What you’re looking for is the CloudKey. It is the local Controller and can be accessed via “the Cloud” if needed, but not mandatory. I tried running the Java controller on my Mac, it worked but sucked. Having an independent dedicated piece of hardware is worth every penny IMO.

Yeah, but that's another device to pay for unfortunately.

To each, their own. In my case, the ease of use was worth every penny. If I take my hourly rate and apply that to how long I spent trying to setup a controller on a raspberry pi, then I could’ve bought 2 or 3 CloudKeys.
