Apple households already running an Aqara Zigbee hub
A fingerprint and keypad deadbolt with Apple Home Key, NFC card support and a mechanical key, running on four AA batteries with a USB-C emergency port. Bluetooth and Zigbee do the talking, so remote access and voice control need an Aqara hub, and the manual lists no Thread or Matter.
