Mobile app: view battery level in mobile app (real-time monitoring, battery percentage), plan replacement in advance. Scheduled replacement: replace battery on schedule (Bluetooth 1-2 years, RF 1-3 years, lock 6-12 months), don't wait for battery low alert. Recommendation: use lithium batteries (2-3× longer life), set battery low alert (mobile app), replace battery on schedule (don't wait for full discharge).

How reliable are wireless controllers and what happens if connection is lost?

Wireless controllers are very reliable thanks to modern technologies: reliability — encrypted communication: AES-256 encryption (military-grade, secure data transmission), rolling code (RFID/RF, anti-replay attack), TLS/SSL (Wi-Fi, secure cloud connection). Auto-reconnect: controller automatically reconnects to gateway/cloud after connection restoration (1-5 seconds), doesn't lose access logs (local storage, sync after reconnect). Mesh network: RF systems use mesh network (repeaters, self-healing network), if one repeater fails → other repeaters take its role → connection doesn't break. Redundancy: dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz + 5GHz, auto-switch), dual-power (PoE + battery backup, 24 hours backup). What happens if connection is lost — offline mode: controller continues working in offline mode (local decision, no cloud/gateway required), RFID/PIN/biometric authentication works (local database, 1000-10000 users), access logs stored locally (sync after reconnect). Battery backup: Wi-Fi controllers (PoE + battery backup, 24 hours), Bluetooth/RF controllers (battery power, 1-3 years). Mechanical key backup: wireless electric locks (mechanical key cylinder, emergency access if battery fully discharged). Alert: mobile app push notification (connection lost, battery low, door forced open), email/SMS alert (critical events). Recommendation: use dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz + 5GHz), set battery backup (24 hours), use mechanical key backup (emergency access), set alert (mobile app, email/SMS).
