2026 verdict
Pick the Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2 if you want the lower priced Wyze smart lock with a fingerprint reader and the longer battery rating of the two.
It unlocks with a learning fingerprint scanner, an anti-peep keypad, the app or one of its backup keys, runs on eight AA batteries rated for about 8 months against the Palm Lock's 6, and has a USB-C emergency port for a flat battery. The Wyze Palm Lock is the better reviewed lock and trades the fingerprint reader for palm-vein recognition that works in the dark, with a rechargeable main battery backed by a secondary one, one-time guest codes, radar presence detection and listed Google Home support. Both are Wi-Fi deadbolts rated IP53, work with Alexa, relock when the door closes and skip Apple Home and Matter. Choose the Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2 for dependable fingerprint entry on a budget, and the Wyze Palm Lock for touchless entry for kids or anyone fingerprints fail.

What the differences mean
Fingerprint or palm
The Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2 reads fingerprints with a scanner that learns and speeds up with use. The Wyze Palm Lock reads palm veins instead, touchless and usable in the dark, which owners say helps where fingerprints fail. Neither has NFC or Apple Home Key.
Batteries
The Bolt v2 runs on eight AA cells rated for about 8 months. The Palm Lock uses a rechargeable main pack rated for about 6 months plus a secondary battery that takes over while the main one charges. Both have a USB-C emergency port.
Google Home
The Wyze Palm Lock lists Google Home support alongside Alexa. For the Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2, Wyze documents Alexa and does not say whether Google Home works, so a Google household should check before buying.
Guest codes and sensing
The Wyze Palm Lock offers one-time guest codes and uses millimetre wave radar to wake as someone approaches. The Bolt v2 does not document one-time codes and has no presence sensing.
Which one to buy if
- you want the longest time between battery changes
The Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2 is rated for about 8 months on its AA cells.
- someone in the house cannot use a fingerprint reader
The Wyze Palm Lock reads palm veins, which owners say works where fingerprints did not.
- there is a storm or screen door in front of the lock
Palm Lock owners report that a storm door keeps it awake and drains the battery; the Bolt v2 has no proximity wake to trip.
- your home runs on Google Home
The Wyze Palm Lock lists Google Home support, which is not documented for the Bolt v2.

What owners say
Owners of both Wyze locks praise an easy install on an existing deadbolt, a clear app that lives alongside their Wyze cameras and a USB-C port that rules out a lockout when the battery dies. What they single out differs. Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2 owners love a fingerprint reader that opens in about a second and gets quicker with use, and remote alerts when the lock fails to engage; they mention a bulky body, a 2.4 GHz-only Wi-Fi setup, prints that are hard to enroll for elderly users and no easy way to pause auto-lock. Wyze Palm Lock owners describe a palm read that works in total darkness and helps kids who cannot manage codes, and like the backup battery that takes over while charging; their main complaint is battery drain behind a storm or screen door, plus a learning curve for palm position and several hours to recharge.
