Wyze Unveils Smart Door Lock with Fingerprint Recognition for $100
The new device supports PIN codes, a physical key, and USB-C for emergency power.
Wyze has released the Lever Lock smart lock, designed for doors with a standard latch. Thanks to this design, the device is compatible with some doors for which conventional smart locks with a deadbolt mechanism are unsuitable.
The new product is equipped with a fingerprint scanner, which, according to the manufacturer, recognizes the user in approximately half a second. Biometric data is stored locally, and the system improves its recognition after each successful unlock.
A PIN code is also provided for access. The user can enter random digits before or after the actual combination to conceal it from others. Alternatively, a physical key and a USB-C port for emergency power are available.
The lock operates on eight AA batteries, which, according to Wyze's estimate, last about 12 months. The device is already available for purchase at a price of $99.98.
