Can't control local tuya devices if internet is gone. How to fix it?

[clemente3905]

Hi all. I have about 40 tuya lights in my home.
Each one of them has a static IP reserved in the DHCP server and is configured in Home Assistant using localtuya by rospogrigio (the old ones) and tuya-local for some of them running 3.5 protocol.

Everything works fine if I have internet connection available.
Couple of days ago I had a problem with my ISP that left me offline for two days.
The big issue is that I was unable to control lights even if I had them working before and, supposedly they should be controlled locally.

Is there anything I can do to avoid this problem? For instance, I have a bunch of other devices in my smart home from shelly or meross (lights, sensors, switch, plugs etc) and they worked correctly even if internet is gone.

Any suggestion or help is greatly appreciated.
