The other day my WiFi network went down and with it, I lost access to my Zigbee network?* Is this normal or is this a sign of a massive issue?

*When I checked the Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant, all devices showed as unavailable.

Your wifi went down or your internet connection?

Sounds like from your comments that you mean internet.

Zigbee does not rely on internet, but does rely on a local connection to your mqtt server which may be on another machine (ideally not), and if these machines are connected via wifi (ideally not) and your wifi went down, then yes you can lose functionality.
