I'd connect it to wifi maybe. I wouldn't connect it to the Internet.
When it comes to home automation I'm generally onboard, but it's local control or nothing.
That's a good strategy. You can do a lot of smart home automation with two separate networks, where one has Internet access and the other doesn't.
Here's a reminder, keep your old routers, having an extra can really come in handy.
Will wifi switches locked down to home network only still function?
You can have a WiFi access point that isn’t connected to the internet. A lot of consumer devices will complain but that’s not WiFi’s problem.
