Aqara U200 Smart Lock - Integration through Matter

Did you get the u200 working with hubitat?

I am new to Hubitat forum. Recently I bought C8 Pro hub, I am planning to buy U200 lock. But I would like to understand whether this lock will successfully work with latest Hubitat firmware and drivers are natively available .

When I gone through release note , it says U200 will be supported. Just I want to know does it compatible with latest firmware

Your question was answered earlier in this thread. Specifically in this post by @mike.maxwell

Thanks for your reply, that means I have to buy Aqara bridge (since Hubitat not natively support integration with U200) or TBR to connect with Hubitat , control the lock.

Or any other Matter bridge that also functions as a Thread border radio. Hubitat doesn't have a Thread radio.

I have just added a Aqara U400 lock to Hubitat through Matter. The lock was recognized as a "device" by Hubitat. I manually changed the device type to "Matter Lock". Now I can lock/unlock the lock through Hubitat though it would be nice if other features available in Apple Home were available in the Hubitat.

I'm no longer using a U200 lock so I can't tell if just changing the device type would work with that lock too. However, I wanted to let people know what worked with the U400.

Thanks

The U400 is fantastic. I've had mine for just shy of a month. While I do wish I can do more with it from Hubitat, I really find that I don't have much need to. Once it's setup via the Aqara app and/or Apple Home, everything just works.

I also just noticed that the battery level isn't being reported for the U400
Thanks

My understanding is that battery status and lock codes do not get reported via Matter.

They are.

Not to Hubitat currently.

And while the U400 currently does not, @mike.maxwell also confirmed at the end of the post here that several other locks also do not support code setting or code reading.

Also here about Matter locks in general.

I have a brand new SwitchBot Vision Pro lock that I've added to Hubitat through Matter. It was recognized as a Matter Lock and reports the battery level.

Thanks

With the addition of the matterLogs in the latest HE platform versions, it may be now easier to understand where the problem in Hubitat is.

I tried a few months ago, but failed at that time.

Mike was wrong.

@mike.maxwell Can this be looked into further? It would be nice to be able to use lock codes from my U400 with Rule Machine.

It is not a driver-level problem. The Matter diagnostic logs show that the lock sends an InvokeCommandResponse, but this response is not currently exposed to the Groovy driver.

So, for now, we need to wait for a Hubitat platform update that passes InvokeCommandResponse payloads (and possibly other Matter Interaction Model responses) through to drivers.

Ooops!

... I was wrong! :slight_smile:

The 'other connected service' is Hubitat! :slight_smile:


And yes - the PIN code works on the U200 keypad!

So, it seems a workaround is still possible! :tada:


Update : the first successful tests with the HE inbuilt 'Lock Code Manager' app :

Lock Code Manager does not even see my U400.

LCM would require the driver to support getCodes(), setCode(), and deleteCode() to "see" the lock. Hopefully there'll be a new driver that supports these functions for your U400 lock.

@jkudave you can try the latest version of the Matter Advanced Bridge, which brings the experimental/test support of Matter lock codes.

As this thread is about the Built-in Apps and Drivers category, please follow up on the MAB thread if you decide to test it.

Note, that the inbuilt ‘Generic Matter Lock’ driver and the MAB drivers are not compatible, so switching to the MAB will create a new child device, and you will have to edit your existing rules, apps and dashboards.

Does MAB work without any other hubs/bridges? I don't have one as my U400 was paired first to Apple Home and then Hubitat. No other hub is required/needed.
