Today, Wyze has announced the release of its new smart home lock that uses biometric technology to identify homeowners by just the palm of their hands. The company's Palm Lock uses the unique pattern of the veins beneath the surface of your palm so that you can simply wave at the lock as you approach your front door. Wyze says that this technology is both faster and more reliable than the fingerprint-based locks you'll find on many of the best smart locks.
The data to operate the lock is then stored locally on the device, instead of in an app or on the cloud, which makes it more secure. While the lock status can be controlled from within the app, the lock itself can also be controlled from the live view of a Wyze video doorbell too. Likewise, it can be opened via the illuminated numbered keypad which holds up to 50 unique access codes or by using a traditional key and its mechanical lock. So you really get the best of both worlds here with plenty of ways to enter your home using Wyze's new Palm Lock.
