Data from the official Schlage and Wyze sites.
2026 verdict
Wave a hand instead of tapping a code: Wyze Palm Lock is the smarter everyday smart lock against the Schlage Encode.
It costs less, reviews better, adds one-time guest codes and an anti-peep keypad, and unlocks by palm-vein even in the dark, with a dual-battery backup and USB-C port. The Schlage Encode answers with Home Assistant and Key by Amazon support on top of Alexa and Google Home, which the Wyze Palm Lock also covers, and neither offers HomeKit or Matter. Both auto-lock after the door closes. Pick the Wyze Palm Lock for touchless family entry; pick the Schlage Encode when rental-code workflows matter more than biometrics.
