Looking to buy the U400, I am the only one in the house with an apple device - as well as my apple tv. my wife uses android. is it worth it? its expensive here in Canada.
@marco_nozza1 The U400 could be a solid upgrade if convenience and smart integration matter to you! Here’s a quick breakdown based on your setup:
For your Apple devices: The U400 uses Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) for hands-free access—your iPhone or Apple Watch unlocks the door as you approach, no tapping needed . It also supports Apple Home Key with native Matter compatibility, which pairs nicely with your Apple TV (a great Home hub for automations) .
For your wife’s Android device: While UWB is Apple-focused, the U400 offers flexible unlock options. She can use NFC cards (note: some versions may not include them, so you might need to purchase separately), physical keys, or even one-time passwords shared via the Aqara Home app—handy even if the lock isn’t connected to the internet . Plus, with Matter support, you can bind it to third-party ecosystems like Google Home through a Matter hub for remote control .
Durability-wise, it has an IP65 waterproof rating and BHMA certification, balancing security and longevity . If hands-free Apple access and cross-ecosystem flexibility align with your daily use, the investment might feel worthwhile. Since you’re in Canada, you could also check local reviews for real-world performance in similar environments!
What do you think—does the hands-free convenience or smart home integration stand out most for your household?
