“Keys, phone, wallet.” Those are the words we say to ourselves as we hit our pockets to make sure we have everything we need before leaving the house. Well, what if we cut those words from three to two? This smart lock from Aqara can be unlocked using a touchscreen keypad as well as a fingerprint scanner and even your Apple Watch or iPhone. That means you can leave the keys at your house. The smart lock is normally priced at $230 but now you can get it for 43% off—bringing the price down to just $130. That’s a savings of $100.
Unlock Your Door Using Your iPhone
The door lock is a smart lock after all and can be fully integrated with your Apple Home. You can tap your iPhone or Apple Watch on your door to unlock it, and it will work when your Apple device is out of power. Don’t lock yourself out because you forgot to charge your phone in the morning. Additionally, you can control guest access to Apple Home. This can be very helpful if you have a contractor renovating your bathroom or a dog sitter watching your furry friend when 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 remotely configured password via the Aqara Home app if you have an Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub. The hub will also allow for greater integration of a wide range of smart home setups and automations. For example, if someone rings your video doorbell, you can see who is at your door and then open it from your couch.
The auto-lock features use a built-in gyroscope to lock when you close it so you don’t have to worry about accidentally leaving the door open. The locking sound can also be muted so as not to disturb your family’s sleep when you come home late at night.
The battery-powered smart lock is powered by four AA 1.5V batteries included. They should last up to eight months before needing to be replaced. A USB-C port can be used for emergency charging. The lock is made of zinc alloy and has an IP65 rating to protect from dust and water, and it can withstand temperatures between -31 °F to 151 °F so it won’t fail you when the weather is bad.
Right now, you can save $100 on the Aqara smart lock. Get it for just $130.
