Distinguish connectivity from functions
Schlage describes remote management of Encode through built-in Wi-Fi and Schlage Home, as well as Bluetooth use after app pairing. This is a series-specific example, not a shared promise for every product bearing a Bluetooth symbol.

Checking by scenario
When comparing products, separate operation near the lock, remote operation away from home and home-network interruption. Ask the manufacturer to explain available methods and prerequisites for each.
- Is a gateway or other equipment required?
- Does local code operation work independently of the network?
- Are the installation site's network and app region supported?
Record versions and dependencies
Record model, app name, connection accessories and verification date. Software updates may change available functions, so an old advertising screenshot should not be the sole long-term evidence.
