Aqara Smart Lock U100 Fingerprint Deadbolt, Gray (SDL-D01)
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.
Published specifications
- Maker: Zigbee 3.0, Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC; no Wi-Fi listed in the manual
- Maker: Aqara Zigbee 3.0 hub required for remote and voice unlocking
- Maker: door thickness 35-55 mm; backset 2-3/8 in or 2-3/4 in
- Maker: up to 50 fingerprints, 75 passwords, 50 accounts
- Maker: four AA batteries, eight months average in Aqara's own test
- Maker: front panel IP65; the indoor panel is for indoor use only
Strengths
- Apple Home Key works from an iPhone or Apple Watch after HomeKit setup
- USB-C emergency port on the outside plus two mechanical keys
- Phantom passwords let you pad a code to twenty digits against onlookers
Caveats
- Remote access and voice control need an Aqara hub that is not included
- Apple Home only setup disables fingerprint recognition and auto-lock
- Listing title says Matter over Thread; the manual lists neither

Yale Assure Lock 2 Keypad with Wi-Fi, Black Suede (YRD410-WF1-BSP)
Standard US doors that pass Yale's printed door checker
A keypad deadbolt with a removable Wi-Fi module, unlimited scheduled codes, Auto-Unlock and a DoorSense sensor that keeps Auto-Lock from throwing the bolt on an open door. It keeps a mechanical key. Two things to settle first: the Wi-Fi band, and whether your door passes Yale's own Door Checker.

- Maker: three screw sets cover 1-3/8 in to 2-1/4 in door thickness

- Maker: four AA alkaline batteries; codes are 4 to 8 digits, unlimited
- Maker: Auto-Lock timer from 30 seconds to 30 minutes, off by default
Strengths
- DoorSense stops Auto-Lock firing while the door is still open
- Yale prints a tear-off door checker so you can verify fit before fitting
- Unlimited scheduled codes plus key, app, voice and Auto-Unlock entry
Caveats
- Maker footnote says 2.4GHz only; the listing claims 2.4 or 5 GHz
- Electronics warranty is stated as one year on Amazon, two on Yale's page
- Door thickness and bore limits in the listing differ from the guide
