A:AnswerIt's powered by 4 AA batteries, so no problem in the event of main line power loss. If you let those batteries die, it's still possible to use the lock with a 9-volt battery.
A:AnswerThe lock comes with a nest connect which connects it to your WiFi network. You can control your lock and thermostat from the same hub or app on your phone.
A:AnswerThis is all dependent on the amount of use the Nest x Yale lock receives in the home, but should be expected to last roughly one year if not more.
A:AnswerWi-Fi connection is necessary for the setup of your Nest × Yale Lock. Although it doesn’t connect directly to Wi-Fi, it uses Weave to connect to a Nest Connect or Nest Guard in your home. Your Connect or Guard will then connect to your Wi-Fi network and communicate with the Nest app. Once your Nest x Yale Lock is all set, you’ll still be able to unlock your door with the keypad if the Wi-Fi goes down, but you won’t be able to use the Nest app to control your lock or change settings. You also won’t get any notifications from the lock. Check this link for more info: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9251009
A:AnswerGreat question! Battery life certainly depends on usage, but your Nest x Yale Lock will notify you via the Nest app when its batteries are getting low.

A:AnswerYou can still use the keypad if you have programmed access with no schedules. The master code will work with no WiFi, you just won’t be able to remotely open or track history.
A:AnswerNot sure what you mean by "broken". If a deadbolt lock is truly "broken", then it doesn't matter whether it has a key or not, it won't work. If instead you mean dead batteries, then that has already been answered: there is a way to give it temporary power via a 9V.
A:AnswerHello.
You can't go wrong by choosing this lock. If the batteries run out completely, you need a 9 volt battery and connect the battery (hold the battery against the door lock) with the two pins in the bottom of the lock.
A:AnswerNest x Yale Lock is designed to replace most common deadbolts. If your RV door has a thickness of 1 3/8 in, 1 3/4 in, or between 2 - 2 ¼ in, and the deadbolt is not more than 2-3/4in away from the edge of your door, Nest x Yale Lock may work.
