Aqara Launches New 'Smart Lock U300' With Apple Home Key Support

Aqara has unveiled a new lever 'Smart Lock U300' with support for Apple Home Key and Matter over Thread.

Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, this new lock offers a smart update to traditional non-deadbolt locks, replacing levers and knobs on single-bore doors. It features Matter-over-Thread capabilities and Apple home key unlocking for seamless interoperability and ease-of-use.




Matter Over Thread
Built upon the latest Thread protocol which is purposely developed for IoT devices, the Smart Lock U300 is natively Matter enabled, ensuring seamless integration with Aqara's lineup of smart home devices and those from a wide range of third-party brands. Connecting to a Thread Border Router, the U300 can be used with and managed by any Matter-compatible platform (e.g., Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, Home Assistant, SmartThings) with a corresponding Matter Controller.

Apple Home Key
The U300 lock is among the first smart lever locks to support Apple home key unlocking, which allows iOS users to simply tap their iPhone or Apple Watch to enter, even when the Apple device is out of power. It also boasts versatile access options like fingerprint recognition, personalized passwords (one-time and recurring), mobile apps, voice assistants, and Aqara NFC cards. Mechanical keys are provided for emergencies like power outages or electronic malfunctions too.



Other features of the smart lock include a Passage Mode for hassle-free entry and exit, a weather resistant design with an IPX4 rating for the outer panel, and battery life of up to 10 months between changes.
