I develop my own home automation components and use MQTT to interface with HA using its MQTT integration. This gives me the freedom to have fun developing sensors, presence detection, garage door openers, etc, all still with zero reliance on "cloud". And I still benefit from a single UX and integration point on HA, which to me is the biggest value. I run HA on Docker and it's locked down as much as practical. For example, I use nginx reverse proxy and limit HA itself to 127.0.0.1:8123 -- I don't need/want anything automatically discovered on my network. I also have no need for addons. That just seems like more headaches when upgrading HA. Keeping things simple with HA has worked great.
