➡ As far as the “offline” issue I mentioned in the video…I didn’t test it extensively since I hadn’t fully set the lock up with Home Key or passcodes at the time and was in a rush to get back inside, but this is what Aqara has said… “being offline when connected to an Aqara hub should have no impact on the unlocking with a passcode, a fingerprint and the Apple home key, as the U100 is designed to function with Bluetooth and NFC without connecting to any Aqara hub.” To get the lock back online, I removed the batteries and put them back in and it starting working again.
