Good device.
Eufy customer service looked at the issue and found out that my Homebase 3 is overloaded (too many devices). After removing the lock and adding it to WiFi, most of the connection issues seem to have been resolved. The palm open is a hit or miss, but definitely happy it connects when I need it.Original review -I was excited when this was announced, but it’s been a frustrating experience. The installation was straightforward, but it’s extremely unreliable. It stays offline most of the time. Palm reader is a hit or miss. Only thing that works properly is the key code. If I wanted that, there are a ton of options. Notifications are also either missed or so delayed, it makes this useless. Asked customer service for help, but they have not been able to help at all. No other device in the home is so flaky.

Great lock overall, especially if you have a good use case for all its features.
The media could not be loaded. I was very excited about this lock and it mostly lives up to expectations. It does what its advertised to do and it does it well. Once you know where to place your palm, it's easy to always get it right the first time and have the door unlock quickly. The palm vein unlock method itself is very cool and will make you feel like you're living in the future and should be a fun thing to show off to others at first too.The camera also does a good job for those who want a 2 in 1 combo or don't want to replace their old dumb doorbell. I won't be using the video doorbell feature for monitoring because I already have a video doorbell though. But I still wanted it because my parents stay with me sometimes and I don't have windows near the front door or a peep hole so the screen on the inside is a very useful feature for them so they can see who is at the door without having to open it. So for anybody in my position with elderly or kids, I think the version with the screen can be very useful to have.As for my dislikes. Two things stick out to me. First is that the lock motor is slow. Some new locks have much faster motors to turn the deadbolt nowadays. The Eufy on the other hand still uses a very slow one. Not a big deal, but it's a minor annoyance because I would like to see progress. The other is that the lock won't give you an option to turn on the interior screen automatically whether it senses motion or someone rings the doorbell. I know this was probably done intentionally to save battery. But they should give us to the option to have the screen turn on with one method or another so we can already see who is there when we approach the door.Other than that I am a Home Assistant user and integrated this lock into HA using Matter over WiFi. Only the lock and battery is exposed. You won't be able to expose the camera stream over Matter though. But for those that use Google Home or Alexa, the live stream is available. Control is fast(around ~1.5 seconds) but won't feel instant. That's just a minor nitpick on my part since I want everything to be as fast as turning on and off a light lol. I've had no issues like random disconnects so far. But it has only been a day so we'll see. Same goes for the battery life. No idea again since it has only been a day.All that being said I think it's still deserving of a perfect score because the main features of this lock are executed pretty well. I have a few nitpicks with it but I don't think it should be knocked down because of that. Compared to what is available right now, it's pretty much one of a kind with all that it has to offer. Just be sure that you want all these features because there are definitely cheaper options out there if you only want a palm lock or a lock/video doorbell combo. But for those that want it all, I think this is our only option and I can at least say that it does it well.

I love that it has a peep hole screen built in!
I love my lock. I already had Eufy cameras and doorbell, so this fit right in. I like that as I walk up to my door, I just hold out my hand the it magically unlocks. The main reason I got this and made my parents get this is because of the screen on the back. Neither of us have peep holes, and although we both already had doorbell cameras, the app always takes a little bit to boot up. This lock just lets us walk up, click the botton on the back, and 2 seconds later we can see who is outside the front door.This lock was also very easy to install. I had little bit of a hard time getting it to hook up in the app, because it was so new, it wasn't listed in the app as devices to add. But I was able to eventually get it all figured out.
