I’ve got to hand it to the SwitchBot Lock Vision Pro and its palm-vein authentication

Getting locked out sucks. Besides just being incredibly inconvenient, it can also prove dangerous and expensive. But luckily for all of us, we’re basically living in the future, and locks have gotten so robust with their feature sets that there are fewer and fewer excuses for getting locked out in the first place all the time. With its new Lock Vision Pro, SwitchBot takes that kind of forward thinking to the extreme, offering a smart lock with its own redundant power supply and over half a dozen different ways to authenticate your access.

Is this the end-all, be-all of smart locks, or has SwitchBot bitten off more than it can chew? Let’s take a look at exactly what the Lock Vision Pro offers, and how well it performs in day-to-day usage.
