Can i add the u200 to aqara app without apple home?

Hello,
I just bought an aqara u200. I’m trying to add it to the aqara app by adding it to a matter controller (i have two g5 pro wifi) however i’m not able to add it as i get prompted to add it to apple home which it fails to do (i don’t have at this time an apple hub as i interact with my smart home through the aqara app only). I already have a couple of third party matter devices added directly through a g5 without much problems.

Do i need a apple home pod or should the g5 suffice?
Thanks for any help!

Hello, welcome to the forum.
Yes, the G5 camera supports Matter, and therefore the U200 lock will be linked to the Aqara application through it.

Thank you.
After many tries I managed to get it to work (turns out i had a problem with my wifi router, totally not correlated to my aqara setup)
