TP-Link Tapo DL100 vs Wyze Palm Lock

TP-Link Tapo DL100, thanks to a lower price, IP54 protection, about ten months of AA battery life, Bluetooth plus Wi-Fi and a doorbell button. Wyze Palm Lock is better received and offers palm-vein recognition, which nothing else here can match.

Wyze Palm Lock reads the vein pattern of your hand, unlocking almost instantly and working in total darkness without lighting the keypad, which owners find helpful for kids and anyone who struggles with fingerprints. TP-Link Tapo DL100 has no biometrics of any kind.

TP-Link Tapo DL100 runs about ten months on four AA batteries. Wyze Palm Lock uses a rechargeable pack rated at six months with a secondary battery and USB-C emergency port, but storm or screen doors can keep it awake in proximity mode and drain it far faster.

TP-Link Tapo DL100 offers up to 200 keypad codes, Bluetooth, the app and two mechanical keys. Wyze Palm Lock offers palm recognition, up to 50 keypad codes, the app and a mechanical key, with no fingerprint, NFC or Apple Home Key on either lock.

Both work with Alexa and Google Home, and TP-Link Tapo DL100 adds SmartThings with PIN verification. Neither supports Apple HomeKit or Matter, so an Apple-centric household will not be satisfied by either of them.

Households where someone struggles with codes or fingerprints, or anyone who wants touchless entry that works in the dark, with a dual-battery system guarding against lockouts. If battery endurance, weather protection and price lead your list, TP-Link Tapo DL100 is the sounder purchase.
