![]() On the Wyze, it’s right in front near the top and it’s a little bit more awkward to get my finger against that reader. On the Lockly, it’s to the side of the lock. The buttons are different as well – they have a little more resistance and a better tactile feel.Īfter having used the Lockly Secure Pro for quite a while, I do like the ergonomics of the Lockly a bit more for using the fingerprint scanner. But on the Lock Bolt, it feels very solid. On the older Wyze Lock, the optional number pad felt like a budget accessory. In my experience so far, unlocking the Wyze Lock Bolt is seamless with both the number pad and the fingerprint scanner. For that functionality, you’ll need the older Wi-Fi-connected Wyze Lock. From what I can tell, that also means you can’t use it in Wyze’s rules like having the lights turn on when the lock is opened. You’ll need to be close enough to it to connect via Bluetooth. One big difference to the older Wyze Lock is that the Wyze Lock Bolt doesn’t have Wi-Fi, which means it can’t be unlocked remotely. You can enter random numbers before and after your code to help prevent anyone from seeing what numbers you entered are your actual code so long as your code is entered at any point in a long stream of numbers, just hit the unlock button after and the lock will open. No peekingĪnother safety feature is the “anti-peep” tech. Auto-lock can also be disabled during certain hours if you want it to remain open during the day, for example. You can also set scheduled access times if you only want people to be able to access the lock at certain times.Īn auto-lock mode can be enabled with different time increments if you want the lock to take care of itself. Once set, the app allows for changing access settings which include creating users, adding additional fingerprints, and even setting user-specific access codes. The final part of the setup is selecting a four-digit code that can be used to unlock the door as well as scanning a fingerprint to use to unlock the Wyze Lock Bolt. If I ever had a question, it was easy to find the answer just by watching a short video clip. Wyze also has instructions with video demonstrations built into the app when you add a Wyze Lock Bolt to your devices. Luckily, Wyze does provide a template that helps line up where to drill those holes if needed.įor me, I was replacing a standard deadbolt which made the setup process quick and easy. ![]() Set up can go pretty quickly, but if you don’t have a deadbolt already installed or at least holes drilled, it can take a bit longer. There is a physical lock for the deadbolt. On the inside, the lock is a bit larger but still fairly clean overall. The keypad is backlit for easy use at night. That also means that there is no lock to pick. On the outside, there is no key slot so that helps to tidy things up. Otherwise, it has a simple modern design to it. One interesting thing about the Wyze Lock Bolt is that there aren’t any color options it comes in black and that’s it.
