help Aqara Smart Lock P1 FAQ
Does the Aqara Smart Lock P1 work with Apple HomeKit and Home Key?
The Aqara Smart Lock P1 works with Apple HomeKit when connected through an Aqara Zigbee hub such as the M2 or Hub E1. Home Key support varies by firmware and hub version, so users should verify compatibility with their specific Aqara hub model before relying on that feature.
What unlocking methods does the Aqara Smart Lock P1 support?
The Aqara P1 supports fingerprint recognition, PIN codes, NFC key cards, physical keys as a backup, and remote unlocking through the Aqara app. The fingerprint sensor can store multiple fingerprints, making it practical for households with several users.
What batteries does the Aqara Smart Lock P1 use and how long do they last?
The Aqara Smart Lock P1 is powered by eight AA batteries housed in the interior assembly. Aqara states a battery life of up to one year under typical usage, though cold weather and frequent locking cycles will reduce that figure.
Can I still unlock the Aqara Smart Lock P1 if my Wi-Fi or internet goes down?
Yes, because the P1 communicates via Zigbee to a local Aqara hub, fingerprint, PIN, and key card access all continue to function without internet. Only remote app-based unlocking and voice assistant integration require an active internet connection to the hub.
