Building out smart home security can be a pricey endeavour, but Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days can be a great place to score some discounts, including 40% or more off of select smart home gear from Aqara October 7-12.
One of the most impactful places to start with a smart home is with a smart door lock. Generally speaking, most homes can have their doors retrofitted with these locks, and Aqara has not one but two options available.
The Aqara Smart Lock U100, normally $189.99, is down to $124.99 for Prime Big Deals Day – a 34% discount – and is a great first smart door lock. It replaces your deadbolt and supports both PIN and fingerprint unlocking, while also working with smart home services through Matter support, including Google Home. If you’re using iOS, it also supports unlocking with Apple Watch.
The Aqara Smart Lock U300, meanwhile, replaces your handle or knob lock. It supports both a PIN and your fingerprint, while also working with Matter thanks to the latest Thread protocol, which means that it can connect and be managed by any Thread Border Router – for example, your Google Nest Hub. This lock is 26% off for Prime Big Deal Days, down to $169.99.
Another area you may want to focus on in terms of smart home security is with cameras.
Aqara’s Camera Hub G5 Pro is a great option for this.
