Awesome Tips Wyze Lock + Keypad Review: cheap, but can you trust it?
The Wyze Lock has officially launched! I’m reviewing it with its add-on keypad to see if it’s a good smart lock option. Wyze Lock can auto-lock/unlock and detect if the door is open or closed. I’ll show you how well these features worked for me and try out the accessory keypad.

Trusting a company with your front door security is a big deal, so I’ll also explain if the Wyze Lock is secure enough for keeping your home safe.

Can you use the keypad independent of the lock with HA? I am looking for a keypad in this form factor to control access to other areas
Thanks for the review
💯🥰Works great Newest.Technology no problems🤣🤣🤣🤣
when batteies die and lock does not work .. you can be locked in .. i was surprised
They've improved the functionality of the lock tremendously. The auto unlock works flawlessly at least for me. They've also added a "trash" mode where it disables auto lock for a bit so you don't get locked out.
Can the Keypad be mounted on the door itself to work with the Wyze deadbolt lock?
Does Wyze make a smart deadbolt for a narrow stile aluminum door??
🗑️
"Trust"??? Well, if you can "trust" that it can stay connected to your wifi…. maybe. None of my Wyze devices can stay connected. I have a Ring Stick-Up cam that has stayed connected to my wifi for 4 YEARS STRAIGHT!!! I can't get my Wyze cams to stay connected for 4 DAYS without having to restart them. Your choice, though.
When I'm not on my home wifi and out of the geofence the auto unlock works for me.
Have you reviewed the august smart lock yet?
The gateway is a deal breaker for me.
hi reed, did they fix the lock sensor (open/close)? is that feature working ok now?
I’ll have the Yale Assure lock Touchscreen.
Anybody ever tell you that you and Davey Boy Smith Jr. look alike?
This lock works great I have had one for over a year and it works flawlessly
I've had August lock for a couple of years now. You didn't develop a lock, picked it up at a Chinese factory. I've been a customer of yours for awhile now and love you guys bringing inexpensive Chinese products to us. I own your cameras, vacuums, scale, Sprinkler… Thank you!
March 2021 and they are still selling these half-baked products with a highly unreliable door open/close status detection feature
may I take keypad with me away ?
Hi So this can work with smart things?
what do you think of the lock now, if your still using, and has there been updates for it
My problem is color selection. They need to make more colors match your door hardware. I have the rubbed bronze color deadbolt and door handle. Why would I want silver ?
Wyze is a amazing company, my brother has all the cameras and sensors and I ordered the head phones and their all great
Such a great Video. I did a review video on the Wyze headphones @ http://www.youtube.com/c/Elikeathley
:),I like your videos, I received the same one from newigstyle..com three weeks ago, delivery by Fedex,wonderful quality !!!
My auto-open works great! Arms full from the store, walk down the hall & I hear it unlock.
Oh phooey! Forget it!
Can you use this for a bedroom door (I have a spare bedroom and that is where I work)?
I’m surprised they don’t have a solar panel that you can attach to the bottom or top of the lock to charge the batteries.
Thanks for the video. I have the wyze lock. Have not run any problems. It's working well. I thought about the key pad but it seems to be too bulky. I can see it as another option of accessing the home. Thing is I use my keys either way because I lock both locks. If there is a few people that live in the house then some of those features wouldn't be use or will be a waste of time to use them.
Six months later, are you still having the same issues with the lock?
After leaving your home, can you set it up where even if someone has a physical key can't get in?
I will be able to send one to Brazil, here it is not. it only has wyze cam pan.
Is this compatible with SmartThings?
Great review. 👍🏻 Just subscribed. Looking forward to more reviews. Thanks.
I am willing to bet that a strong magnet will be able to confuse the mechinism that locks and unlocks your lock. It should be noted that this simple hack is well known and as a result I would not trust that lock as my primary deadbolt lock. Don't take my word for it check out the lock picking lawyers youtube channel
I use HOOBs to bring in Wyze devices into HomeKit. Have you tried this, and do you know if the lock would show up in HomeKit with HOOBs?
I got a Wyze lock as well for my front door, had it for a few months now and just installed the keypad yesterday since I came close to locking myself out with the auto-lock feature. Overall it’s a good smart lock for the price you pay but I probably wouldn’t recommend it just yet. I have the same issue with the lock being out of calibration with my kids not closing the door all the way or leaving it open. Have to recalibrate constantly and so it’s definitely a pain. The auto unlock feature worked for me every time I drive home from work but one time it unlocked by itself in the middle of the night so I ended up disabling that feature .
Hi. I purchased the lock. And never had the issues you had but I’m glad I saw your review because I had doubts about the keypad and not being able to secure it better makes me want to wait for some improvements
I like my wyze lock. It has worked really well and I haven’t had the issues you had in the video. The keypad I like as I placed it out of view so nobody knows I have a smart lock.
What happens if the batteries run out? Is the lock open automatically?
What if I'm outside? Am i locked outside?
The lock+keypad would be perfect for that service door leading from the garage to the backyard. We keep the keys on a hook inside so we have to bring the key with us when using that door for every little thing.
I’d be more concerned that your door is installed wrong. Hinges should be on the inside. Someone could pop those hinges off from the outside and it doesn’t matter what lock you have at that point. I hope this is something you fixed after making this video!!
All the sensor issues you outline, door ajar, proximity unlocking, i had as well. i did a more finite recalibration, changed the ajar gap just a little bit more, and that issue went away. leaving the geo fence issues were more related to my phones, it's Internet and Bluetooth.. once straightened out.. lock had been flawless. early access and haven't had a single issue.
keeping in mind, cost differences, they kept the keypad separate for this. not everyone wants it needs one. As far as it getting stolen, it would be useless I would imagine. MAC id could easily be disabled by WYZE.. average criminal doesn't know that, but would anybody really want to steal a keypad for? Vandals mostly. it's 20 bucks to replace.. even still if you had to replace the entire lock and a key pad you would still come out way ahead of most commercial lock systems available today..
try recalibrating the door, allow inferred just maybe another three-quarter inch to an inch of door open gap.. see how that performs with door ajar alerts.
Amazing review, thank you!!!
Where can you buy the wyze keypad? This is perfect!!!
This dude really said he's running out of room for a small thing? So stupid
