Im looking for solution.
I have a c8 conected by ethernet cable and the Phillips hue bridge also conected by ethernet cable.
Ill loose internet connection periodically. During this time none of my lights conected to the Phillips bridge will work.
Im using the coco hue integration. Everything is up to date.
Is there a way to get this running locally?
Thanks for the info and help.
CocoHue does run locally, it connects directly to the bridge over the LAN.

Are you able to share a bit more about your setup, which devices do you have connected to which of the Hubs? Perhaps also about your network configuration, its recommended (I believe) that hubs like Hue and Hubitat use router assigned IP addresses so they do not change periodically.
When your internet goes down, is this just your external internet access to your ISP or does your home/local network also down? LAN/WIFI?

Adding to the above: both CoCoHue and the built-in Hue Bridge integration run exclusively locally. If they are not working when your Internet is down, something else is wrong.
In Hubitat only or in general? The Hue app also works locally by default (it can use a cloud connection if you're signed into a Hue account and away from home), so that would be another way to test.
This is my suspicion, too. If your "Internet" goes down and it's really something like an all-in-one modem/router/switch from your ISP, it could be causing other problems if it's actually that device and not (only?) your connection, among other possibilities.

One of the worst things I deal with is when certain cable modem/routers go out it takes the lan with it. Very frustrating.
