Aqara A100 via Matter with M3 hub

[rolandking]

I’ve hunted the archives but cannot find much about the Aqara A100 door lock. I like this model more than the matter-enabled Aqara products as it has multiple locking elements.

I have an M3 hub, I’ve paired my H2 dimmers with it and exported it via matter to HA. This works well and I think it will work ok with Homekit also. Does anyone have a good experience with adding the A100 door lock to that hub and sharing via Matter? What entities are exported? Can I unlock remotely?

The newer Uxxx locks I think work a lot better as they are thread/matter out of the box (although I found pairing the H2s works better via zigbee) but I’d like to use this device. Even if I can only get logs of unlocks that would be a win, the ability to remote unlock would be a big win.

Does not work as far as I know unless Aqara have added the feature very recently.

Aqara Smart Door Lock A100 Zigbee

Replying to myself for reference for anyone. I have an International M2 hub flashed with GitHub - niceboygithub/AqaraGateway: Aqara Gateway/Hub integration for Home Assistant connected to the International A100 Zigbee. All is working well as follows: I can see… Away Mode Battery Door State Key Id Latch State Lock Lock by Handle Lock Event All in real-time directly through the Aqara gateway integration. To actually unlock the door this only works via bluetooth (HomeKit). I am also a…

I couldn’t get anything about the lock over matter.

Aqara A100 Zigbee not showing in Matter on M2 Hub

Hi as I mentioned in this topic… I am unable to get an Aqara A100 Lock that is bound to an Aqara M2 International Hub to show in Matter. Other devices work. Does something need to be added to the Matter server or integration to expose this lock? I can provide any logs required or do any testing that could help resolve this issue. JC.

Update, hooray, perhaps they have just added it:

They have added it but it’s quite a weak integration. You can only see the lock state which sounds like it’s useful but it’s not. I was hoping you’d be able to see the door open/closed state too but you cannot. So I’m going to add a door sensor to this door as well.

Hi. Can you show me what features are currently available? Thank you!

Are you able to get who unlocked notifications?

It shows whether the door was opened from the inside or from the outside?

Also, can you tell between closed and handle lift up fully locked?

I have A100 Pro (chineese version) and M3 hub (also chineese). Lock is connected to hub through zigbee.
I connect hub to matter integration in Home Assistant, but lock is not available in HA. The only way to connect lock to HA I found through signal sync in Aqara app. You can create signal in Aqara app (e.g. lock is opened with some fingerprint), share it to HA ecosystem and it becomes available in matter integration in HA as a device. So you can use it as a trigger in HA.
