It's the perfect time of year to add locks, cameras, and other sensors to your Apple Home, and Aqara has a variety of products discounted up to 48% during Prime Big Deal Days.
When you're building a smart home, it's always best to start small, but it quickly becomes obvious that more is better. Getting smart lights, locks, cameras, and sensors throughout your home may seem like a daunting and expensive task, but Amazon Prime Big Deal Days can help.
Aqara is back for another round of sales of its Apple Home-compatible products that will enhance your smart home and its automation capabilities. Any of these products will integrate directly with the Home app and Aqara's app for a variety of control options.
Even if you're not Apple HomeKit native, Aqara can integrate into a variety of ecosystems like Alexa, Google Home, and more. There's no need to worry about getting locked into a single smart home experience.
Whichever you choose, the following Aqara products are discounted and ready to help improve the convenience and security of your smart home.
Smart Lock U100
Aqara's Smart Lock U100 is a deadbolt replacement that integrates with Apple Home via HomeKit. It supports multiple ways to unlock, including the keypad, fingerprint sensor, and optional NFC cards.

Thanks to Apple Home Key support, users can tap their iPhone or Apple Watch to lock or unlock the Smart Lock U100. Something called "Express Mode" on Apple's products allows this to work even if the device's battery is too depleted to power on.
Aqara says the fingerprint reader is 98.6% accurate and can store 50 fingerprints locally. It is protected by AES128 encryption to keep fingerprint data safe.
There is a USB-C port for providing temporary power in case of a dead battery, but that shouldn't be an issue. The battery will last up to 8 months, and the Aqara app will warn users when a replacement is needed.
Get the Aqara Smart Lock U100 for $124.99 from Amazon. That's a 34% discount from the original price of $189.99.
Smart Lock U300
If you're looking for a complete door knob replacement instead of a deadbolt one, the Aqara Smart Lock U300 is an excellent option. It supports a similar range of unlocking options to the U100, but gains a few additional features.

It supports Matter over Thread, which helps extend its battery life and offers a wider ecosystem compatibility. Unlock the door with a fingerprint reader, Apple Home Key, PIN codes, and with temporary passwords.
There are also options for automatic lock settings and a quiet operation mode. Passage Mode also stops auto-lock for a period, like when groceries are being brought inside.
The battery lasts about 10 months. There is also backup power available via USB-C.
Get the Aqara Smart Lock U300 for $169.99. That's a 26% discount from the original price of $229.99.
Camera Hub G5 Pro
If you're in the market for an outdoor security camera, the Camera Hub G5 Pro is an all-in-one unit. It can capture 1520p video with color night vision while also acting as a hub for Aqara and Matter.

There are Wi-Fi or PoE versions, and both can be connected to network storage. There's also support for HomeKit Secure Video and recording directly to a local encrypted eMMC storage.
Onboard NPUs operate local models for detection and alerts that are shown in the Aqara app. It has both 7-in-1 Visual AI and 4-in-1 Audio AI systems for recognizing people, animals, and vehicles that come into view.

Users also have the option of recording video directly to an SD card of up to 512GB. Privacy options include creating masked areas that are blocked while recording.
The Doorbell Camera Hub G410 connects via Wi-Fi Dual-band 2.4/5 GHz for wider compatibility. It can also be battery-powered or wired directly to an external power supply.
The mmWave Radar sensor ensures fewer false alerts occur. Also, there's two-way audio that lets the home user mask their voice with filters for additional privacy.
Get the Doorbell Camera Hub G410 for $103.99. That's a 20% discount from $129.99.
LED Bulb T2
One of the simplest ways to start a smart home, or expand it, is by adding more smart lights. The Aqara LED Bulb T2 E26 model is a great option that integrates with your smart home ecosystem.

It can communicate over Thread and Zigbee or be attached to an Aqara hub. If you don't have an Aqara hub, that's fine, since it can communicate with your Apple Home via Matter over Thread.
The bulb offers 16 million colors and 1,100 lumens. It also works with Apple Home Adaptive Lighting.
Set up automations for the lights in Apple Home or the Aqara app. Also, power states can be set to preserve if power is lost so lights aren't flashing on after an outage.
Get the Aqara LED Bulb T2 E26 for $17.99. That's a 22% discount from the original price of $22.99.
Door & Window Sensor Bundle
Add some more automation points to your Apple Home with a three-pack of door and window sensors from Aqara. Turn on a light when a door is opened, or turn on the AC when closing a window.

These sensors can be placed anywhere, not just external accesses. Get alerts if someone opens your office door, or sound an alarm if someone accesses the snack cabinet at the wrong time.
Save 32% on Door & Window sensors
The batteries last for two years. Set up automations for peace of mind when you're away and know exactly when any door or window is opened or closed in your home.
Get the Door & Window Sensor bundle for $33.99. That's a 32% discount from the original price of $49.99.
Presence Sensor FP2
Standard motion sensors tend to leave you in a dark room if you've not moved much, but presence sensors go further. The Aqara Presence Sensor FP2 uses advanced motion sensing and people detection via mmWave to ensure automations run, and keep running, when people are present.

It will monitor a room of up to 430 square feet, detect up to five people, and run automations based on the exact location of each person. Users can define up to 30 zones in 320 cells and the FP2 can trigger automations based on occupied cells — this is called zone positioning.
The zone positioning feature can be used in Aqara's app, Apple Home, and other third-party ecosystems. There's also a light sensor that ensures a light turns on when a person enters a space rather than just toggling the state of the light.
The Presence Sensor FP2 can also detect falls and monitor a single sleeper in a space to track health details.
Get the Presence Sensor FP2 for $54.99. That's a 34% discount from the original price of $82.99.
Hub M3
If you're interested in having an Aqara hub but don't have a need for one of the camera hubs, Aqara offers the Hub M3. It is a standalone hub that supports Matter, Zigbee, and Thread.

It also helps when using devices that are controlled via an IR blaster. That means you'll be able to add ceiling fans, space heaters, and other appliances to your smart home apps, including Apple Home.
If you're looking for an Aqara hub that doesn't have a microphone or camera for privacy reasons, the Hub M3 is the solution. It's private, encrypted, and secure.
Get the Hub M3 for $99.99. That's a 23% discount from the original price of $129.99.
