Lots of open source stuff available like Mycroft in place of Alexa/Siri. The devices to control get expensive when you start buying many of them (outlets/switches/tstats/etc).
There are many plugins available that can run locally, although some require a server elsewhere, so it depends on what you want to control. If you need to control it from outside your home, again, someone elses server. So this can be a completely local option, but it has limitiations.
