Eufy Announces Three New Smart Locks with Matter Support
Eufy expands its FamiLock range with three Matter-compatible smart locks spanning facial recognition, palm-vein scanning and a conventional fingerprint model with Matter over Thread.
Eufy unveiled the FamiLock E40, E35 and E32, all supporting Matter for integration across Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings.
The short version
- The flagship FamiLock E40 combines a smart lock, 2K video doorbell and security camera, with facial recognition and locally stored facial data.
- The E40 has a 135-degree field of view, a 60GHz radar sensor to cut false alerts, and a 15,000mAh battery plus 800mAh backup.
- The FamiLock E35 (sold as E34 in some regions) uses palm-vein recognition in about 0.6 seconds, with built-in Wi-Fi and a 10,000mAh battery rated for up to eight months.
- The conventional FamiLock E32 offers fingerprint, keypad and physical-key entry and supports Matter over Thread.
- All three locks work with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings and other Matter platforms.
- No pricing or specific availability dates were given in the announcement.
Why it matters
Matter support across an entire lock lineup makes it easier to mix Eufy hardware into any major ecosystem without being tied to one app. The inclusion of Matter over Thread on the entry model, alongside biometric options like palm-vein scanning higher up the range, shows how quickly low-power standards and advanced access methods are reaching mainstream smart locks.
