Aqara U100 Smart Lock
with Apple Home / Key Support
The highly anticipated Aqara U100 is now available in Singapore. Why this model? It has a maximum number of unlock methods including fingerprint, remote unlock, one time use pin and periodic access. It integrates into Google and Apple Home automation platforms should you wish to (e.g. turn on other devices when it detects your fingerprint). It is also a deadbolt: physically more secured into the door frame (compared to a rim lock type) and small enough to be subtle. The best reason is the price for all these benefits.

The Aqara Smart Lock U100 deadbolt lock from Aqara, offers a secure and convenient home access solution that can be seamlessly integrated into modern smart homes. The U100 lock is one of the few smart locks in the market that is compatible with Apple HomeKit and also supports the home key feature in Apple Wallet - so you can open your door by just tapping your iPhone or Apple Watch to it. Other access authentication options include fingerprints, passwords, Aqara Home mobile phone app, NFC cards, and mechanical keys. Based on the Zigbee protocol, the U100 supports Matter via a compatible Aqara hub. This U100 Bluetooth and Zigbee lock will also support Matter when connected to a compatible Aqara hub, the first of which is getting a Matter update this month. Notably, when connected to the hub, your fingerprint can be used to trigger personalized scenes in the home.
Aqara U100 Benefits:
● Apple Home and Home Key Support: With a touch of the Apple Home App or Apple Watch, the door can be opened immediately and conveniently. No need for cumbersome keys and other redundant actions. Now, opening doors can also be a cool thing to do. Tap, tap, open a smart home.
● Built-In Fingerprint Reader and Keypad: Opening doors is now even easier. Just press your fingerprint lightly, or use the keyboard to enter the password, and the door can be opened within 0.5 seconds, with an accuracy rate of 98.6%. No keys and no cell phone
required. At the same time, the finger pressing surface is made of frosted matte material, so there is no need to worry about the password being peeped or stolen. You can also generate periodic passwords* to share with temporary visitors, so you don't have to run home to open the door or hide keys.
● Auto Lock and Door Status Sensing**: Thanks to the built-in gyroscope inside the lock for door detection, the Aqara U100 can track its state, and can sense the status of the door, which allows it to remind you in case of forgetting to close the door, and even lock the door automatically after you close it.
● Automations with Aqara and Third-Party Devices: With an Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub, the Aqara U100 is compatible with third-party ecosystems like Google Home, Alexa, IFTTT**** as well as Aqara Home app, allowing it to be easily integrated into a wide range of smart home setups and used in smart home automations. For example, when someone presses the Aqara video doorbell G4, you will be able to view who is on your porch and easily unlock the Aqara U100 in case it is needed.
● Focus on Security and Durability: The Aqara U100 still places security as a top priority with a solid catalpa alloy shell and safe lock body structure. The keyboard is designed with a matte texture and backlight for anti-peeping, and can use random password + correct password, making your password unlocking method more secure and effective.
● Additional and Emergency Unlock Methods: While Aqara U100 provides intelligent unlocking methods, it still provides solutions for users' emergencies. If the battery is exhausted, you can connect the USB-C externally for temporary power unlocking. And,
use a mechanical key for traditional unlocking. When the smart door lock encounters a sudden emergency, there is no need to panic anymore.
● Up to 8-month Battery Life & IP65 Waterproof: Thanks to the energy-efficient Zigbee protocol, the Aqara U100 has a long battery life, lasting up to 8 months***. Once the lock is discharged, you will be notified, and its AA batteries can be easily replaced. Moreover, it has an IP65 waterproof rating, and the applicable ambient temperature in outer panel is - 35 °C~66 °C.
Disclaimers

**Completed door status sensing will be ready by the end of Q3, 2023 in Aqara app.
***Calculated by opening the door 8 times a day, the battery life is 8 months.
****IFTTT will support in H2 of 202
