Aqara Smart Lock U50, Keyless Entry Door Lock with Apple Home Key, Bluetooth Deadbolt Lock, App Remote Control, Supports Apple HomeKit, Matter, Google Home, Alexa, IFTTT, Black

I absolutely love using my Apple Watch or iPhone to unlock my door, especially when I’m carrying groceries or my hands are full. I bought this smart lock because its description clearly states HomeKit compatibility. The setup process was incredibly easy, and you didn’t need to download the Aqara App to connect it to HomeKit. The auto-locking feature is fantastic; it locks the door within seconds of closing it. However, if it doesn’t lock, it’s probably because the door didn’t close properly. This particular model (U50) doesn’t have fingerprint recognition, which I don’t mind. Connectivity is excellent, and I’ve been using it for over six months without needing to charge it (I’ll charge it soon). I believe the battery life is quite good. I haven’t encountered any issues so far and don’t anticipate any in the future. I highly recommend it!

Funciona muy bien

Auto lock when the door closes is unreliable. A third of the time doesn’t lock so have to be always on the lookout if door lock is triggered or not. Other than that it’s been good.

The Aqara Smart Lock U50 has been a fantastic addition to my smart home setup, offering convenience and reliability in a sleek package. Pros: Apple HomeKey Integration: Unlocking the door with my iPhone or Apple Watch is effortless and secure. Works flawlessly every time. Long Battery Life: Impressive battery performance, even in harsh Canadian winters. No more frequent battery changes! Keyless Entry Options: Multiple ways to unlock, including HomeKey, PIN codes, and physical keys for backup. Durable Build: Handles extreme weather conditions with ease while maintaining smooth functionality. Easy Setup: Straightforward installation and pairing process with HomeKit. Cons: Platform Preference: Works best within the Apple ecosystem; other smart home platform users may have limited functionality. No Remote Unlock Without Hub: Requires an Aqara Hub for remote access and advanced automation. If you're an Apple user looking for a reliable, weather-resistant smart lock with seamless HomeKey support, the Aqara U50 is an outstanding choice. Highly recommended!

Great lock unless matter support matters to you. This deadbolt never holds a connection to the aqara matter hub. Wish it had native matter support. Won't be buying aqara again.
