Overview
The Aqara U100 is the lock to shortlist if you already live in Apple Home. Home Key unlock is the headline feature, with fingerprint and touchscreen codes for everyone else. Nearby control works over Bluetooth; remote unlock and third-party voice platforms typically need an Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub. It is a proper deadbolt replacement for common Australian front-door preparations — measure backset and thickness before you order.
Who this lock is for
iPhone and Apple Watch households who want Home Key on the front door, and are happy to add an Aqara hub if they need remote unlock or Alexa/Google.
