Low power communication between strike pocket and main board of lock to determine lock state

A method of leveraging low power communication within an access control system to determine a lock state, the method comprising:

• determining, by a first access control device, a lock state of the first access control device based on sensor data received from at least one sensor of the first access control device;
• transmitting, by the first access control device, a wake-up signal to a second access control device in response to determining that the lock state determined by the first access control device is indicative of a change from a first lock state to a second lock state;
• waking, by the second access control device, a processor of the second access control device from a low power state in response to receiving the wake-up signal from the first access control device;
• determining, by the processor of the second access control device, a lock state of the first access control device based on sensor data received from at least one sensor of the second access control device;
• transmit, by the second access control device and to the first access control device, a sync signal that includes data indicative of the lock state determined by the second access control device;
• determining, by the first access control device, whether sync data stored in a memory of the first access control device corresponds with the second lock state in response to receiving the sync signal;
• and
• updating, by the first access control device, the sync data stored in the memory of the first access control device to be indicative of the first lock state in response to determining that the sync data corresponds with the second lock state.
