Unlock Your Door With Your iPhone
The door lock is a smart lock after all and can be fully integrated with your Apple Home. You can simply tap your iPhone or Apple Watch to your door to unlock it, and it even works when your Apple device is out of power. No locking yourself outside because you forgot to charge your phone in the morning. Additionally, you can control guest access in Apple Home. This is super helpful if you have a contractor renovating your bathroom or a dog sitter watching your furry friend when out of town.
The smart lock can be configured to unlock with its high-precision fingerprint reader. You can program the reader to recognize up to 50 fingerprints or remotely configured password via the Aqara Home app if you have the Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub. The hub will also allow for even greater integration into a wide range of smart home setups and automations. For example, when someone rings your video doorbell, you can view who is at your door and then unlock it remotely from your couch.
The auto-lock features uses a built-in gyroscope to lock as soon as you close it so you never have to worry about accidentally leaving with the door unlocked. The locking sound can also be muted as not to disturb your family’s sleep if you’re arriving home late at night.
The battery-operated smart lock is powered by four AA 1.5V batteries which come included. They should last up to eight months before needing replacement. A USB-C port can be used for emergency charging. The lock is made of a zinc alloy and has an IP65 rating to protect from dust and water, plus it can withstand temperatures between -31°F to 151°F so it won’t fail on your when the weather gets rough.
Right now, you can save $100 on the Aqara smart lock. Get it for just $130.
