How do you manage PIN codes for the lock with the hub or Home Assistant?

I am currently using homekit or the Aqara app - homekit allows for home key and the Aqara app allows for fingerprints - but they all seem to sync up fine. - thanks for watching.

I have added aqara u100 lock to google home and alexa through G3 camera hub over matter. I am able to lock/unlock and manage temporary users but i can't manage general users and fingerprints remotely. That is a very huge drawback as i wanted to manage my tenants remotely.

Thanks for watching - yes unfortunately you can do pin numbers from Homekit, but if you want fingerprints it only works locally - I think part of that is security as they talk about how fingerprint access is only stored on the lock itself - so that would be a hard claim to make if you were able to add/update via the cloud. - thanks for watching.

hiii! its really needed a aqara hub ? im using a apple tv and the ha only. the today updates looks better with matter device..

No, you don't have access to that, you will only get the information in the Aqara App

Will it work with the E1 stick hub?

@@yoyoTechKnows In case anyone else is wondering: I confirmed I was able to bind the lock with the E1 HUB, add the HUB to Matter and lastly control the lock and also view the logs as in your demonstration. Please ensure that the lock and HUB is running the latest firmware version.

Can someone advise what protocol the locks use to communicate with HomeKit. And is it correct that an Aqara hub is not needed for the locks to be operated with HomeKit?

@yoyoTechKnows

I can 100% confirm that you don’t need the hub for HomeKit - I had that up and running before I even opened the hub!

@@yoyoTechKnows Thanks! That means they are communicating via Bluetooth? I guess that's why the lock that is a bit further from the Apple TV hub is constantly dropping in and out of an available status? Half the time it shows as No Response.

Can I know if HA do know which user unlock the door ?

@yoyoTechKnows

Yes, it tells you which user unlocked the door, I have only been able to get it working with the Aqara hub in HA - but it works well - going to give it a try with the new matter updates to see if that helps! - thanks for watching!

This lock is buggy - I have two of them and with both, the keypad becomes unresponsive after a while. To fix the issue, you need to pull the batteries to reboot the unit. Lots of reviews on Amazon complaining about unresponsive keypad.

I have not had that issue with mine, but doesn't mean others don't. I would check to make sure you have all the updates, and reach out to support - if you have a buggy unit they may be able to help! - Hope you find a solution and Thanks for watching!

@@yoyoTechKnows Yes, I've two RMAs, there are also lots of complaints on Reddit, apparently the lock "freezing up" is a common issue. I'm not sure if it is related to the manufacture date or something else. The locks I had issues with were built before September 2023.

This lock is actually pretty lousy. It chews through batteries like no other lock I've had before. If you use it natively in HomeKit you lose fingerprint functionality.
