Those do sound useful. Hook it up to home assistant and send all its external requests to the DNS void.
I have mine in hass... the integration is cloud dependant.
Edit: The stuff I can do in with it in HASS is great though. I can only hope that someone figures out how to skip the cloud requirement all together like they did with some other stuff that I use.
Home assistant usually doesn't work as a backend for smart appliances like that, just as a frontend that connects to the same stuff that your smartphone app connects to. It communicates with the appliance through the original cloud service, so you can't take it entirely offline.
