Suggested features for Wyze Lock Bolt

Welcome to the Forum, @mommee_of_two! :wave:

When did you buy your current Lock Bolt? Is there a chance you could exchange it or possibly repurpose it elsewhere (to another door), and have you looked at the newer Lock Bolt v2?

This recently-released lock seems to tick a lot of the boxes you mentioned in your post:

  • scanning fingerprints to unlock
  • using a Wi-Fi connection (instead of strictly Bluetooth, though you would use Bluetooth for initial setup and connection to the app)
  • being able to lock or unlock from a Wyze doorbell’s live stream screen (except for the original Video Doorbell (“v1”))
  • integrating with third-party systems like Amazon Alexa and Google Home
  • sending notifications when the lock actuates

According to this lock’s unboxing video and the Wyze Shop, it’s the same price as the original, even with these new features. I haven’t used the original Lock Bolt, but I use the Lock Bolt v2 and like it quite a bit. In fact, I’m debating whether to keep it in place or swap it for the new Palm Lock, which I also really like.
