And for our friends in Canada 
Nice, I like the fact it has a backup battery in the event the main battery dies. Plus the fact it uses the standard Wyze Rechargeable battery is a plus as well
Impressive, I just hope it works as advertised 
I don’t see a charger for the batteries?
It uses the same batteries as the battery cam Pro. So the battery itself has a USB-C Port on it so you can plug in a USBC cord to charge it. Wyze also sells a separate charger, but it’s not necessary since you can just use a cord directly:
I have one of those to keep extra batteries charged at all times so when one dies in a battery cam Pro, I can just swap it with one that’s already fully charged.
Great. Just had all my palm veins removed. Is there a workaround?
I have the Wyse lock that uses fingerprint verification. Will the new palm verification version simply install as a replacement or will I need to do anything to adjust the door to prepare for this?
If the Wyze Lock Bolt fit on your door, this one will fit just the same since they are designed to fit similar standard doors. You can just replace it. 
Thanks for clarifying. I’m thinking of getting one as I need to replace one of my locks.
My analysis:
The Product Manager (WyzeDesmond) for this Wyze Palm Lock is one of my all time favorite Wyze Employees. For a long time he was my favorite dev! Extremely knowledgeable and capable and could figure out and solve things that nobody else had been able to do and really helped us out a lot. Extremely helpful, and cares. He’s one of the best devs that Wyze ever had IMO. I don’t know what his exact position was when I first started talking with him but it wouldn’t surprise me if he was some kind of senior supervisor or something like that, I just knew that if there was an issue, he would be the main person who could understand it and access anything to resolve it and was amazingly helpful. People will never know how much he’s done positively to help forum users here and in general.
I was ecstatic when he became a product manager because I knew how much he listens to feedback, cares about quality, stability, resolving things, making them function well, and that he’d get to be totally in charge and make sure the foundation is excellent from the beginning instead of putting out fires. I bet this will be one of Wyze’s best and most reliable products knowing WyzeDesmond is the product manager who got to design and build it from the ground up. This guy is one of Wyze’s best assets and they definitely made a good call to put him in charge of a product building team. With his own products being his priority from development onward, I really have no question on whether this thing will work great!
I am really excited for the the Palm vein scanning. I’ve been reading a lot about how it works and how it’s more secure and accurate than most biometrics right now. It seems this is going to become a new big thing. The research is pretty new and the first consumer devices with it just launched this year, so it’s pretty bleeding edge. It’s definitely going to be hard to beat this price for a primary deadbolt lock that supports Palm vein recognition.
As for criticisms, mine are mostly personal preference. I really don’t like physical keyholes on locks that are on important things like my front door. I know having physical keys are basically non-negotiable for a lot of older people, so it was smart of them to include it since it is a huge market demand, but I personally strongly dislike physical keyholes because anybody with the right tools and a little training can pick them in a few seconds (it’s the whole reason people call locksmiths when they’re locked out). If anybody ever opens one of these models up and figures out how to remove or disable the key cylinder or mechanism, let me know. If it’s not too complicated, I might take mine out. I’m also tempted just to squeeze some super glue in the keyhole. Again, that’s just a personal preference for me. I understand why Wyze would include a physical key since there is such a strong market demand for them still. It’s not a deal-breaker for me, just a personal preference, And I am really glad that if they’re going to include a physical key hole, that they have it hidden behind another sliding panel. I guess I could probably even just super glue that panel shut. 
I might consider that too. I also wish they’d added Matter support or had an official Home Assistant Integration (though at least there are 3rd party workarounds for this).
I think these also make great locks for people with a swimming pool or hot tub, since it will still work even if your hand is wet, whereas, most fingerprint readers won’t work if your finger is wet or dirty. This will also be great for people who do work that gets their hands really dirty which makes fingerprint readers fail too. I think I want these on most doors of my house, especially since it connects to Wi-Fi and has a gyro sensor in it that can actually tell when the door is open or closed, unlike the lock bolt.
I think they should make a pro version that includes a doorbell camera on it as well which can also support face unlock as you walk up to the door (or maybe an NFC reader). I understand not putting that on this first version since they are trying to be disruptive on pricing and make it the most affordable Palm Vein Lock available, but it would be great if they made another version with the camera included at a higher price.
