What conditions are required to install U200 on an entry door lock, and what other expandable features are available?
@Jieson To install the Aqara Smart Door Lock U200 on an entry door, you’ll need to ensure compatibility with specific lock types. The U200 is compatible with EU Mortise Locks and US Deadbolt Locks. However, it’s not suitable for self-locking locks, rim locks, gate locks, or other outdated standard cylinders. If your current lock cylinder doesn’t meet the installation requirements, Aqara is planning to launch an EU Profile Adjustable Cylinder in July 2024 that might be a suitable option.
As for expandable features, the U200 offers a range of capabilities when connected to the Aqara Home app. You can access exclusive features and detailed settings like Manual Calibration, Auto Lock, Auto-Turn Lock/Turn to Lock, and the Pull Spring Feature. Additionally, features such as Away Mode, Night Latch Mode, and Auto Unlock Mode are expected to be rolled out via OTA updates by the end of the second half of 2024. If you’re into integrating your devices with other ecosystems, the U200 supports connecting to Matter-compatible systems, allowing for broader smart home integration.
Feel free to dive into the Aqara Home app to explore these features and perhaps share any DIY ideas you come up with!
