Hello,
You should run Ethernet cables instead of wifi for this, with statically assigned IP addresses, so that the system keeps working even without the router or wifi.
Also, I have a separate physical network (wifi + switch + cables) for the home automation, and another one (wifi + switch + cables) for my needs.
Finally, indeed, you could have wired wall switches which connect directly to the Kincony boxes, and you can link switches and relays in the box using ESPHome or the KCS firmware.
