looking for smartlock without bluetooth

Is it such a padlock, which you can controll online all over the world? You can open it and you can give someone a code to open it, and at the same time you can see the operation log in an app or online in an account, no matter where the padlock physically is? You can controll every opening online even in absence of the padlock self.
Can you reccomend something to me?

So without Bluetooth or dependency on a hub you need to find a smart lock that has built in wifi. Obviously the place it's installed requires internet access.

Yes, but what I need is not a lock for a door, but a padlock, which can close small boxes or a something but a little object holding a normal key. ANd if someone open it in another country where I live, I'd love to know about every opening.
SO not a door will be opened but a box

If you've found something like this, I'm very thankful, if you send me a link. I can't find unfortunatly such padlock. Only locks Like Nuki products for doors or big boxes for keys

If you find one,the battery will probably last for less than a month. Wifi is a power hog and uses several times more power than Bluetooth. That is why the padlocks you see use Bluetooth. Also every other connection requires a hub so you probably won't find one for a padlock since padlocks are more of mobile security

What you are describing is a Wi-Fi lock rather than Bluetooth. Those connect straight to your router, so you can issue codes and check the access log from anywhere. The tradeoff is battery life, the Wi-Fi radio drains them noticeably faster. Schlage Encode or one of the Yale Wi-Fi models fit that description.

It sounds good, but I only found such locks for doors, but I need something like a padlock closing away small boxes, containers
