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 multi-point 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.

@@paullhenriquee thank you for your kind comment, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. At the moment there are a couple of little niggling issues, however there should be fixed before the end of the month with software updates. You can still use the lock perfectly.

Thanks for the great walk through. I have a question: You pull up the handle, because your door has a 3 point latch, right? Is the U200 then unable to turn the key unless the 3 point latch has been engaged, meaning that it ex. can't be remote locked, if you forgot to pull up the handle?
@andysreviewsandsmarthometips
@andysreviewsandsmarthometips 11 дней назад
@@Mathiaskindsholm this is correct for my particular type of door. If you have to lift the handle to engage the pins, then yes it would be unable to lock the door. Basically, you have to get into the habit of lifting the handle. However, you can set up a notification that will literally give you a time sensitive alert which means it is very prominent reminding you and you can choose to set this immediately, 1/ second, three seconds all the way up to 30 minutes. Effectively this means that it can potentially immediately alert you if you forget to lift the handle so this eliminates the worry.

Very detailed well made video. Thank you! I'm not sure If I missed you mentioning it but did you face any connection issues? I'm really interested in getting it but there are many reports of software issues (Not being able to connect it to homekit, features not working, not being able to update the firmware, ...). I bought the Aqara presence sensor as soon as it came out last year and it was a horrible experience trying to get it to work (again software issues). I ended up returning it as even customer support could not fix it. I'm worried I will have the same "released early and not ready for public" experience again. I would get a smart lock from a different brand If I could but this is the only retrofit, UK compatible smart lock with Homekey.

@@AhmedAdd3Mana hi and thank you for the kind comment! Honestly, I have had 1 issue with HomeKit but this was in very early testing and wasn’t available on kickstarter at that point. Since then, I have had no connection issues and the lock has performed better than expected. Most of the complaints about connection to HomeKit have been due to a lack of following instructions, for example, pressing the SET button after scanning the Matter code. I have had well over 10 videos sent to me where the individual are “proving” it doesn’t work and in every case, my question to them was “I didn’t see you press the SET button after scanning the Matter code during HomeKit setup, can you show me another video where you clearly press it?” I only had 2 people respond, one saying it worked, thanks, and the other I referred to customer service at Aqara because I think he was trying to get it into the home app with a very old Apple TV as a hub.

@@oliawak if you mean at a certain time of day, you can schedule this in the settings of the lock. Either that or you can set an automation for example when a time of day occurs, unlock the lock and when another time of day occurs lock the lock.

@@GK_SmithySaves did the option for home key appear when setting the lock up in the home app? Also are you on the new home architecture and do you have an Apple TV with thread and/or HomePod?

@@nicholaseales yes, you are able to, however for first few months until Matter gets a little better I personally would use the Aqara app even if it’s just to calibrate and update the lock as this way it’s far more reliable.

@@TeeGeeAu I don’t wish to contradict you however here are some dimensions of locks that will eventually support HomeKey (as the U200 is the only one currently to do so) Measurements are width, depth, height in mm Switchbot - 59x84x120 U200 - 62x60x152 Nuki - 60x60x125 The Nuki is smaller, but….. The U200 is the only retrofit lock that supports matter over thread with HomeKey, is able to support more locks than any other retrofit lock without ordering a specific and sometimes more expensive model and it has more combined features than any other smart lock available.

@sergehere9319 7 дней назад
I agree with you Andy. These 3 can only compete against each other . On a top of it Nuki is almost 2x price no home key support. Switchbot looks more like a brick than U200. Ppl like TeeGeeAu are just smartasses who don’t know what they are talking about and trying to look smart in the comments.
