Any IR blasters that run locally via edge drivers

i know you can link switchbot or aqara M2 to smartthings now bc of matter but are there any edge drivers for local control? really trying to minimize cloud reliance.

TIA

There are several options, most notably bond, the old harmony hub, and a bunch of offbrands that can work with tasmota software.

See the following discussion:
