from my limited research for the past few days, tuya hub will require cloud access but you still can add to home assistant. just need to create an account over at tuya.

Typical aliexpress trick, if you click on the first link you see the price of the USB extension cable. You have to click on the adapter to see the real price.

I just picked the first links in my aliexpress search, if you search on the items maybe you can find better deals.
