Aqara’s official Amazon storefront is now offering its Smart Lock U300 with Apple Home Key support down at $179.99 shipped. This deal knocks $50 off both the Silver and Black variants.
The Aqara Smart Lock U300 takes the form of an elegant-looking smart lock solution that combines a fingerprint sensor alongside a keypad, and Apple Home Key for various entry options. With Apple Home Key you can leverage hands-free access with Siri or simply use your iPhone or Apple Watch for tap to unlock.
Embedded directly the front of the handle, you’ll also find a fingerprint sensor equipped with a “160×160 pixel sensor array” – this, according to Aqara, “achieves recognition in under 0.3 seconds with a False Acceptance Rate below 0.0001%, and supports up to 25 stored fingerprints for the whole family.”
This model delivers Matter Over Thread tech in order to connect with “multiple smart home platforms simultaneously” as well as a “faster response, more stable connectivity, lower power consumption, and secure data transmission.”
A series of in-app controls – “auto-lock timing to fit your routine and enable Scheduled Quiet Mode for silent operation during nighttime or specific hours” – also join 10 months of battery life on four AA batteries while dual USB-C ports are available for backup power.
- Seamless Apple Home Key Experience: Tap your iPhone or Apple Watch to unlock, or use Siri for effortless hands-free access—perfectly integrated with the Apple ecosystem. *Note: Apple Home Key and all Apple features require a Thread-enabled Apple hub (HomePod 2nd Gen / HomePod mini / Apple TV 4K 2021/2022).
- High-Resolution Fingerprint Sensor for Faster, More Accurate Unlocking: Equipped with a 160×160 pixel sensor array—double the size of common 128×96 sensors—U300 captures richer fingerprint details for a truly instant experience. Achieves recognition in under 0.3 seconds with a False Acceptance Rate below 0.0001%, and supports up to 25 stored fingerprints for the whole family.
- Matter Over Thread for Multi-Ecosystem Compatibility: Built with Matter over Thread, the U300 can connect to multiple smart home platforms simultaneously, allowing you to enjoy the unique features of each ecosystem. Thread offers faster response, more stable connectivity, lower power consumption, and secure data transmission. Note: A Thread-enabled Matter controller from each ecosystem is required for its respective platform.
