The lockly model I have is the same, no cloud features.
You can configure it using the keypad or using an app over BT, that is the primary difference between it and a completely self contained device.
1. a keyholder can't lose/forget the key 2. keys can be disabled without the expense of replacing the whole lock core
Since the purpose of a house lock is entirely a cultural/legal signal (you are allowed to come in / you do not have authority to come in) rather than security (if you are willing to damage the house, you can definitely enter), this is the perfect "smartness" for me.
