are these products being discontinued with possible support for only 2 additional years?
I attribute those rumors to FUD. It would be crazy to drop support for a product line with literally millions of devices in use. But even if that were to happen, I run all of my Kasa devices (I currently have 26 in use) in pure local mode with Home Assistant, so would be unaffected by a cloud server shutdown. I'm good "for life" or at least so long as 2.4GHz Wi-Fi is a thing (presumably forever). Hell, I'm still using X-10 home automation devices from the 80's. All of this tech will certainly outlive me.
BTW, this is a great deal on great devices. I bought 2 more at this price (2 different Amazon accounts). Thx Op for the pointer!

How do you run locally? Can I run it locally using Smartthings?

Not sure if you can do it with smart things completely locally though
