Aqara SDL-D01 Door Lock, Shadow Gray

جهاز ممتاز جدا ويعمل مع أبل هوم كيت بشكل ممتاز جدا. أكثر ما أعجبني به هو دعمه لنظام nfc من أبل حيث أضع هاتفي الآيفون على الجهاز ويفتح بشكل مباشر دون الحاجة إلى فتح قفل الآيفون بعد تفعيل ميزة الوصول السريع.

The Aqara Smart Lock U100 is an excellent lock. I replaced a similar lock from a legacy vendor that didn’t work as expected and lacked integration with Apple Home. The legacy lock was also more expensive. The Aqara lock connected seamlessly to my Apple Home network, which was fantastic. I quickly programmed user codes and several fingerprints in just a few minutes. The process was intuitive and efficient. I’ve set it up to lock automatically with Apple Home automation at a specific time at night, while also turning off various lights. The lock looks great and operates smoothly when opening and closing. The keypad works well, allowing me to enter user codes, use the fingerprint sensor, or open the lock with our Apple Watches and iPhones. This versatility is impressive. I’m now considering replacing many of my home security devices with Aqara devices because I’m so impressed with this lock and its integration with Apple Home. I highly recommend the Aqara Smart Lock U100.

I did lots of research and finally found Aqara as the best option for me. Easy to install, very high quality build and well integrated with home assistant.

I bought this product a few months ago. At first, it worked perfectly fine, and I installed it on my main door. However, after a short while, it started showing errors and stopped functioning properly. The door wouldn’t open or close as it should, and I ended up being locked out several times. Unfortunately, I received no real help or support — only generic replies telling me to update the software online. The customer service is nonexistent. You’ll just be creating problems for yourself if you buy this product. Don’t waste your money — you’ll regret it. My advice is to choose a product that actually provides reliable customer support.

I wanted a Smart Lock that would be easy to use, support Apple Home key, include fingerprint and a physical key option. The Aqara U100 has all of these features that I am looking for. I am replacing an existing deadbolt and was expecting a simple remove the old and then install the new, hoping the existing holes would work. I did end up having to get my drill out to enlarge the hole for the bolt, which took some effort and added 30 minutes to the installation. Luckily that was the only modification I had to make on my door. One thing that gave me a little trouble with the lock installation was making sure everything was level, I was off slightly in my first try and the fit was a bit off, with the bolt not functioning smoothly. It was easy to correct with the help of a level and hardware was installed. One thing to note is that I had some trouble pulling off the battery cover. Installation videos showed it easily pulling off but I had to use some plastic tools to pry it open. The Aqara app was easy to follow and adding the lock was straight forward. I did separately add an Aqara hub, as I will likely in the future, look to add the lock to Google Home. I first added the lock to the hub and then I added the hub to Apple Home. In Apple Home, both the hub and the lock appeared on my dashboard. I could control the lock from the Home app, but the Home Key feature did not work. I then added the lock directly to Apple Home, which enabled Home Key, but then it showed the lock twice on the Apple Home dashboard, which was confusing. I then deleted the first instance of the lock that was added by the hub so that I only had one instance. Tested and everything along with Home key worked. The Aqara U100 works really well. I can unlock by tapping my Apple Watch or iPhone. My wife and kids have Android phones, so they are accessing with fingerprint. I picked up an NFC card to try with the lock and it also works great, though defeats the purpose of being keyless but can be useful in certain situations such as visiting guests where a passcode is not optimal (elderly family members in my case). I am planning to set up Google Home later on, so that the lock can be opened via the Google Home app on Android. Too early to comment on battery life, but from reviews I've seen, I expect them last up to a year. The lock comes with batteries, but I did also get a 4 pack of lithium AA's to use with the lock, thinking that may provide a longer life between battery changes, but only time will tell. I really like this lock given the relative ease of installation and all of the options for unlocking. I would say that if you have an iPhone, this is worth a consideration. If you're an Android user, maybe not optimal, but still very usable. I picked up this lock during the recent Spring sale and feel this is was a very good purchase.
