"No clouds" is supposed to imply "this device isn't dependent upon a cloud-hosted service of some kind". i.e. data is either stored locally or sent to another device configured by the owner, and any remote access is direct over the internet instead of being mediated by a service like a lot of IoT devices use. It's not supposed to imply "no internet". It's a solid niche IMO. I don't like buying devices that will effectively stop working if the manufacturer goes out of business or shuts down the services they're dependent upon. OTOH, there's generally a lot more effort required by the end user to get it working, so I completely understand why most manufacturers go with a service-mediated design.
