My Zigbee (Hue) lights are controlled with ZWave switches and nothing changes when I have no internet or Phillips or whoever ends up dead. The only thing that needs an internet connection currently is the voice control, but I have plans to change that as well. Everything is connected with an rPi 3 running home assistant.
