Hue Switches Stopped Working - Lights Only Respond To App (alien.top)

I have 2 light switches, bought in 2019 so out of warranty, and they both just randomly stopped working at the same time and won't respond to resets, deleting and adding back, or anything. The most I've been able to get is one of them to turn lights on and that's it. When you press a button it registers in the App (under accessories) what button was pressed and what time it was pressed, but it doesn't change anything.

Later I also found the lights controlled by those switches (2 rooms that each have a group of 3 bulbs) no longer respond to Google Home voice requests and can't be controlled as a group in the GH app...only individually. But they respond find as a group or individually in the Hue App.

Anyone ran into this before? Hue support was no help.
