> Shouldn't they cut power to the bulbs? Yes, but only if the light it's controlling isn't zigbee. If the light itself is Zigbee I never want that device offline, because it's frustrating to have inconsistent state when controlling it through the various ways we're used to. > A core part of my home automation is that it fails gracefully. Same. Most of my light switches have a Zigbee relay (or Shelly) behind them controlling non-Zigbee lights, and I can flip the physical switch (which still works if/when LAN or Zigbee is down) or use remotes/voice/automation through HomeAssistant. I do have a couple light switches that I've hard-wired to be always-on and the switch itself relies on HA to function, but that's only because they were hooked up to a single outlet and became much more useful as a "remote" rather than a hardwired 110v toggle.
