I went Z-Wave with home assistant. Not the easiest in terms of setup, but everything is run locally (I started on an rPi but am now transitioning to a Intel NUC.)

I did the same, and I couldn't be happier with it.

Home assistant is open source, written in Python, has a web based UI, and integrates with everything under the sun and is VERY welcoming to new components from outside people.

I've contributed 2 so far, and I hope to have another that adds in daily electricity monitoring from my local power company ready soon.

Hass is quite possibly the best run open source project I've ever been involved in.
