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

Great Price, quality, features, and easy installation.
I highly recommend it for the quality, ease of installation, and pricing compared to other similar products. The packaging was good. There are numerous YouTube instructions for a successful installation, and it does not require much more than a few basic tools. After looking at the videos a couple of times, it took maybe twenty minutes to install, including downloading the app and programming. If you are tired of fumbling with your keys while carrying bags, this is the way to go. Also, spend the extra dollars on the fingerprint reader. U100 is the model we have.

I want them on every exterior door!
I love this lock. It’s been installed for 7 months now and still working awesome despite being basically unshielded from rain or sun. Integrates with the Aqara M3 hub that is unfortunately required for the extra feature set, but once you get that setup you can go on further to add it to other smart home assistants and/or Home Assistant. I can have Google home lock the door for me, or I can use the Home Assistant app to control and view the status of the lock as well.The fingerprint works great as well as rotating codes that can be programmed for pet sitters or other temporary guests. I’ve had no connection issues and so far battery life is still reporting as “high” after 7 months, although this is used on a walkout basement door and not a primary entry for us. Having the fingerprint and code is great if we ever accidentally get locked out of the house. I definitely want to add more of these to our primary entry doors.

This is Junk
We had this lock for a year and it is without a doubt the worst smart device we’ve ever purchased! Shame on me for getting caught up in the hype when searching for “the best” smart lock a year ago.It looks ok but feels like plastic junk. After being setup properly it would usually auto lock but, every once in awhile it would NOT so… NOT consistent! For example: you leave for the weekend and come back to a door that’s been unlocked the entire time OR you go to the store and return finding that the door never locked! This caused us to constantly second guess whether it had locked or not everytime we left the house.Additionally, we constantly got “not closed” errors with flashing and beeping although the door was closed and the lock was engaged! Sometimes the lock would half engage. Ugh!Also, here in Texas, it gets humid. Biometrics may or may not work depending on how dry your hands are. This may be every smart lock.Finally, it says it knows when the door is open or not but it would constantly auto lock when we left the door open to bring in the groceries. What a pain.Look, this thing is junk. Save your $! We got what we paid for and now we’ve trashed it and purchased the Yale Assure Lock 2. It is heavy duty and awesome. We highly reccomend it!

Love it.
Very easy to install. Works great.

I am actually pretty happy with this lock – definitely an upgrade from the U50 I first ordered and returned because the programming was impossible to figure out, and it was kinda ugly. So I upgraded to try again. This lock is much classier – and the only reason I gave this U100 a 4 is that this one is also very difficult to set up/program. First, though – the mechanics.My husband easily installed the lock EXCEPT, save yourself some trouble – first thing measure the hole in your doorframe that the deadbolt slides into, before you do anything else, and compare to the measurement of the deadbolt plunger. It runs a bit long and the lock will not work if the plunger is blocked from full extension. If this happens the numbers on the outside will flash red and an alarm will sound TEN times and embarrass you in front of your neighbors 😉 and the lock will automatically unlock. You will not be able to make it stay locked, even by manually locking it – it will unlock itself again and again until you remove a battery. So just scrape the hole in a bit further if need be, and you’ll be fine. Other than that, physical install’s a cinch. It’s the programming that will have you pulling your hair out, especially if you’re trying to sync with HomeKit (which is the ENTIRE reason I abandoned a perfectly good wireless door lock that didn’t have HomeKit integration).Let me say first, you do NOT need to buy a hub to use HomeKit with this lock. Your HomeKit hub will do the job BUT the Aqara set up instructions are not user friendly, and make things infinitely harder! By the time you somehow get it working, you will no longer remember how you did it! One reviewer (and you’ll get better info reading these reviews and YouTube videos than the manufacturers written or online help file) mentioned not installing the Aqara app until after the lock is installed, and I did that, but that didn’t seem to help. For many of my numerous attempts to quit and start over, I tried to set up HomeKit with the little HomeKit button inside the battery compartment, but the instructions weren’t clear about whether I should use that BEFORE the Aqara set up button, or AFTER the Aqara set up bottom, or INSTEAD of the Aqara set up button. I kept taking out a battery and doing a full reset, and then trying another combination, which got SO confusing – but I kept trying. I think I finally left the HomeKit button alone and just used the Aqara set up button which prompted me to pair the lock in the Aqara app using the outside keypad. After that somehow (maybe with the HomeKit set up button?) I stumbled on to a page in the Aqara app that asked me to pair with HomeKit, and that’s where you scan the Apple QR code and it syncs with HomeKit properly. At that point everything finally worked, including the touch with my phone and watch. BUT my husband and our grandgirl are also included in our HomeKit through Family Share. Our granddaughter wasn’t even here when we set up the lock, but it added it to her HomeKit. (It also started driving her crazy sending notifications to her phone every time we locked or unlocked the door). It also added a HomeKey to her Apple Wallet, and also to my husband’s, but neither of them has been able to do the touch open. It’s been weeks, and suddenly yesterday a prompt popped up on her phone to add the touch entry. It happened so fast I just clicked on it and followed the prompts, and it set her up to touch her phone to the lock, and it works seamlessly. And she doesn’t even HAVE the Aqara app! But my husband’s phone – still nothing.So, IN SPITE OF THE AGGRAVATION, this lock is actually great. There are numerous ways to unlock the door, so the touch thing isn’t a deal breaker and it’ll pop up one day for hubby as well, I guess. What I want to say is, don’t give up! This seems a solid lock as far as keeping the house secure, and it’s clever. Hopefully Aqara will go step-by-step through their instructions & FAQ and write up a concise process for setting up the programming, and they’ll be a serious contender for the VERY few, much more expensive, Apple-enabled door locks available. It really shouldn’t be so hard to explain the set up. That’s the only downside to this lock – and probably to the more feature rich options as well. Do better with your documentation and you’ll have a real winner.

I think is the best lock I have ever saw, quality excellent, quiet and easy to installWork with iPhone really easy with out any special instructions to all your family
