“Hi. Will these work if there's a power outage? I know they have battery backup, but does it need to connect to wifi, which would be impacted by a blackout? thanks!”

Yes mine does work during a blackout. The lock gets it’s power from batteries so I keep extra batteries on hand. The lock gives you warnings to replace the batteries in plenty time to keep from getting locked out. I love my lock. It gives me peace of mind since I do not have to mess with keys. Also, it can work off the internet from your phone if necessary.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I worried about this myself. The wifi device is actually a separate module from the lock itself. It plugs into a power outlet near the lock. I unplugged the August device from the wall to where there would be no wifi. I was still able to unlock my lock with both passcode and key like normal. So, to answer your question: Yes, this still works during a power outage.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You have three options to utilize the smart lock. Direct interface with the keyboard, Bluetooth or through WiFi. So, the answer would be yes, it would still work with a power outage.
