Ring, Ring, why don't you give me a call? Amazon-owned doorbells aren’t answering after large-scale outage

Escalator/Elevator Rule

Have a few bits and bobs "automated" at home, no Ring doorbell though. Whenever I'm setting something up I always try and think of the Escalator/Elevator rule.

If an escalator is broken, you can still go up and down the stairs, not so much with an elevator, so any lights/blinds, etc I've setup, they work via a hard switch, in case online stuff is inaccessible.
