Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt, Fingerprint Keyless Entry Door Smart Bluetooth Deadbolt Replacement, Backlit Keypad, IPX5 Weatherproof, in-App History and Scheduled Access, BHMA, UL 20-Min Fire Rated

I looked at a bunch of smart locks, chose WYZE due to reviews & the fact I have been happy with 3 cameras & a smart outlet from them. The lock was simple to install, took me about 25 minutes, but I have arthritis in my hands. The lighter color was a very close match for our existing hardware, which is a plus. You can lock by simply hitting the lock key on the pad. Unlocking is done with the fingerprint sensor or the keypad using whatever code you choose. The sensor doesn't work for me, but I think it's because of a skin issue I have. It works 100% correctly for my wife. Using the keypad is easy, it lights up in the dark, which is a plus. It's so nice not having to carry a bunch of keys & fiddle with them while holding bags or whatever, trying to unlock the door. I only wish I'd gone to one of these years ago.It takes AA batteries & the app tells you when they're getting low. The keypad will also glow red to let you know. They're on the inside so you don't have to open the door to change them. So far, we're getting about 6 weeks between battery changes, which could be better, but I can live with that.The app is fine. Takes about 6 seconds to connect to the lock & lets you lock/unlock & also keeps a log of each time the lock is opened or closed & by whom. Let's you update firmware & has a manual that's easy to access & use, though I haven't needed it but the one time. There are locks you can pay more for that may have more bells & whistles, but this one is a good value based on features, reliability (so far) & price, in my opinion. Recommended.

Sleek. Glides smoothly to lock. No issues and this was easy to install. The fingerprint part is a nice upgrade. The app makes it so you can open / close remotely and check to make sure you locked your door. It’s pretty great.

My Wyze auto deadbolt was installed about a year and a half before this review. This the experience I have had with it.The installation instructions are very easy to follow and understand. I have installed deadbolts in the past and this was easy. The app that connects via Bluetooth works well, and the features is offers are very useful. Set my family up in the app and we were off and running. Here are some pros and cons I have.ProsDurability of the lock has been amazing. It gets used about 5-10 times a day, and never had a problem where we couldn't get in our house. The lock is very strong and secure.Battery life is very good. You can check battery life in the app. After about 6 months of use the battery only went down 30%. I didn't know if this was calculated percentage by usage or actual battery life, so I changed the batteries and it went back to 100% after about a day.The fingerprint key-less entry is so nice, but with the fingerprint sensor like on the lock and on other devices. If your finger is wet or something has blocked or changed your fingerprint, it will not work. I just use the keypad when this happens.There are some nice features in the app. My favorites are you can set the deadbolt to auto lock after a set time. This is nice when your forgetful like we are. You can add users with just a code to get access, like a contractor or something like that. One feature saved us while we were on vacation. Our neighbor need to get into our house and check something after a bad storm. The app offers a one time use code that will unlock the deadbolt. The app does need to be connected to the internet to access this feature.Overall, this deadbolt from Waze was a game changer for us. Its nice not having to carry keys for the house anymore.Note: If there is any resistance on your current deadbolt when you unlock it. You will have to adjust your striker plate for this deadbolt to work properly. Wyze does offer support with this concern that is in the instruction.

I’ve been using Wyze cameras for a while now, so adding this keypad lock felt like a natural next step—and it did not disappoint. Installation was super easy, and the Wyze app made it even better with a clear, step-by-step tutorial that guided me through the whole process.The lock integrates perfectly with the Wyze app, just like the cameras. I really appreciate the self-locking timer feature—it gives me peace of mind knowing the door locks automatically if I forget. The fingerprint reader is fast and reliable, which makes getting in and out effortless.Overall, it’s a great addition to my smart home setup. If you're already using Wyze products, this lock is a smart and simple way to level up your home security.

Overall this is a great lock. The illuminated keypad stands out nicely in the dark, the fingerprint scanner generally works the first time assuming my fingers aren't dirty, and installation and initial setup only took about 20 minutes.The biggest things against this lock are the fact that it takes 4-AA batteries instead of a lithium ion battery pack, and it is quite loud. The first isn't a big deal, mine uses about 0.5-1% battery life per day from the included Duracell batteries, but having a removable rechargeable battery pack would be more pocket and environmentally friendly. The second thing, the noise level, could make it an issue to some people if it's used at night. I'd put the level about like a battery powered screwdriver, not overwhelmingly loud but if the rest of the house is quiet it does stand out.Other than those two cons it's a great lock for a shop or frequently entered door. It's not Wi-Fi so you can't remotely unlock it or give someone a one time code, though you can setup a visitor profile and change it manually, but it's also one of the most affordable fingerprint locks on the market from a trusted brand.
