You can still run the smart switches locally if you have the ones that support matter. But yeah, the old ones do require internet connection, which sucks.

I got them to work by putting them on the IOT vlan and only letting them talk to homeassistant. But the app for the initial setup needs internet access and an account.
So it’s possible, but it’s a pain in the ass and they’re definitely on the never-buy-again list.
