The gyroscope detects door movement and angle, enabling automatic locking when the door is fully closed or alerting if left open.

The Wyze Palm Lock is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing voice commands for locking, unlocking, and status checks, with PIN verification for voice-activated unlocking.

It is Wi-Fi enabled, enabling remote control through a smartphone or voice commands, and features auto-lock and alarms for security.

Founded in 2017 by former Amazon employees, Wyze has expanded from security cameras to over 70 smart home products and raised $110 million in funding in 2021.

Wyze is ranked No. 12 on the GeekWire 200 list of top startups in the Pacific Northwest, reflecting its growth and innovation.

In case both batteries are depleted, an external USB-C power source can temporarily unlock the device using an access code.

Palm vein recognition is considered more secure and accurate than fingerprint scanning and easier to use than infrared sensors that require precise waving.

Wyze has launched the Palm Lock, a biometric smart lock that uses vein recognition technology to unlock doors, offering a faster alternative to fingerprint scanners.

Priced at $130 and available on Wyze's website, the Palm Lock aims to enhance home security with advanced biometric features, storing biometric data securely on the device without uploading to the cloud.

The lock recognizes unique vein patterns in the hand, requiring users to hover their hand in front of the reader, and supports multiple entry methods including a physical key, PIN code, and mobile app.

It supports up to 50 access codes, including one-time guest codes, and integrates with Wyze video doorbells for remote control, offering versatile access options.

Additional unlocking methods include palm recognition, a physical key, a PIN, and app control, providing flexibility for users.

The device boasts a battery life of up to six months thanks to low-power millimeter wave radar detection, with a rechargeable primary battery and a secondary battery lasting up to two weeks.

Powered by batteries that last around six months, the lock also features a USB-C port for quick charging if needed.

Security features include auto-locking via a gyroscope, alarms for tampering or ajar doors, and a mechanical key backup for manual unlocking.

The lock can store up to 50 palm vein IDs and generate 50 unique entry codes for non-registered users, offering a range of access options.
