Aqara Smart Lock U300, Fingerprint Keyless Entry Door Lock with Handle, Matter Over Thread with Apple Home Keys, Touchscreen Keypad, Smart Lever Lock Supports Apple Home, Alexa, Google, IFTTT, Black

I've owned several smart locks over the years. The Aqara U300 is my favorite of them all. PROS - 1) Simple installation - if you use HomeKit it integrates into Apple Home easily without need for a separate WiFi hub, the Aqara locks were built for HomeKit so this feels like the closest thing to an Apple built smart lock. 2) Sleek design - no bulging battery pack on the inside, small footprint for the equipment on the outside, hands down this is the best looking smart lock I've ever seen. 3) Fingerprint scanner is very quick - sets up a lot like a fingerprint ID on an iPhone 4) Apple HomeKey is incredible - HomeKey is added to Wallet on iPhone (of all Household members of your Apple Family who have access to Home) automatically when the lock is added to Home. Just tap your iPhone or Apple Watch on the outside display and the lock opens immediately, you don't even need to turn on your iPhone or Watch, just tap and open the door. CONS - 1) No WiFi connection to Aqara APP - only connects via Bluetooth. Which isn't too much of a hassle, because once setup through Apple Home, remote operation (locking and unlocking) is available. But you need the Aqara app to setup additional users, their passcode and their fingerprint scan, all things that need to be done close to the lock, so lack of a WiFi connection on the app is not a deal breaker. But just be aware, if you are adding additional users, you need the Aqara APP, and you need to be very close to the lock. 2) It RE-LOCKS very quickly. When you unlock this lock you have a very short time to open the door, or it will re-lock. I understand wanting to keep the house secure - but there are times when a 10 minute delay re-lock would be helpful - like bringing in your groceries from the garage, your hands are full it's not convenient to be trying to put your thumb on the fingerprint reader, or trying to tap your Apple Watch on the display. There is a setting in the Aqara APP called PASSAGE MODE - I set that to 10 minutes. To activate PASSAGE MODE, you need to push a button on the top of the inside portion of the lock, and verify with a passcode, fingerprint or Apple Watch / iPhone bump on the outside portion of the lock. That then stops the lock from re-locking for the set amount of time - IF you remember to hit that little button. It would just be easier to have the 10 minute delay activate every time. Lots of PROS for this lock - and a few CONS - but a HIGHLY recommended smart lock!!

Funciona perfectamente, la instalación es fácil siguiendo las instrucciones además se puede usar Apple Homekey

We got a bunch of U100 and U200 locks previously and Aqara lying to us! The batteries last a lot longer than they say! And I pass through our doors a lot more often than the average person. And yes, I'm in a cold climate in both Detroit where we lived and now in the mountains of West Virginia. For the house in WV I ordered six of these and installed one to date. Did so right at the beginning on the cold. When I installed the lock it was 70º, sunny and beautiful. By the time we left it was 24º and the lock was crusted over in a thick layer of ice. Get this! The lock read my thumb print through the nice - no problem! And the keypad also worked brilliantly. I've got to say Aqara, at least with their lock products, seems to have an "under promise and over deliver" policy and I love it! I don't like to mention competing products in reviews but I've got to say: I removed our top-of-the-line Level Lock Plus in favor of an Aqara lock. They're more responsive, less troublesome, and far more trustworthy as devices go. You get the sense from their marketing that Level is the top of the heap but they're not. If you're running an Apple Home these are the ones you want. Turn on Express Passage and your door unlocks the first time you raise your device to it - every time, though you'll never use the feature with these as the thumb print is so much more convenient. I don't work for them. I didn't receive a test product. I'm just a really, really impressed and extremely happy customer. Aqara did it again with the U300. It's about as perfect as lock as you could hope for if you're needing a smart knob-replacement lock that truly supports your chosen ecosystem. Go on and buy with confidence. These things are dope. ❤️💋 Regarding some of the issues reported by users here and in other places: 1) Communication issues are likely environmental in my experience. Make sure you have an AppleTV, HomePod, or HomePod mini within 30ft of your lock. Make sure there's no brick and very little plaster and lathe between your lock and your HomeKit or Aqara hub. 2) Apple Home, HomeKey and other issues: Just remember you don't actually need the Aqara App if you're using HomeKit. It's a good idea to use the app so the lock is associated with you through their app and your account, but the app itself has nothing at all to do with HomeKit. In fact, anything you do through HomeKit is written to the lock separately. They're two different worlds and Aqara was wise to keep them separate. 3) If you're thinking about a smart lock have a look at your door first. If your closure is weird or unreliable, if after your close your door you notice there's a lot of pressure on the knob latch, or if your door frame has simply relinquished "square", this or any other smart lock is likely going to be problematic. Manual locks on doors that require fidgeting to make work are generally fine because they're manual. But those same doors are likely to introduce problems as most smart locks are made for new doors, or at least doors that close and rest properly. Be sure to assess your door first, If it has problems get those addressed BEFORE trying to install any smart lock. A bad closure will see your locks fail, not last, batteries may die faster...

I bought this lock for my bedroom, and it's easy to install as long as your door has the standard holes. Till now it works well. You'll need a Matter hub to monitor.

1 star because I can’t give less. First one I purchased moisture developed under the keypad after a few months. Contacted them, they sent a replacement. The replacement came and would not setup. The main pad stayed dark so it could not be used. I was asked to send a video, which I did. Their email could not accept the video, so I had to compress them send and after a week I got a response saying they needed a longer video of me going through the setup process, which I couldn’t because there wasn’t a working pad. Needless to say I did not get a second replacement. Also the iPhone setup is horrible. After hours of googling and YouTube videos I finally managed to set my phone up to unlock (which is the only reason I purchased this model to begin with) Please do not purchase this product, it will only last a few months and give out. Absolute garbage.
