I also just purchased a Schlage Lock BE469ZP and have seen the long query updates happen.
Mostly if someone is manually turning the lock, a status update does not seem to go out from the lock. It waits for a query to happen. I set up a program to query every 15 mins and seemed to fill the gap for me, but I noticed that battery level has dropped 15% in a 2 week process. Not sue if the excessive query is causing the drain.
So if some comes in with a code, I believe that lock sends a status up date, but I do not have enough traffic coming Inbound to test. Most of my traffic is unlocking the door from the inside manually, to answer the door, check snail mail, and walk the dog. Even when I manually lock the door, no status update is being passed that I can tell.
I did set up a program when the house is closing up, to query and if unlocked, send me a notice and lock the door. That helps answer my wifes question... "Did you lock the Front door??"
Not sure if any of this anecdotal observations help...
