Aqara U300 Smart Lock

Hardware

Great thread here. I still struggled to get this working on my end, so sharing how I finally got there too!

Setup:

  • HA with Thread, Matter enabled
  • Eeros as Thread Border Routers for the Thread network
  • Aqara app

Steps:

  • Use Aqara app to setup the lock as instructed in manual, using local control with Bluetooth.
  • Have 1 admin user setup
  • On the lock, press “Set” firmly, the lock prompts for admin password/fingerprint so do that, then it gives menu options, choose Matter (#4 as of today)
  • In HA, under Matter integration, choose “Add device”, and then scan lock Matter QR code (you might have to prepare that step before doing the step above so it doesn’t time out)

After a minute or so, the lock appeared in HA!

Now I’m trying to add a HomeKey for my partner’s iPhone/watch (I’m an Android user so don’t know much about that), I haven’t figured that part out yet.

I see there are these triggers for the U300 in HA:

  • locking
  • opening
  • unlocking
  • {device name} locked
  • {device name} opened
  • {device name} unlocked

The locked/unlocked triggers work, but the opened one doesnt seem to trigger. I already activated the functionality in the U300 device to know when it is opened or closed and in the aqara app it shows correctly when I open the door.

Does anyone has the opened trigger working correctly in HA?
