Residential smart locks I've seen are wireless, with batteries and a keypad, so any networking (zwave, zigbee) or lack thereof doesn't affect that basic operation. And egress is never blocked by anything.

If the batteries die and you need to get inside, you need to have a physical key or an alternative ingress.
