As promissed, I am sharing my experience with local connection to various different brand smart sockets, all connected to Tuya cloud.
Currently I use:

https://www.gosund.com/download/smart_plug/126.html
https://www.gosund.com/download/smart_plug/125.html
https://www.gosund.com/download/smart_plug/128.htmlThey all work perfectly with TuyaSmart and Smart Life application and work also without the issues with official Tuya integration for HomeAssistant https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tuya/
The problem is, that this option controls sockets via cloud and does not support power monitoring.The best alternative probably is tuya-convert https://github.com/M4dmartig4n/tuya-convert
But… the process is not so easy and some of the devices can not be flashed due the different chipset.Subzero79 did the great work creating node-red node for controlling tuya devices locally https://github.com/subzero79/node-red-contrib-tuya-local
Unfortunatelly guy at the end flashed all of his devices to Tasmota and project is not supported anymore and also instructions are not easy to follow. To help you to avoid spending nights googling, I promissed to make also to people with less programming knowledge (like me) with the instructions.
