With the FamiLock E34, eufy presents an intelligent door lock that combines modern biometrics with robust hardware. Developed for everyday use in family households, the model offers palm vein detection, sophisticated backup systems and full smart home compatibility – a coherent solution for users with high demands on security and convenience.

  • Palm vein authentication: extremely high recognition rate (99.99999%) and lightning-fast opening in 0.1 seconds
  • Dual power system: 10,000 mAh main battery + 750 mAh backup, up to eight months runtime
  • Wi-Fi & Matter support: direct control via app, Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings
  • Intelligent door sensor: prevents accidental locking and notifies in the event of unauthorized access

Biometric security at a professional level

The FamiLock E34 relies on vein pattern recognition using palm vein scanning – a process that is considered virtually forgery-proof due to the unique vein structure in the hand. The technology works with an accuracy of 99.99999% and unlocks in just 0.1 seconds.

All sensitive data is stored locally on the lock, making unauthorized access virtually impossible. This level of biometric security is ideal for families where several people have regular access.

The speed and precision of the recognition makes the E34 pleasantly intuitive: a quick touch of the hand is all it takes for the door to open without delay – ideal if you are carrying bags or want to hold the door open for children.

Sophisticated backup concept for greater reliability

The FamiLock E34 also impresses with its power supply: It has a powerful 10,000 mAh rechargeable battery that allows up to eight months of operation without recharging. This is supplemented by a 750 mAh backup battery, which automatically takes over in the event of a power failure or change of the main battery.

This dual system ensures operation even in unforeseen situations – a clear advantage over other smart locks, which often manage without a backup. Users can therefore rest assured: Access remains guaranteed even in the event of power or battery problems.

Smart functions and Home Kit integration
The E34 integrates seamlessly into existing smart home environments. Thanks to integrated Wi-Fi, the lock can be controlled remotely via the eufy app – without the need for a bridge. Support for Matter enables compatible use with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings.

The device also features an intelligent door sensor that detects whether the door is completely closed before automatic locking is activated. In the event of unauthorized unlocking, a notification is sent immediately – ideal for families with children or temporary guests.

DIY-friendly installation and broad door compatibility make the lock an uncomplicated retrofit solution. Backed by an 18-month electronic and 36-month mechanical warranty and 24/7 support, eufy offers comprehensive services.

Conclusion: security, convenience and smart home integration

With the eufy FamiLock E34, eufy presents a smart lock that cleverly combines technical sophistication and family-friendly suitability for everyday use. Palm vein authentication provides high security and fast operation, the dual-power system ensures reliability, and Matter compatibility guarantees flexible control – ideal for modern households.
