Aqara Smart Lock U100, Fingerprint Keyless Entry Door Lock with Apple Home Key, Touchscreen Keypad, Bluetooth Electronic Deadbolt, IP65 Weatherproof, Supports Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google, IFTTT, Gray

Overall this is an excelelnt product amd very good value. I chose it specifically for its Apple HomeKit integration and was not disappointed. The device itself is well made and designed and has “Apple like” quality. HomeKit integration was simple and quick via the QR code on the battery compartment. Some great features, especially the fingerprint reader which , so far, is flawless in functionality. Installation was largely straightforward until I got to attaching the battery on the back of the door. The two screws needed are ridiculously small and very fiddly to insert. Patience and a tiny screwdriver (not included) are required for this part. Recommended.

I got the Aqara Smart Lock because it works with Apple HomeKit, and I love the idea of just holding my phone or Apple Watch to unlock my door. It's super cool and convenient since I always have my phone and Apple Watch with me. Setting it up took a bit longer than I thought it would, but it wasn’t hard—just a little time-consuming. Once I got it up and running, it worked great with Bluetooth. The Bluetooth connection can take a few seconds to connect when I’m close to the lock, so it’s not instant. But once it connects, I can see logs of who opened or closed the door and control the lock. You really need the Aqara hub if you want to check logs or control the lock away from home. I ended up getting the Aqara Smart Hub E1, which is the cheapest one I could find. It took a bit of work to connect it to my Wi-Fi since it only works on 2.4GHz. I had to temporarily disable the 5GHz band on my Eero router, but thankfully, the Eero app made that easy. It disabled the antenna for 30 minutes, which was more than enough time to finish the setup. Make sure you set it up in the Aqara app first before syncing it with HomeKit. I accidentally tried to set it up in HomeKit first, and that caused the Aqara app to not recognize it, so don’t make the same mistake I did! Once the hub was connected, the lock connected super quickly, much faster than with just Bluetooth. You do have the option of controlling the lock with just an Apple HomeKit hub like an Apple TV or iPad without using the Aqara hub at all, but having the Aqara hub is way better. It gives you faster connections and access to all the management tools while away from home, unlike HomeKit, which only lets you lock and unlock it remotely. So if you just care about unlocking and locking while away from home and already have an Apple TV as a hub, then you technically don’t need the Aqara hub as well. Overall, I really recommend the Aqara Smart Lock. It’s the fastest operating lock I’ve ever used, the fingerprint sensor is the most accurate I’ve seen, and it’s been extremely reliable. It has so many ways of opening it that my family finds it very convenient. I love this lock, and I hope it continues to work well for many years.

I replaced an August Wi-Fi smart lock. As much as I wanted to love the August, it does not play well with Apple HomeKit. It will constantly drop off the network, it never worked unless you were within Bluetooth range. But that's another review for another time. This is very easy to install, appears to be very high-quality, and is rock solid stable. Never drops off my network, always available in HomeKit, and always responds to commands. It was super easy to set up; sensor for open/close has been highly accurate and didn't require nearly as much fine-tuning as my old Smart lock. It requires five AA batteries. Still cheaper than a pair of CR123s, which my prior lock ate like candy. Hopefully the battery life will be better. Now for the not so good:, it should be easier to have this re-keyed. I rather liked having all of the deadbolts in my home accessible via single key. not so with this one: this thing uses a non-Kwikset lock tumbler. The native app is absolute trash. The instructions read like they were run through Google translate a few times. Which was surprising. However, once you get it, set up at HomeKit, you can forget about the native app. I would likely replace the other locks with this one. I really dig it.

I have been using this lock for about a year, give or take. I won't be incredibly nit picky about it but here are the highs and lows: PROS: --Easy to Install --Easy to Setup --Easy to Integrate into HomeKit --Battery life is between acceptable and good. --It has yet to leave me stranded outside CONS: -- It will occasionally lose sync with my network so I have to pull a battery and restart it. -- A few times it has somehow decided to enable its auto-locking feature so every time the door closes the lock will lock itself. You have to go into the app and disable it. -- The locking mechanism is pressure-feedback sensitive, so if your door frame tends to swell or otherwise change shape when the seasons change (as most doors do) and make your deadbolt a little sticky, this can cause an excessive force feedback to the lock and the lock will refuse to lock. Adjustments must be made, either to the lock or the door frame. -- It is usually really good at reading fingerprints but from time to time it chooses to be excessively picky and wants you to retry a time or two or three and if you don't scan just exactly right 3 times in a row it alarms and makes an obnoxious noise. All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would buy it again.

جهاز ممتاز جدا ويعمل مع أبل هوم كيت بشكل ممتاز جدا. أكثر ما أعجبني به هو دعمه لنظام nfc من أبل حيث أضع هاتفي الآيفون على الجهاز ويفتح بشكل مباشر دون الحاجة إلى فتح قفل الآيفون بعد تفعيل ميزة الوصول السريع.

The Aqara Smart Lock U100 is an excellent lock. I replaced a similar lock from a legacy vendor that didn’t work as expected and lacked integration with Apple Home. The legacy lock was also more expensive. The Aqara lock connected seamlessly to my Apple Home network, which was fantastic. I quickly programmed user codes and several fingerprints in just a few minutes. The process was intuitive and efficient. I’ve set it up to lock automatically with Apple Home automation at a specific time at night, while also turning off various lights. The lock looks great and operates smoothly when opening and closing. The keypad works well, allowing me to enter user codes, use the fingerprint sensor, or open the lock with our Apple Watches and iPhones. This versatility is impressive. I’m now considering replacing many of my home security devices with Aqara devices because I’m so impressed with this lock and its integration with Apple Home. I highly recommend the Aqara Smart Lock U100.

I did lots of research and finally found Aqara as the best option for me. Easy to install, very high quality build and well integrated with home assistant.

I bought this product a few months ago. At first, it worked perfectly fine, and I installed it on my main door. However, after a short while, it started showing errors and stopped functioning properly. The door wouldn’t open or close as it should, and I ended up being locked out several times. Unfortunately, I received no real help or support — only generic replies telling me to update the software online. The customer service is nonexistent. You’ll just be creating problems for yourself if you buy this product. Don’t waste your money — you’ll regret it. My advice is to choose a product that actually provides reliable customer support.

Fácil de instalar, confiable, siempre funcional (al ser de baterías, no te deja afuera si se te va la luz, pero debes cuidar la diva de las baterías para no llevarte sorpresas). Creo que es un buen kit con buen precio pues incluye dos llaves NFC, llaves físicas, usa huella, funciona con Apple HomeKit nativamente (generalmente abro usando mi Watch); puedes escoger código por habitante y además puedes mandar llaves temporales a visitas (muy útil para la señora del aseo sin tener que darle un juego de llaves). La amo.
