BEST New Smart Lock?! Aqara U50 with HomeKey & Matter

Great video! Thank you, Craig!

That’s a really good looking lock and has a lot of features. Thanks for the vid Craig. it seems like companies are trying to compete with IFTTT doesn’t it?

U50 and U100 are both the same price

I wish they offered a U100 with the ability to rekey because the fingerprint has been great for some family members!

Thank you.

Thanks for share!

Nice review, Craig. As my home office is pretty far from the side gate, intended for a few employees and the rare vendor, I did program the color ring on the T1M to circle in Blue when anyone rings the Aqara doorbell or unlocks the U100 lock. Multimodal alerts are a great enhancement for SmartHomes!

Thanks for the video….this lock is perfect for side garage door

Aqara & SwitchBot are the only 2 device makers keeping me interested in the smart home space right now

The platform agnosticism they provide is a really strong part of their offerings

Would be nice if they added a camera to the lock.

Craig have you tested the Teeho smart lock

Can I use home key without the hub ?
