- If your power goes out, the Nexia Bridge will not be able to communicate with the Nexia-enabled devices in your home, so you won’t be able to remotely control the system until power is reinstated. There is no compromise to security when the power in your house is interrupted—all the security devices stay in their current state, you just cannot remotely access them. Additionally, your system will maintain all of the settings previously programmed into the account so nothing will have to be reprogrammed once power returns.
- Special note for Schlage Locks: Schlage Home Keypad locks with Nexia function on standard, everyday batteries so you can operate them even if your home’s power/internet goes out. The “always active” codes are stored in the lock and can be used even if the power is out. The Nexia apps show the battery status of Schlage locks and typical battery life is longer than a year.
