I have two Shelly dimmers and a four pack of Shelly wall plugs (relay with current and voltage measurement) that use a well documented json protocol. They connect using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth via an ESP which they provide documentation on so you can flash your own firmware. Very DiY friendly and low cost.
By default you can use the Shelly cloud with a phone app or point it at your own "cloud" server. They each have an internal web server you can use to configure and operate the device without any external dependencies. There's also http, UDP, and mqtt. They can be completely commissioned out of the box via 9 without needing an app or web browser if you connect to the default Wi-Fi access point served by the ESP and use json commands over http. Unfortunately I could not get my 9front laptop to connect due to a Wi-Fi association issue that needs to be fixed. There's an option where you can send/receive json strings via UDP so I enabled that and use a script which bangs out a json string using aux/dial and echo using the sys name in ndb. E.g. 'shelly brlights on' turns on my bedroom lights. I haven't looked into matter but supporting it sounds like it could be a headache as it's one of those "open" standards that requires you to join a foundation and pay a yearly fee.