Overall, the research on Palm vein scanning as high security and effectiveness and how fast it works is awesome. And again, the product manager is one of my all-time favorite Wyze employees who has always been extremely capable and reliable over the years I’ve talked with him. Looks like the price of this device is following the Wyze core value of being disruptive in the market by significantly undercutting all the other options on price and affordability for this new Palm vein tech.
And thank heavens they are finally launching new non-camera products sometimes again. 
I love the cameras, but an expanded smart home is also important.
This is so epic!!! The Wyze Lock was one of my favorite products and was the one I wanted most when starting to make my home smart. It works so incredibly well and i am THRILLED to see a new lock from Wyze! This is truly a futuristic product and I’ve seen a Palm lock from a competitor cost wayyyyy more than this, so it’s epic Wyze is bringing this technology to us at such a competitive and fair price point! The design is absolutely beautiful! Well done!
I can vouch for this…I think I just barely got over the PTSD from you constantly begging for a lock…like ENDLESSLY begging for employees and Discord mods to give you Wyze locks…it was like nonstop. I can’t overemphasize the obsession with the Wyze lock @cyberdog_17 had. Just go to the Wyze discord server and run a search for:
from: cyberdog_17 lock
See there are multiple pages worth of results and go start from the oldest results and on. 
(and that’s not including non-public and private messages)
Up for round 2? 
Wyze making you an official volunteer moderator for Discord and Facebook has already been the equivalent of multiple subsequent rounds. The forums are supposed to be my relaxing space free from my arch frenemies. 
But if you do a new round two of begging Wyze for free ones of these, make sure to tell them to send me some too. 
They need to have a whole bunch of raffles of these.
I loved the original lock too. Probably just going to replace all of mine with these new ones though (I’ll probably save the original locks for different leasing/renting situations). Even if I already put these on every outside access door at my house, if I won another one of these in a giveaway or raffle, I’d probably drill a new deadlock hole into some of my indoor doors just to be able to use it (home office, utility closet, Master bedroom, shed?).
Why not get something you can spit in and test your DNA?
(Maybe a vestigial keyhole?)
Any chance this will ever integrate with HMS? I miss being able to disarm my alarm system after unlocking my door with the PIN when I had Simplisafe.
Who else noticed this in the unboxing video?
This link goes to that part of the video. Here’s another one later in the video:
Since there’s a mention that this is a “debut” and a “first”, I wonder if that portends the addition of this feature to other (probably future) Wyze products.
I also like that it has Anti-Peep technology. Although he claims recent palmar phlebectomies, I reserve the right to skepticism and appreciate this additional layer of defense against rogue ranae. 
Looks cool, and no offense intended, but was this something people were asking for? For me this kind of falls into, ok cool, but it seems gimmicky.
I replaced the original lock with the Palm Lock. Is there any reason to continue using the Lock Gateway?
That is really cool. I didn’t realize that applied to this device. I might have to try it out and see how it works. For example, do you have to implement it before you shut down the old Wi-Fi network while it is still connected to the previous Wi-Fi and going to the cloud and back to your app, or does it work by connecting directly to Bluetooth and updating the network information even though the device doesn’t currently have internet because the old router is already gone? I’m guessing it’s the latter.
I hope so, and I also hope that they will do something similar for already released products to back add support for it.
Is that anti only for a single peep, or does it also work for @peepeep ?
In all seriousness, I do like that. Somebody on X was asking how they make sure people can’t get the number code simply by watching somebody or looking at the display to see which numbers have fingerprints on them to know what to press. And I basically responded something along the lines of how you can enter random numbers before and after the actual code to make it really long so that nobody can memorize it over your shoulder, and with the extra button presses, just make sure to touch every single key before you press unlock. Then every key will have a fingerprint oil on it, and honestly you can just wipe it off anyway.
I would really love if they would integrate the lock and keypad with the security system, both the HMS and cam unlimited Pro so that it could automatically arm and disarm the system, And even allow you to set up some kind of silent alarm to go off if you include an SOS code as part of the real unlock code. Then it could silently trigger an alarm that you need help, because maybe a suspicious person is with you, but since it actually unlocks the door dis and seems to disarm the system, they won’t realize what happened. Those kind of things are almost never used in real life, but they are kind of cool to have. It would also be cool if different Palm scans would work as different triggers to start different automations, or if you could do the same thing with different codes to trigger different automations.
