Damn thank you so much for that promo code!

[SavageScientist]

That is a nice lock like the NFC option

Awesome video! Super informative and detailed breakdown of the Aqara U300 – definitely helped me understand all the features before making a decision. Love how you explained the different unlocking options and the reversible lever design!

Quick question though: How does the auto-lock feature perform in day-to-day use, and is there any chance they'll add more customization for lock times in future updates? Also, how well does it integrate with other smart home platforms like Alexa and Google compared to Apple Home?

By the way, where did you get the mount for the M3 hub? Looks really neat!

Thanks for the recommendation/ review looks like a great product

Thanks for the review on the lock! Bummed that Silver Color isn't available at launch though, but appreciate the heads up that it's coming. Gonna wait till Silver is available, really been looking forward to this lock!!!

Would the U300 or U50 be a better lock for the garage. Looks like the U300 would be more convenient to get in and out of the door?

Great video as always, Eric, thanks. Just a heads up, Yale has had an Assure lever style lock that has been supported by HomeKit for many years now if you added that orange HomeKit adapter. I had it in my old house. This one looks much better though.

Great video, do you know if you can set up more the one extra lock to automatically unlock? For example I have a breezeway with one regular lock on inside door and a regular lock and deadbolt on outside door. Of If I unlock the first one can I set up an automation to unlock the other two automatically?

I wished the silver version was available now.

Has Aqara been known to patch in new features? Not being able to lock from the outside in passage mode without going through the app seems like a design miss. Can passage mode be set indefinitely so auto locking can be managed through home kit?

[JazJonFL]

The passage mode behavior shown at 5m25s might be a deal breaker. It’s not clear if the lock can be left in passage mode (unlocked) and stays unlocked. This video mentioned something about pressing the button on the inside and then authenticating with your thumb. I don’t get it unless there is no way to disable the auto lock? I’m going to be using this on a bedroom door and it will remain unlocked most of the time. (Aka passage). Can you easily lock the door from the inside at least? Again think bedroom usage.

Does this lock have enough coverage of it to cover a exterior door that has a lock and knob separately

[litexx]

There is no way to manually lock it without waiting for the auto lock? Am I understanding that correctly? Also please link your rekey video.

[ChEcKiSs]

So is there really no way to completely disable auto-lock permanently? I don’t want auto-lock nor a temporary passage mode at all, just want to lock it when I want to.

I don't like a physical key option although the rest of it looks nice.
