Ideas for smart locking door knob, handle, lever, latch, etc. (non-deadbolt)

new product request: like the Wyze Lock, but for doors that only have a handle, not a bolt type.like this: Commercial Door Lever Set Keyed / Entry Function - Satin Chrome - Harney Hardware

I joined this forum just to add my vote to this request. I recently installed a Wyze deadbolt and was super disappointed to see there’s no knob/lever/handle version that would let me add keyless entry to the door to my garage as well. It has no deadbolt, and I’d prefer to stay with one brand/app.

Door lock with a handle

The Wyze deadbolt is great, but I request a door lock with a handle. I currently have a Harfo (Amazon.com) and would really like to replace it with a Wyze, but can’t as none have built-in handles.

Thank you for your consideration!

Surface Mount Bolt Lock

PLEASE, create a surface mount (not mortice) deadbolt lock to replace surface mounted storm door latches with no deadbolts. It would be a hit if it was battery powered and had a doorbell v2 on the exterior and keypad entry. The last check on this list is for it to be installed on doors 1/4” thick and up and it came in white.

Still waiting for them to market a bedroom style smart doorknob. Idc if it uses fingerprint or keypad or magic fairy dust to unlock the thing…sooner then later would be nice too😂

4 years old. Not happening.

I, too have been hoping that Wyze would come out with a smart doorknob only. I have their smart deadbolt which I love but I also need just a smart doorknob. Eufy just came out with a smart doorknob only in June 2024. I might have to jump ship and get the one from Eufy if Wyze is not planning on making one.

Door knob equivalent of the Wyze Lock

So, I just purchased a Wyze lock and frankly it’s amazing, I absolutely love it. But even though I can unlock the lock with my phone, I still have to pull out my keys to unlock the door handle. I think it would be awesome if Wyze released the door handle equivalent of the lock that turns the inside part of the door handle into a smart device that still lets you use the same key. This way, you can sync the deadbolt and door handle and have them lock and unlock in unison, or independently, instead of having to pull your keys out period.

Idea for keyless front door handle with fingerprint

I love Wyze and have had a lot of their products for years, however, I do wish they had a system similar to Sifely where the door handle had the fingerprint option, they also still have the codes and also have fog keys as well as a physical key. With Wyze they only have the lock and the palm products but you still need an additional door handle to actually open the door. Patiently waiting for Wyze to create this product so I can add it to my collection and just use ONE app for everything lol

Welcome to the Forum, @escobar! :wave:

I don’t know if they’re considering “smart” door levers, but Palm Lock’s Product Manager mentioned this a couple of months ago:

Hopefully this Wishlist topic will be interpreted as encouragement to make these other products “smart” locks/latches and not just hardware/finish matches for existing deadbolt products.

Wyze Smart Fingerprint Handle with Child Safety Mode

Product Feature Request

I am a Wyze customer and currently use a Wyze Lock Bolt. I really like the fingerprint access and the convenience of the Wyze ecosystem.

I would like to suggest a new Wyze product designed specifically for families with children:

A Wyze Smart Fingerprint Door Handle with Parent-Controlled Child Safety Mode

The idea is to combine the convenience of a fingerprint smart lock with an important child-safety feature that is not commonly available in standard smart locks.

1. Exterior Access

The outside of the door should support multiple secure ways to unlock:

  • Fingerprint recognition
  • PIN/keypad
  • Wyze app
  • Wi-Fi remote unlocking
  • Temporary access codes for authorized people
  • Mechanical emergency key as a backup

Parents could register their fingerprints and the fingerprints of authorized family members.

2. Interior Child Safety Mode

This would be the most important feature.

When Child Safety Mode is ON, a child should not be able to simply turn the inside door handle and open the exterior door.

For example:

A child could walk to the back door, turn the handle, and unintentionally leave the house without a parent noticing.

Parents cannot watch their children every second. Even responsible parents can become distracted while cooking, working, taking care of another child, answering the phone, or doing other household activities.

A smart lock should provide an additional layer of protection.

With Child Safety Mode ON:

Outside:
Fingerprint/PIN/app authorization required.

Inside:
The normal handle should not allow the child to unlock/open the door to exit.

Parents should have a secure method to temporarily unlock the door from inside when necessary.

3. Parent Control Through the Wyze App

The Wyze app could include a simple setting:

Child Safety Mode

  • ON
  • OFF

Parents could enable or disable it remotely.

The app could also show:

Child Safety Mode: ON :locked:

and provide an optional notification if someone attempts to open the door from inside.

4. Emergency Safety

This feature must be designed carefully.

Child Safety Mode should never trap someone inside the house.

There should always be a safe and reliable emergency-release mechanism that allows a person to exit during:

  • Fire
  • Medical emergency
  • Power failure
  • Battery failure
  • Wi-Fi failure
  • Other emergencies

The emergency release should be easy for an adult to operate but designed so that a young child cannot accidentally defeat the child-safety feature.

5. Automatic Locking

The lock should support configurable auto-lock:

  • 30 seconds
  • 1 minute
  • 5 minutes
  • Custom setting
  • Auto-lock OFF

Parents could choose the setting appropriate for their family.

6. Family Fingerprints

The lock should allow multiple fingerprints for different family members.

For example:

  • Parent 1
  • Parent 2
  • Older child
  • Trusted family member

Parents should be able to add or remove fingerprints through the Wyze app.

7. Notifications

Optional Wyze notifications could include:

  • Door unlocked
  • Door locked
  • Fingerprint used
  • PIN used
  • Door opened
  • Failed fingerprint attempt
  • Child Safety Mode enabled/disabled
  • Attempt to open while Child Safety Mode is active
  • Low battery

This would give parents better awareness of what is happening with the door.

8. Wi-Fi and Offline Operation

The lock should continue to work locally even if Wi-Fi or the internet is temporarily unavailable.

For example:

  • Fingerprint should still work.
  • PIN should still work.
  • Emergency mechanical access should still work.

Wi-Fi should provide the additional convenience of remote control and notifications rather than becoming the only way to operate the lock.

9. Door Types

A handle-style version would be especially useful for:

  • Back doors
  • Side doors
  • Interior bedroom doors
  • Children’s rooms
  • Home offices
  • Garage entry doors
  • Other doors where parents want controlled access

10. Why I Think Wyze Should Build This

Wyze already has experience with smart locks, fingerprint access, Wi-Fi connectivity, app control, and the Wyze ecosystem.

What I am requesting is not simply another fingerprint lock.

I am suggesting a family-focused smart lock with a dedicated Child Safety Mode.

This could give parents an additional layer of protection when they cannot continuously watch their children.

The concept is simple:

Authorized person outside → fingerprint/PIN/app → access granted.

Child inside → Child Safety Mode ON → cannot simply turn the handle and walk outside.

Emergency → adult can always safely exit.

I believe this could be a very useful and marketable Wyze product because it addresses a real problem for families rather than simply adding another smart-lock feature.

My preferred Wyze product

Wyze Smart Lock Handle

Fingerprint + PIN + Wi-Fi + Wyze App + Auto-Lock + Child Safety Mode + Emergency Release

I would personally be very interested in purchasing this product if Wyze develops it.

Please consider forwarding this idea to the Wyze product development team.

Thank you for continuing to develop practical and affordable smart-home products.

Handle smart lock

I would love a handle smart lock instead of only deadbolt options.
