Universal ESP8266 based WiFi light/appliance controls

I swear these guys at itead are extremely slow to understand how their app works and what users are looking for.
Today there was a app update to allow RF bridge support (ya they make a learning RF bridge though nowhere near the  Broadlink RM)
This update, although doesn't mention it, it appears to have added support for local control for my Sonoff (their version of it at least)
The kicker is the app still needs internet access.

Why does an app that allows local control (intranet only) require internet access?  Well, other than for the obvious data mining.

  Maybe local control translates to something else in Chinese.
Trying to get info from them is brutal
