First in-depth look at Apple Home Key & HomeKit guest access for smart locks Aqara A100 Zigbee

Does the HomeKit guest access not allow setting up schedules? Say you want to allow dog walker to access your home only between 6-7pm?

Is it possible to have the key in express mode on the Apple Watch but not on the iPhone?

I've been using it for a month and yes, I'm in China and I think it's a good product, there are 7 different ways to unlock the door and the experience of using Apple wantch to open the door lock is very convenient when you have a lot of things in your hand. I usually use my iPhone to ride the subway, now I use Apple watch to open the door. And it's easy to help other people open doors remotely. It can also set my lights when I get home and open the door, I love my new door lock.

How do you power this lock and what happens when the power is gone?

I'm really hoping LevelLock will support this.

With an NFC tag + Siri Shortvut there is not much of a difference, isn’t it?

Can you have express mode on the Apple Watch… but non express mode on the iphone at the same time?

how did you add a test lock to homekit?

Great video, Thanks for that. Just a note to say the UK & US links are swapped around. Keep up the great work!

How is the tedee door lock ?

Can’t imagine this can work with UK doors though? They’re mostly 5 point locking which requires you to lift the door handle to engage the door in the frame.
Would be amazing if it does work though!

Can a guest add the key to wallet app too?

If you have access via a home key can you also assign a numerical unlock code to your Home key in case say you forgot your phone and watch in the house?

Or make an home-assistant hub for homekit, and do the same thing with an NFC-sticker and siri shortcuts :D Had this for multiple years now :)

is the guest access only going to be possible for keypad or Home key enabled HomeKit locks?

I love aqara 💓

Do you know if it’s going to work with the multi point locks we have in the UK? So few smart locks do.

Aqara selected model only? Is the old Aqara home lock model Aqara N100 support Home key mode?

Great thing for someone with a disability!

Using Apple Key with these non-automatic locks is really really stupid! You use one hand to scan the phone/watch. Then you have to turn the handle manually! Why would you do that instead of scanning fingerprint and open the door with just ONE HAND?

Shlage is pronounced sh-ledge with the d not really pronounced

Are these going to be or are they compatible with the Philips hue in order to create the same environment using different devices that they are home kit?

If I can’t use 1 hand to unlock this smart door… then it’s not that smart.

Wasn’t home key supposed to get ultra wideband support to unlock as your phone walks up to the lock instead of express mode, am I just mis-remembering that or is it not included on the particular locks you have on hand and may come to locks from other manufacturers

This lock looks to be for interior doors, where the handle is doing the locking by not letting you turn it, instead of something like a deadbolt.

Is this something that would work with standard outdoor deadbolts in America? Or would we have to defer to the Schlage Encode Plus?

Does the lock need batteries?

You keep talking about the "o-map". What is that?

I don't see how this is any better than a finger print reader which is much, much more convenient.

I can’t find that on the link website….😩

Will this lock work in AUS still even though you didnt mention them?

Can you run automations based on the access code? It would be great to set certain scenes depending on the guest entering the house.

Shut up and take my money!!

Is it out there yet ?

Please pronounce "Home" consistently

i’ve added my roommate to my home as a resident but he can’t use the Home Key feature, it doesn’t show up anywhere for him. Help? works fine for me!

Does the Aqara A100 come in a different model name?

Yale brand is best for home security locks
Apple Home kit capable for Yale Linus and Yale assure August locks
High quality locks

Can I ask how you got the HomeKit guest access to work? I just got this lock installed here in Australia and don’t seem to have the option to add guests in the home app from Apple. I checked every menu possible. I would love to assign guest access codes. Currently can only do that via the Aqara app.

Just to confirm, Aqara are not support Homekit guest access right?

this type of lock im in Canada，，，，just

Is the HomeKit guest access to generate a code available for the Aqara A100 pro version?

Why is it ‘omeKey but it’s HomeKit. Very inconsistent with the dropping of certain letters. It’s very unpleasant on the ear. If you Alwyas dropped H then fair. Acceptable. But to randomly drop it here and there sounds forced and it’s uncomfortable to listen to.

Thanks for sharing

Why is Home Key guest access missing?

Hello, do you need a home hub for apple homekit for home key to work?

Is the Schlage Encode Plus Smart WiFi Deadbolt compatible with UK doors bc it’s on UK Amazon website to buy so assume yes.

How do I give my wife a home kit key access for her to open it with the nfc key? Not just a code?
