Here's what smart home accessories Aqara has discounted for Black Friday promotions.
Smart Lock U50
If you've been holding out on Apple Home-compatible smart locks due to their high starting price or concern over security, it's time to consider the Aqara Smart Lock U50. It's a budget-friendly smart lock with Home Key support that has several options for unlocking that ensure you won't get locked out — even when the power is out.
After configuring the Aqara Smart Lock U50 with Apple Home, tap your iPhone or Apple Watch to unlock your home. You can also unlock the door remotely through the Aqara app, Apple Home app, or via Siri with authentication first, of course.
Use a physical key, keypad, or optional NFC cards to unlock locally. The smart lock can generate offline passwords for one-time access even when the lock is disconnected.
Even if the batteries have died, connect a USB-C cable to provide power temporarily while unlocking with a pin. There's zero chance you'll ever be left out without a way to unlock the door.
The Aqara Smart Lock U50 replaces the deadbolt in your door. It is easy to install and won't be affected by rain.
Get the Aqara Smart Lock U50 for $89.99 on Amazon thanks to Black Friday deals. That's a 40% discount from $149.99.
Smart Lock U100
If you've got a little more room in your budget, the Aqara Smart Lock U100 is an excellent choice. Get all of the features of the Smart Lock U50 with the addition of a fingerprint sensor and an expected battery life of up to 8 months.
Apple Home with Home Key support is available with the Aqara Smart Lock U100. There's also the physical keypad, keys, offline passwords, and optional NFC tags for unlocking the door.
The unique feature of the Smart Lock U100 is the fingerprint sensor. It can store up to 50 different fingerprints that are secured with AES128 encryption.
The U100 also features both Do Not Disturb Mode and Passage Mode. Do Not Disturb Mode stops the chirps and sounds that play from the lock during set times. However, certain security alerts will still be played.
Passage Mode stops the smart lock from automatically locking with a simple code. That means users can carry in groceries or move in some new furniture without worrying about the door locking unnecessarily.
Get the Aqara Smart Lock U100 for $129.99 on Amazon during the Black Friday shopping event. That's a 32% discount from $189.99.
Smart Lock U300
Go all out with the Aqara Smart Lock U300 with Matter over Thread Support and all the features you could need. Apple Home with Home Key support is still here, but Matter over Thread makes compatibility and operation speed much better.
Get everything the U50 and U100 smart locks offer, plus more in a unique handle design. The Aqara Smart Lock U300 replaces the doorknob or handle, not the deadbolt, so it introduces different features and use cases.
The Aqara Smart Lock U300 works well in both external and internal doors. Whether you want it on your front door or your office, it'll fit in with your home and work seamlessly.
Use a physical key, passcode, NFC tag, Apple Home Key, mobile apps, or the fingerprint sensor. This sleek door handle also offers emergency power over USB-C in case the batteries are exhausted.
Get the Aqara Smart Lock U300 for $179.99 on Amazon during Black Friday sales. That's a 22% discount from $229.99.

Use face recognition to get alerts or trigger personal automation. Aqara's Smart Video Doorbell G4 can capture 1080p 162-degree video for cloud services or record to an SD card located in the remote chime repeater.
Aqara users get free cloud storage that stores 7 days of video. That's a $60 value when compared to paid cloud services.
