Just registered to echo this opinion.
I have a smart home and I value my privacy as well as my indepence from other clouds.
Having a device that only works when sending data to the internet and then having to read it back to display it locally is an absolute no-go for me.
I’d gladly buy the Gen 2 Vue if I had the option of doing everything locally.
Since that is not an option, I’ll have to shop for something else.
