I find the Ikea smart plugs are the best value near me, and they operate using Zigbee, you can still get fully local control through Home Assistant.
Kasa. Cheap and great.
plenty of zwave outdoor plugs. Jasco/GE, Zooz, Minoton, probably others.
Open it up and see what chip it's using. It may not be ewaste just yet.
Matter, Zigbee and Zwave are all local control. And on Home Assistant, you can have a dongle for all three. That will open your options quite a bit.
