Bluetooth Door Lock

Smart door locks Bluetooth work by integrating Bluetooth technology into traditional lock systems. These smart locks communicate with your smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled devices via built-in Bluetooth modules. When a visitor approach the door, the lock's Bluetooth module detects the visitor’s device and establishes a secure connection, thus granting or denying access.

Bluetooth smart locks do not necessarily need Wi-Fi to function. In fact, Bluetooth technology alone allows direct communication between the smart lock and a paired Bluetooth-enabled device and is enough to make a decision to grant to deny access. However, some Bluetooth smart locks like eufy Smart Lock C110 may offer optional features that utilize wifi connectivity like wifi locking and unlocking, expanding your enjoyment of the smart locks' Bluetooth and wifi features together.

The main difference between a Bluetooth smart lock and a Wi-Fi smart lock lies in how they communicate and their associated functionalities:

Features: Bluetooth deadbolt locks usually provide basic functionalities like keyless entry through Bluetooth pairing and may offer guest access codes, while wifi smart locks often come with advanced features such as real-time notifications, activity logs, integration with smart home systems, voice assistant compatibility and so on.
