1. An electromechanical door lock system comprising:
- first circuitry of the door lock including a first transceiver configured to receive a first signal transmitted by a control node of a dynamic wireless network, the first signal including an intended recipient ID, wherein the first circuitry is operable to demodulate the first signal and provide the intended recipient ID to the controller, and the controller is operable to evaluate the intended recipient ID and selectably control transmission of an acknowledgment signal; and
second circuitry of the door lock including a second transceiver configured to wake up in response to a wake up command from the controller, receive a second radio signal from the control node of the dynamic wireless network, the second signal including door lock access information, wherein the second circuitry is operable to demodulate the second signal and provide the door lock access information to the controller, and the controller is operable to evaluate the door lock access information and to command actuation of a locking mechanism based upon said evaluation.

Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments of lock devices, systems, and methods. A lock of the application can include an internal mechanism to permit backdriven operation and lost motion operation. In one form the lock can be made from an assembly of parts that have locating features that require one way installation/assembly. The lock can include an internal power source capable of driving electronics used to determine handedness of a door.
