What all is involved with installing a smart lock? I mean, does the lock work off of Wifi and batteries? Or, do wires need to be run for any of its functionality? Also, if it works of of Wifi and your internet happens to be out, does it then use a backup battery and some sort of button press code to access / open? Thanks much.

You can set up a specific code for them and even set it up to only work on a specific day between 8 AM and 5 PM. Same would work for somebody like a dog walker. You can also unlock and lock the door remotely so instead of giving somebody a code you might have a repair person coming, but you are at work. Just tell them to call you when they are at the door, then you can unlock for them. I use this all the time, we have a local person who does heavy, German style bread baked in a woodfired oven and she usually drops off for us, if she is at the door she can call or ring our Ring video doorbell, I answer the call or notification from the video doorbell and once I know it's her I unlock the door, she puts the bread in the entry way and once she is out and the door is closed I lock it again. It's super handy and I would never go back to a regular lock with key or even one with a keypad, but one which is not connected.

I am just waiting for better availability of the latest model here in Canada which is compatible with whatever Apple calls that new key technology. I think it's called the Encode Plus or something like that. I believe that one also has Matter support.

And they're pretty accessible on iOS. However, the locks themselves are physical touch screens for the keypad. That's why I have to use my smart phone. But I do come with a physical key that you can use to unlock them.
