This is great news for doors everywhere, and those who use them. The U200 Lite has some pretty neat features worth checking out. For starters, it’s a matter over thread device, so if you already have a hub or an ecosystem set up, it’ll fit right in.

Better again, it’s easy to install. There is no lock replacement, or dissembling your existing system, just place the U200 Lite over your existing lock and you are good to go.

Another cool feature is all the different methods you can use to unlock. For starters, can use an NFC sticker card on the door, just place your phone near the NFC card, tap, and it’s unlocked. You can also use Bluetooth or the app to unlock. Or, if you connect through thread to the Apple or Amazon eco system, you can use Siri and Alexa voice commands.

For late nights or quiet moments, Quiet Unlock Mode ensures a softer, slower unlock.

And thanks to the built-in gyroscope, U200 Lite can remind you with a sound if you forget to close the door, and even lock the door automatically after you close it.

The whole thing is powered with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery, so no need to buy replacements whenever power runs low.

There are also two Aqara Home exclusives that are pretty innovative. The Pull Spring Feature can open both the bolt and the latch, so you just need to push the door to open. And Turn to Lock/Unlock will go through the full range of locking/unlocking motion after you turn the nob 30-60°.

All in all, it’s a feature packed smart lock with a low barrier to entry that’s good to go out of the box.

This is going to be a great addition to the Aqara smart lock lineup. I’d use this with a T2 bulb for notifications inside when it’s unlocked as well as an H2 wall switch to turn the lights on when the U200 lite is unlocked.
