No, Wi-Fi is not required for a smart lock to work. However it depends on the features you want to use. Functions like unlocking with a PIN code, fingerprint, RFID card, Bluetooth (within range), or a backup key will still work without internet. However, if you want features like remote access, real-time alerts from anywhere in the world, then Wi-Fi (or a smart home hub) is required. So, the lock will still function offline, but you'll need Wi-Fi for remote access.
