We have a Wyze Lock Bolt and it worked great until our first winter with below zero temps in MN. The fingerprint scanner stopped working and now it eats through batteries every month. There were a couple times I opened the emergency charging port on the bottom of the lock and water drained out of it from condensation. It is under a covered porch, so precipitation is not hitting it directly. I opened it up and sure enough there was condensation on the electronics, which I assume messed with it. I’ve seen similar complaints online.
We’ve just dealt with it for a year and replaced the batteries frequently. I am wondering if anyone has used the Wyze Lock Bolt V2 or Wyze Palm Lock and had issues with condensation? I am wondering if it is worth sticking with Wyze or looking at a different company. I might end up going with a ‘dumb lock’ keypad that I know is reliable in cold weather. I’ve also considered spraying a protective coating on the electronics of a new lock to try to prevent this issue. Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you!
