Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a common smart-lock protocol because it doesn't burn through battery life as quickly as Wi-Fi does.
The Bluetooth range is somewhat limited . It's enough to control your lock while you're at home but it will not be controlled when you far away from home. Bluetooth locks will connect directly with your phone or tablet.
If you want to control your lock remotely, you
need a Z-Wave hub or Wi-Fi-connected smart lock.
Z-Wave
Nowadays,Samsung,Yale,Godrej and other top brand have the provision to keep z wave or wifi chip for accessing .
Z-Wave locks need to connect to a Z-Wave Dongle or Hub .That hub will able to connect with your lock from anywhere.
The range of a Z-Wave connection is about 50 feet, so the lock will need to be at least that close to the hub -- though additional Z-Wave devices can act as range extenders by repeating the signal from the hub and sending it further.

Anopther general concern is battery life, but this will vary significantly (for all smart locks) based on how much you lock or unlock your door, the quality of the batteries you're using, if your deadbolt occasionally sticks and requires extra effort from the built-in motor, and even the weather -- colder temperatures can hurt battery life. Battery power shouldn't deter you from buying a smart lock you love, though. In fact, almost all keyless smart locks now include a pair of jumpstart nodes on the bottom of the lock. Grab a 9V battery and connect it to the nodes for just enough power to enter your keypad code and unlock the lock.
