Aqara has recently launched its new Smart Lock U200, an advanced automatic lock with support for the latest Matter standard. This lock offers a range of unlocking options to suit every need, including fingerprint recognition, PIN, mobile apps, voice assistants, Apple Home Key, Aqara NFC cards as well as traditional keys. This means that you can easily choose the method that suits you best to enter your home. Also, this lock requires no Aqara hub!

One of the main advantages of the Aqara U200 is its ease of installation. It is a so-called retrofitted cap, which means it is designed to be fitted to existing locks. Thus, you do not need to replace your keys or make any major modifications to your door structure. This makes installation quick and smooth, and you can start using your new smart lock without any hassle.

To ensure high security, the Aqara U200 is equipped with encryption, tampering alarms and an automatic lock function. In addition, you get real-time notifications that keep you updated on the status of the lock. The auto lock feature means you can set the lock to automatically lock after a certain period of time, providing extra security when you leave your home.

The battery life of the Aqara U200 is impressive, up to 6 months, and the lock supports the Thread protocol for stable and long-lasting use. The keypad is IPX5 rated, meaning it is protected from water and can be powered by AAA batteries or through the existing doorbell wire. The lock is also designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, from -15 degrees Celsius up to +66 degrees Celsius, making it a reliable choice no matter where you live.

It is clear that the Aqara U200 is a state-of-the-art smart lock that meets most of the requirements and wishes of users. The price level is in the middle segment, which means that it is not the most expensive lock on the market, but at the same time offers a wide range of functions and high quality.
