Overview
Aqara built this keypad deadbolt that works natively with Apple Home, unlocking with a tap of an iPhone or Apple Watch even when the device is out of power. A gyroscope senses the door closing and locks it automatically.
Apple households get Home Key and guest sharing without extra hardware, plus a cylinder a locksmith can match to existing keys. Remote codes and Alexa or Google support need an Aqara Zigbee hub, and the NFC card is sold separately.
Who it's for
Front doors in iPhone households, and anyone keeping existing keys through rekeying, suit this lock. Homes without an Aqara hub lose remote codes and voice assistant links.
Pros and cons
- Apple Home Key support
- Auto lock senses door closing
- Rekeyable to existing keys
- Do Not Disturb mutes sounds
- Hub needed for remote features
- NFC card sold separately
- Water resistance differs between title and bullets
Performance notes
Auto lock relies on the built-in gyroscope, which detects the door closing before locking. Home Key works with a tap even when the phone or watch is out of power, while remote passwords travel through the Zigbee hub.
