New innovation from Wyze: A palm-detecting smart lock that can be unlocked through a simple wave gesture
The smart home market is ever-evolving, and the latest addition to the scene is the Wyze Palm Lock. This innovative smart lock, reminiscent of technology seen in Star Wars, offers a contactless biometric entry system that sets it apart from its competitors.
The Wyze Palm Lock utilises palm vein recognition technology, a feature that has been gaining popularity among smart locks this year. Notable launches incorporating this technology include the Eufy FamiLock S3 Max, TCL D2R Max, and Philips 5000 Series Smart Lock.
The Wyze Palm Lock works by reading the unique pattern of veins on your palm for contactless entry. To unlock the door, all you need to do is wave or hover your hand over the lock. This highly secure and reliable method of verification ensures that only authorised individuals can access your home.
The Wyze Palm Lock offers multiple unlocking options, making it versatile and convenient. You can use the accompanying app, enter a code, command it through voice assistant, use the latch, or even carry a back-up key. The lock also auto locks when it senses your door has been closed, adding an extra layer of security.
In terms of additional security features, the Wyze Palm Lock comes equipped with anti-tampering measures and a back-up battery. It also has anti-peep technology that adds extra digits to your code, making it difficult for someone to observe your code and gain unauthorised access.
The Wyze Palm Lock's battery is designed to last for six months, and it comes with a back-up battery for added peace of mind. You can create and share unique codes for family and friends to enter your home, and all data is stored locally.
Currently, the Wyze Palm Lock is available for purchase in the US for $129.98, directly from Wyze.com. However, as of writing, there is no specific information about a German distributor or company offering it in Germany yet. The lock is also not yet available in the UK.
With its unique contactless palm vein biometric technology, the Wyze Palm Lock is a promising new competitor in the smart lock market. If you're in the US and looking to upgrade your home security, this could be the smart lock for you.
