This video shows the new Aqara U200 Retrofit Smart Lock.
The U200 from Aqara works with all major smart home platforms, including Apple Home, Google, Alexa Home Assistant and more!
It features HomeKey to unlock as well as a fingerprint scanner built into the keypad. You can use a different code for different people in the household and even use a temporary passcode that expires after a single use.
The U200 smart lock from Aqara also works with the Aqara M3 hub, enabling even more features such as remote unlock and as it is Matter enabled, you can use it with multiple platforms at the same time.
Aqara U200 Notable Features:
1. Home Key support through Apple Home, Fingerprint, Passcode entry, NFC and app unlocking and locking.
2. Quiet lock and unlock
3. Passage mode which is useful for parties
4. Failed Attempt Lockout to prevent unauthorised entry.
5. An anti theft alarm if someone tries to remove/tamper with the keypad
6. Door status settings and alarms
&. Ability for automations & routines such as pairing a door & window sensor to lock automatically when the door is closed or using a smart button with a short cut to lock and unlock the door.
And much more.
I would like to give a MASSIVE shout out to @Aqara who let me test the unit. Full disclosure, Aqara has not sponsored this video and I have been given no instruction for its content. Having said this I genuinely love this lock. Its features are vast, it is robust and it is reliable.
Also, a massive thanks to HomeKit News & Reviews who gave me my first ever mention! His channel is amazing with informative videos and quite frankly amazing at what he does. He has also reviewed the U200 here • Video
Compatibility
The Aqara U200 is a retrofit lock that can work with many different types of locks. I am using it on a UK Composite door with a multipoint locking system & a euro cylinder lock. it can also be used with a Deadbolt lock, a Pull Spring Lock, and I am sure it could be used in some other situations too.
I would also like to mention that in the UK, you can also order Aqara products from EasyGates who have excellent customer service and Andy, who I dealt with for my order, was extremely friendly with great advice when first getting into the smart home.
