Aqara Smart Lock U100 – Apple Home Key, fingerprint reader, and more
The Smart Lock U100 offers nine methods of unlocking. Very few of the smart deadbolt locks on the market can be directly linked with Apple Home the way it can, allowing Apple users to leverage a wide range of simple and secure unlocking methods whether it be a quick and simple tap via your iPhone, without one using an Apple Watch, or even the onboard fingerprint reader (it can store up to 50 fingerprints at a time). With Apple’s password system, you can generate passwords for family and friends as well, or temporary, periodic, and remotely configurable Visitor Passwords for housekeepers, dog walkers, or otherwise. And just for peace of mind, there’s also a USB-C backup solution and the ability to use a traditional mechanical key as well.Â
Make remembering to lock the door a thing of the past
Forget to lock the door sometimes when you’re in a hurry? Things happen, and the Aqara Smart Lock U100 is here to make sure it doesn’t. By way of its integrated gyroscope, door status sensing system, and open door log, the U100 will ensure your door is always locked when it is closed, send you direct notifications if it isn’t, and keep tabs on every time it is unlocked and opened. Â
With these features in tow, users can also make use of the handy Do Not Disturb mode. Whether you’re coming in late, working off hours or otherwise, the lock’s Do Not Disturb mode can mute the sound the door makes within certain periods of time to avoid waking up the family, disturbing the dog, or otherwise affecting your family’s sleep.Â
Personalized Whole home smart integrations
As mentioned above, the Aqara Smart Lock U100 also works in tandem with a wide range of the brand’s other smart home gear. This allows for it to accomodate various family members and scenarios in a completely customized manner.Â
For example, with the Aqara Video Doorbell G4, when someone presses the doorbell you can quickly view who is at the door and choose to unlock the U100. It can be set to trigger various automations depending on who is coming home as well – you can trigger the ceiling light and set the air conditioning to a certain temperature. Or perhaps have hallway lights come on and have your Sonos speaker serenade you as soon as you arrive home. But these are just a few examples to give you an idea of how the Smart Lock U100 can work alongside the rest of your smart home ecosystem – the options are nearly endless.Â
