I'm looking for a vacuum robot preferably under 500€ and with a cleaning station. My main concern is that most robot vacuum providers seem to need to be connected to the internet. Are there any providers that either don't need that, where I can block the internet connection or any other way not getting a spy in my home? I'm fine with it if some work is needed

The problem is that they are closed off systems; you need to do full on reverse engineering to even understand what you are dealing with; plus there is the fact that these appliances are expensive and, unlike people modding consoles, there isn't mutch gained for the majority of users
