Simple installation, easy to follow instructions, the old deadbolt hole in the door was able to accommodate the WYZE lock system with no adjustments. So easy to install after downloading the app on my phone. Bluetooth connected to the lock with no hassles. Setting up was simple. Figured out.Works well, but every so often needs to see my other hand to unlock, this one star decrease.
Palm lock is a great idea in theory. It worked great after install but after a few days we gave it a temporary code for our neighbors to take care of our cat, they got so frustrated with it that they had to call us while we were away because "sometimes the code works and sometimes not", when we returned, sure enough we stand at the door as the palm lock doesn't even recognize our own palms, and doesn't open with our passcodes either.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there! I’m really sorry you had this experience with the Wyze Palm Lock and especially after it worked well at first. A code or palm working only “sometimes” is definitely not normal. Issues like this are usually caused by calibration errors, a low battery, or a sync problem between the lock and the app. Re-calibrating the lock, updating the firmware, and deleting/re-adding passcodes often fixes it.

This beats yale by a million miles, removable rechargable battery with a backup and usb port if you want to charge it on the door. It has cool tech and doesn't disconnect constantly.
Very pleased with the palm lock from wise. My wife is always forgetting her key and this makes it a lot easier for her. Also her daughter forgets and it makes it easier to know when someone other than the wife or myself have been in our house.
