I have the same setup as @Andrew Steffens.  Encode, with a discreet lockbox for emergencies.  I also program about spare 10 codes that I can use for repair people, or guests if the internet goes out for awhile, and I'm unable to program any new codes to the last 5 digits of the guest's phone number.  It's important for battery longevity to make sure the deadbolt works freely without rubbing on the frame when it locks.
