Abstract: A method for operating an access control comprises creating a plurality of wake-up schedules for a wireless transceiver. Each of the plurality of wake-up schedules may be configured to control how frequently the wireless transceiver wakes up to transmit or receive information. Each of the plurality of wake-up schedules for the wireless transceiver may be different from another one or the plurality of wake-up schedules for the wireless transceiver. The method may further comprise automatically switching between the plurality of wake-up schedules for the wireless transceiver such that a duration of time between wake-ups for the wireless transceiver radio is shorter during some predefined times and longer during other predefined times. The duration of time between wake-ups for the wireless transceiver may be configurable by an administrative user via an interface.

Abstract: A method for operating an access control device having a processor, a memory, and an internet connection comprises receiving a credential from a user; checking, by comparing the credential to matching credential information that would indicate the user is authorized to enter stored in the memory of the access control device, if no matching credential information that indicates the user is authorized is found in the memory of the access control device, then checking, at a remote cloud server, a list of buffered credential information for the matching credential information that indicates the user is authorized, and if the matching credential information that indicates the user is authorized is found, sending an unlock signal from the remote cloud server to the access control device.

Abstract: A method for operating an access control comprises creating a plurality of wake-up schedules for each of one or more wireless transceivers. Each of the plurality of wake-up schedules may be configured to control how frequently a particular wireless transceiver wakes up to transmit or receive information. Each of the plurality of wake-up schedules for the particular wireless transceiver may be different from another one or the plurality of wake-up schedules for the particular wireless transceiver. The method may further comprise automatically switching between the plurality of wake-up schedules for the particular wireless transceiver such that a duration of time between wake-ups for the particular wireless transceiver radio is shorter during some predefined times and longer during other predefined times. The duration of time between wake-ups for each of the one or more of the wireless transceivers may be configurable by an administrative user via an interface.
