Will the Schlage Encode Plus Work Without Internet Access or During a Power Outage When Using Apple HomeKey?

The Schlage Encode Plus Smart Wi-Fi Deadbolt is designed to function even during power outages or periods without internet access, thanks to its battery-powered design. Here’s how it operates under these conditions, especially when using Apple HomeKey.

Functionality During Power Outages and Internet Disruptions

  • Battery-Powered Operation: The Encode Plus is a battery-powered lock, ensuring that the keypad and app features continue to function even when there is a power outage. You can still lock and unlock your door using the keypad or Apple HomeKey on your device.
  • Apple HomeKey Usage: Apple HomeKey allows for seamless access using your iPhone, enabling you to lock or unlock the door without needing active internet access. This feature relies on near-field communication (NFC) rather than Wi-Fi.
  • Access Code Functionality: Access codes programmed into the lock will continue to work, allowing users to enter or exit without internet connectivity.

Impact on Lock History and Cloud Features

  • Delayed History Updates: The lock’s history and activity logs may experience delays in updates during internet disruptions. This information is stored in the Schlage cloud and requires a Wi-Fi connection to sync.
  • Restoration of Normal Function: Once power and internet access are restored, the lock will resume sending and receiving information from the cloud, updating history and other cloud-based features.
