I would hope things like smart refrigerators and lightbulbs actually still operate normally when the internet is out, right? By "normally" I mean similar to "dumb" versions of the same product. So a customer could fix the issue by kicking the device off the network (disconnect the smart fridge from the ethernet / wifi, unplug the hub for your light bulbs, etc) without actually having to immediately replace them.
