"Battery life is rated at up to six months thanks to the use of low-power millimeter wave radar that only wakes the lock when a person is detected nearby. Its primary battery can be removed so you can recharge it indoors, while a smaller secondary battery will keep the lock powered for up to two weeks. Should both batteries die, an external power source can be temporarily connected to a USB-C port allowing it to be unlocked using an access code."
"Palm vein recognition has been shown to be a more secure and accurate method of biometric security than fingerprint readers, and simply waving your hand over an infrared sensor requires less precision than scanning a fingerprint. The Wyze Palm Lock can store palm vein IDs for up to 50 users, and generate up to 50 unique entry codes giving access to people whose palms haven't been registered."
The Wyze Palm Lock is a palm-vein biometric smart door lock priced at $129.98, cheaper than competing palm-scanning locks. The lock supports entry via physical key, PIN code, or mobile app. Battery life is rated up to six months thanks to low-power millimeter-wave radar that activates the sensor when a person approaches. The primary battery is removable for indoor recharging; a secondary battery provides up to two weeks of backup. A USB-C port allows temporary external power to enter codes if needed. The lock stores up to 50 palm IDs and 50 unique entry codes, connects via Wi‑Fi, and supports Alexa and Google Assistant. A built-in gyroscope enables auto-locking and audible open-door alerts.
