Nuki Smart Lock Go vs Wyze Palm Lock

Full Smart Door Locks comparison in 2026

Updated July 2026
Data from Amazon and official Nuki and Wyze sites.
2026 verdict
Wyze Palm Lock wins on price, rating, weather resistance and built-in access features. It costs less, reviews better, carries an IP53 rating where the Nuki has none, and ships complete with palm-vein recognition, an illuminated anti-peep keypad, one-time guest codes, Wi-Fi remote control and a dual-battery safety net. Nuki Smart Lock Go answers with far broader integrations, native Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter over Thread versus the Wyze's Alexa and Google only, plus geolocation auto-unlock and a 2-year warranty, though keypad or biometric entry costs extra and it fits European cylinders rather than deadbolts. Both auto-lock when the door closes. For most buyers wanting keyless entry that just works, the Wyze Palm Lock takes this; multi-platform smart homes on Euro doors stay with Nuki.
