Unlock your door with your iPhone
After all, the door lock is a smart lock and can be fully integrated into your Apple Home. You can simply place your iPhone or Apple Watch in front of your door to unlock it, and it works even when your Apple device is turned off. Don’t lock yourself out because you forgot to charge your phone in the morning. Additionally, you can control guest access in Apple Home. This is very useful if you have a contractor renovating your bathroom or a dog sitter watching over your furry friend when he’s out of town.
The smart lock can be configured to unlock using its high-precision fingerprint reader. You can program the reader to recognize up to 50 fingerprints or a password configured remotely via the Aqara Home app if you have the Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub. The hub will also enable even greater integration into a wide range of smart home setups and automations. For example, when someone rings your video doorbell, you can see who’s at your door and then unlock it remotely from your couch.
Auto-lock features use 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 lock sound can also be muted so as not to disturb your family’s sleep if you arrive late at night.
The battery-operated smart lock is powered by four included 1.5V AA batteries. 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 zinc alloy and has an IP65 rating to protect it from dust and water, and it can withstand temperatures between -31°F and 151°F so it won’t fall not broken down when the weather turns bad.
