"Wyze has announced a new version of its electronic door lock that features Wi-Fi, allowing it to be controlled remotely from anywhere using a mobile app or voice commands through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. The original Wyze Lock Bolt is currently featured in our smart lock buyer's guide as the "best budget smart(ish) lock," but with only Bluetooth connectivity, its functionality is limited."
"The Wyze Lock Bolt v2 carries forward an integrated fingerprint reader, which the company says can identify users and open the door in about half a second, while biometric data is stored locally on the device for added security. The keypad buttons on the original have been replaced with an illuminated touchpad covered in a scratch- and smudge-resistant layer of tempered glass."
Wyze Lock Bolt v2 adds Wi‑Fi to allow remote control via a mobile app and voice commands through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. The lock retains an integrated fingerprint reader with local biometric storage and replaces physical keypad buttons with an illuminated tempered-glass touchpad. The device stores up to 50 unique access codes, supports single-use expiring passcodes, and masks codes with extra-digit taps. Battery life is up to eight months, and a USB-C emergency port plus a physical key option provide backup entry. A customizable tamper alarm and integration with Wyze video doorbells enable door unlocking from the doorbell livestream. The price remains $79.98.
