ck about their customers), or Athom heading an other direction one day, and they let go of “the Athom/Homey cloud”, just like that.
I own a Pro 2019, and Athom support told me it could be managed for max. 2 weeks without their cloud. It is not much better for the Pro 2023 so it seems.
But, one part of the marketing yells is true if I’m right: when Home runs unattended, it does not need the cloud (if you don’t use cloud based apps that is).
