Will a Bond hub meet my needs for my Carro ceiling fans?

Sort of, you need to use the custom Tasmota drivers and there is possibly some complicated setup, but once working it should be solid from what I have read. Also might break it from using the vendors app, and possibly the bluetooth remote.

No, it actually would talk to the Tuya cloud system, which then talks to the fan via the internet. No local control, all cloud.

There is an option 5 which is would involve sniffing out the local DPS codes the device uses to talk to the app over local LAN communication. Then you could use a driver template others have made and customize to your devices using the reverse engineered DPS codes. I have done this for a LED light strip and it works pretty good, but not easy to get setup.

Here is a post documenting some of what I was playing around with and discovered: Discussion of local control of Tuya Smart Wifi devices without flashing firmware
