An electronically-controlled manually-actuated deadbolt lock is provided. The electronically-controlled manually-actuated deadbolt lock includes an exterior turn piece selectively couplable to a deadbolt latch assembly including a latch bolt. When a control circuit determines that rotation of an internal turn piece drives movement of the latch bolt from a locked position to an unlocked position, the control circuit engages a motor to transition the exterior turn piece to a coupled state for, at most, a predetermined period of time. While in the coupled state during the predetermined period of time, rotation of the exterior turn piece drives movement of the latch bolt between the locked and unlocked positions.
