I respectfully disagree.
E2EE is often difficult because it involves 2 or more parties at either end. You must exchange keys in some secure way and that should occur over a P2P/alternate channel. That is really hard to do when you're not in physical proximity.
In this case, you own both sides _and_ it's likely that both devices will be on the same network to connect P2P. Many of these wifi devices handle initial setup with a device2device connection that then does the Wifi hand-off.
