An internet outage does not plunge your google home controlled house into darkness.

About as fake as you can get:
- Google does not offer smart lighting... so this would need to be something else, i.e. Philips Hue
- Google Home is merely a hub for aggregating multiple vendor functionality into one, so if Google Home failed you would just use another that you'd have already installed as part of the setup, i.e. Philips Hue
- Smart lighting all keeps hardware switches
- Flicking a power switch in a full power out scenario always goes to max brightness, daylight temperature
The scenario in the tweet isn't possible... even if they'd said it about a Philips Hue outage it wouldn't be possible as you just flick the light switch.
Of course... maybe the problem is that the person cannot switch a light switch, but in that case getting a smart system enables them the 99.9% of time when there isn't an outage.
