Wyze, a company known for creating products that make homes smart and safe, today announced the revamped Wyze Lock Bolt v2. This next-generation smart lock features a completely re-freshed design compared to its predecessor with durable, anti-glare tempered glass, increased durability, and AI self-learning fingerprint technology. The biggest update for the Lock Bolt v2 is built-in Wi-Fi, enabling users to control and monitor their lock status from anywhere using the Wyze app. This offers a monumental leap in both convenience and peace of mind for users.
“Wyze Lock Bolt v1 has been one of our top selling products over the last few years. Customers love the features and especially the price, but the main feedback from some users was that the reduced cost wasn’t worth losing Wi-Fi access,” said Dave Crosby, Co-Founder and CMO at Wyze. “We came up with some creative ways to address this by allowing a Wyze Video Doorbell to control the lock with WiFi, but ultimately we knew we needed a Lock Bolt v2. Our goal was to build a product at the same price as Lock Bolt v1, but with WiFi control. With this new model we managed to do that and upgrade the design and add faster unlocking, better battery life, and using AI for even faster fingerprint reading.”
The integration of built-in Wi-Fi grants users full control and remote monitoring. Further, the Lock Bolt v2 is designed for intuitive access, offering five distinct ways to unlock and a biometric fingerprint scanner, ensuring every user, from family members to temporary guests, has a seamless and secure way to enter.
