    Amazon-owned Ring launches its first smart lock, with a hand-crank dial for when the battery runs out

    Amazon-owned Ring launches its first smart lock for $249, featuring a built-in hand-crank dial that can manually generate power to unlock the door temporarily when the main battery is depleted. The lock offers four unlocking methods: fingerprint, touch keypad, the Ring app, and Amazon Alexa. It connects via Amazon Sidewalk, and the main battery lasts about one year. The product is expected to launch in the United States in the first quarter of 2027 and will be available in black, silver, and copper. It has not yet received FCC certification.
