Thanks for sharing this. Do you know the dimensions of the internal mortise mechanism? I would like to know what size the cavity needs to be inside the door. Many thanks!
Pro model is locked to China region (to use with Acquara app requires a China-region bridge), whilst the zigbee edition works on “other” region in the app, with possible expansion to other regions in the future, but as of now the support says that they don’t have any timetable, so it could happen in undisclosed future or never. If you want only Apple HomeKit functionality you don’t need a hub so they’re in that term basically the same
@@StaagGI just installed the a100 pro but i cannot get it to work; cannot add to aqara app nor to apple homekit. Can u gimme advice, what should i do?
@@christiampv change batteries, reset the lock to factory settings by holding reset button for 5seconds. What errors do you get? HomeKit integration should work regardless of whether you to use bridge or not. For aqara app you ofc need CN hub and in settings you have to select China server. You can also try to add the lock to bridge without usage of the app - check your bridge’s manual how to turn on paring mode using it’s button (probably holding for 5s until you hear “please add accessory”, then do the same on the lock - it should pair.
@@StaagG Thanks for the advice. I`ve reset the lock several time, but I don´t understand what it says, Its chinese I guess. Homekit shows a message that can`t find the device. And in Aqara app the look says something in chinese but the pairing code never appears.
@@StaagG I´ve figured out what the problem is. The door lock seems to be already setup to another account; the lock is asking me to introduce an admin code, which I don´t have. Now I´m returning the lock to the seller. Hope u find this useful. Does anyone know how to hard reset these door locks?
After 1 year of using this. In case you got locked out from your door lock. Need to get a power bank to charge to open it with type C. The physical key can’t open it if battery low. What if charging port is broken and won’t charging to open? Answer is good bye to your lock because there is no way to open it the lock doesn’t get power up.
Hi, where have you bought this lock? can you share a link?
Hi, really liked your video 👍 but could you also measure the lock body? With that I could see if it fits into my door. Thanks in advance 😁

did you get to know, i have the same question
Hi I got the same door lock . Which region do you use for the app when adding it to Aqara app and do you need wifi at home to add it?
My understanding is that you need the Aqara Home Hud to get remote access like for an Airbnb and such.
Hello! What is the difference between the Aqara A100 Pro and Aqara A100 models ? What is the difference between Pro?
