The devices didn't stop working, just the remote control features. You could still walk over to your thermostat/lock and press it's buttons. I'm not sure if there is a remote control infrastructure that doesn't use "the cloud" that is feasible for consumer products.

If you get a smart lock, then you expect it to be reliable. What’s the point if you still need to carry your key around or sneak into your own home from time to time?
