The Wyze Palm Lock is a smart home lock that uses biometric technology to identify users based on the unique pattern of veins beneath the surface of the palm.
The Wyze Palm Lock encrypts and stores all biometric data locally, rather than in the app or cloud, for added security. The device also features an illuminated, numbered keypad where users can set and store up to 50 unique access codes.
Friends and family can gain access with one-time guest passcodes that expire on a schedule, or homeowners can control the locks directly from the live view of a Wyze video doorbell.
Wyze Palm Lock Features
- Auto Locking: A built-in gyroscope detects the angle and movement of the door in real time and automatically locks once it senses the door has closed.
- Anti-Peep Technology: Users can add extra digits before or after the code, and Wyze Palm Lock will still unlock, maintaining privacy from bystanders who may try to remember the code.
- Tamper and Ajar Alarms: Wyze Palm Lock speaks up and sounds an alarm if it detects tampering from excessive incorrect unlock attempts. It will also chirp if the door is accidentally left open (customizable in the Wyze app).
- IP53 Weather-Resistant and BHMA3-Certified: Backed by the Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association, this lock has been tested, slammed, twisted, and splashed thousands of times to make sure it can handle real life. It meets rigorous standards for security, durability, and performance.
- Smart Battery Saver: Wyze Palm Lock is equipped with a millimeter wave radar, the same type used in self-driving cars. It scans for the presence of a person (not just movement) and only "wakes up" the lock when a person is detected.
- Dual Battery System: A removable lithium-ion battery provides up to 6 months of battery life, while a secondary backup battery keeps things running for up to two weeks if needed.
- Emergency Power Port: If the batteries die, the USB-C port allows for a charge from a power bank, so users can enter the access code for entry.
- Control from Anywhere with Wi-Fi: Users can control and monitor the lock status from anywhere, anytime. Customize lock notifications in the Wyze app.
- Voice Control: Works with smart assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Users can customize even more automations with Wyze Rules.
- Mechanical Lock and Key Option: Those who still yearn for the comfort of a traditional key can simply slide down the damping cover and manually unlock the old-fashioned way (keys included).
