My house lock doesn't have an online mode. It has to be programmed by visiting physically, unlocking it, and then you have to stand there and touch it for a while in order to remove or activate a code. In other words, it only supports two features that a keyed lock doesn't: 1. a keyholder can't lose/forget the key 2. keys can be disabled without the expense of replacing the whole lock core Since the purpose of a house lock is entirely a cultural/legal signal (you are allowed to come in / you do not have authority to come in) rather than security (if you are willing to damage the house, you can definitely enter), this is the perfect "smartness" for me. | ||

The lockly model I have is the same, no cloud features. You can configure it using the keypad or using an app over BT, that is the primary difference between it and a completely self contained device. |
