Hello,
I have bought a Tedee lock in combination with the bridge to be able to open/close/automate the lock using Home Assistant.
This worked great with the local API function. The main reason to buy this lock.
Now this night I had a maintenance window from my ISP which means my router was disconnected from the internet all night long.
The router needed a reboot to get a connection again.
But to my surprise before I rebooted the router and I had no internet connection I looked in Home Assistant and my lock became unavailable!
Which means I could not unlock my door until my internet connection restored.
What is the purpose of local API if it needs internet to operate?
