Aqara Smart Lock U100 review: This HomeKit smart lock unlocks in multiple ways.

Discover convenience and safety with the Aqara Smart Lock U100. See how this elegant and modern lock can boost the performance of your HomeKit!.

As a homeowner, I love my smart door lock. It’s easy to open with a password or phone, so I don’t need to carry my house keys with me. Besides, it automatically closes behind me, so I don’t have to worry about security. So, I found a pretty impressive smart door lock for HomeKit users — Aqara Smart Lock U100 — and today I’m reviewing it.

The elegant modern design of the U100 looks great on any door. It also offers a variety of options for locking and unlocking the front door, including fingerprints, touch keyboard, voice commands, keys, or iPhone/Apple Watch.

And because it’s designed for Apple HomeKit, it works with Siri and Apple Key. Do you want to know if the Aqara Smart Look U100 is right for you? Check out my detailed review below!

.Full integration with Apple Home

As an intelligent lock designed for Apple users, the U100 is fully compatible with Apple Home. This means that I can unlock it using the Apple Home key by simply tapping on my iPhone or Apple Watch. Incredibly, this method works even with low battery power in devices.

Yes, even if I forgot to power my Apple Watch the night before, I can still use them to open the door when I get home in the afternoon.

I can also share and manage my registration data using the Apple Home app. This is convenient when I want to let trusted people in, such as my children, their friends, or the maintenance staff when I’m not at home.

Built-in fingerprint scanner and keyboard

And here’s my favorite feature: the built-in fingerprint scanner and keyboard. They’ve become quite popular, but as someone who grew up watching Back to the Future, I’m surprised every time I use them.

The Aqara Smart Lock U100 fingerprint scanner has a high accuracy of 98.6%. It can store up to 50 fingerprints, so you can give it access to any number of people from your environment.

.Remote lock status and automatic lock

Have you ever gone on a trip and forgot that you locked the door? This is a difficult situation that may prevent you from enjoying your vacation. But with this smart HomeKit lock, you will never have to deal with anything like this again.

You see, this HomeKit smart lock allows you to check its status in the Aqara Home app. This way you can see whether the door is open or closed, no matter where you are. In addition, the built-in gyroscope allows the U100 to automatically lock the door after it is closed, which can help if you forget to lock the door.
