Do you wish<\/span> your front door could see you coming? I certainly do, since I’m usually either wrangling a toddler (often in a swimsuit these days, and dragging along a myriad of towels and floatation devices) or coming back from an outdoor power walk that I’d rather not bring my keys on. I’ve enjoyed geofencing features that let my door unlock when it senses my phone is nearby, or reached for the pin pad to quickly unlock my door with my fingerprint\u2014anything in the name of not needing to hunt for my keys.<\/p>\n

Now, I don’t even need my phone or a free hand. The Lockly Visage, announced at CES 2024<\/a> as part of Lockly’s new Zeno line, uses infrared sensors to see me coming and recognize my face, so that it can unlock my door as I walk up. It also has other common entry options\u2014fingerprint reading, access codes, and brand-new physical keys\u2014if not every member of your house wants their face scanned.<\/p>\n

It’s the first time face recognition has been added to a smart lock that any homeowner (or daring renter) can buy. Similar features have been available in smart security cameras<\/a> and video doorbells<\/a>, but the locks themselves haven’t been able to recognize you\u2014until now. While I found the setup a little frustrating (more on that below), I was happy to find that the lock itself worked perfectly, always recognizing me as I walked up to my house, whether I was wearing sunglasses or was backlit by an intense afternoon sun.<\/p>\n

Ready, Get Set, Set Up<\/h2>\n
