Since you’re just starting out, I would recommend that you try a non-cloud integration be avoid vendor lock-in. One option is the SonoffLAN integration that will give you local control. Alternatively, and if you’re up for some hardware changes, flash it with Tasmota or ESPHome. If all of this is too technical, I would rather invest in other devices (my personal preference is Shelly, for WiFi or Bluetooth). You just started out, so you can still change direction.
I didn’t check your specific device’s compatibility with anything I mentioned.
Also check the cookbook for some great starter docs.
