Aqara Smart Lock U200
The HomeKit pick — Matter over Thread and Apple home-key support in a clean retrofit lock
Key characteristics
Highlights
- ✓ Matter over Thread for broad, local control
- ✓ Apple home-key: unlock with an iPhone or Watch tap
- ✓ Retrofits over a euro cylinder with a keypad
- ✓ NFC, code and app entry options
Our take
The Aqara U200 is the pick for Apple households: it supports Matter over Thread and Apple home-key, so you can tap your iPhone or Watch to unlock, and it retrofits over your cylinder with a capable keypad. The Aqara app is busy and you may want the hub for full remote features, but for HomeKit users it's the standout.
