What is a good starter setup for ZigBee? (lemmy.ca)

I am looking for a setup that does not need to phone home to the vendors servers. Is the Philips Hue Bridge a good hub? Can you work with most of the Philips Hue stuff without phoning home?

I'd also recommend Tubeszb Zigbee controllers. They are fantastically reliable, and there is a large group of users on the Home Assistant community forum. I've been running mine for well over a year. I've had one issue that I caused, and he replaced it next day. Since then 0 issues with over 50 zigbee devices in a very congested wireless area.
