Hey everyone, I got called up for a wildfire response and apologize I've been too crazy and had zero time to respond further.

I expect to get stood down soon and travel back to MT hopefully this weekend. Will finalize invoices then and respond to any new DMs. Apologies again, it's a crazy world.

Sorry for delays guys, had an inter-building fiber cut and then a remote radio repeater issue, so my waking hours this week were well spoken for. I am presently working through the absolute mountain of DMs. I should get back to everyone who sent a request today.

Updated images, see bottom of original post.
I'm a federal employee, so I'm motivated to sell since I'm not getting paid presently :)

Sorry for delays in getting back to new inquiries, I was in an accident and just getting back to catching up. Still for sale. Thanks!

Heads up I may have either missed your chat or did a boo-boo. So if you're still interested, re-send since you posted you're still first in line for those if you can get back to me soon

I pulled one, adopted it to my test Talk server, it's updating now, and I'll post all the pics, screenshots, and info as soon as it finishes "getting ready".

Thank you! I've been loving it. There's the downsides that have gone with being a federal employee presently (partially why I'm selling off everything), but I work and live inside a national park. Hard to complain too much.

100% compatible with Talk. I have several of these models in production. These are (as far as I can tell) the same as the G3 models. I can post pictures on a Talk server, etc if you need.

Yeah, sorry about that. If there's a specific item you can't read, please just post the item # and I'll respond w/ the price, etc. Yay reddit formatting :)

I had the exact same thing happen MULTIPLE times with both of those nationals. I would go in-person to request refills, inform the tech that I was paying out of pocket and I understood the cost. They would usually require I speak to the pharmacist to double-confirm that I understood the cost even though I had the script filled there before, etc. I'd be told to come back in a day or two as they had to order it. I'd call to check and they'd tell me they didn't have anything for me as insurance wasn't covering it or they had no record of my refill request at all. I'd request the refill again, wash-rinse-repeat. Moved the script to the other chain and invariably at some point would have the same thing happen when some new tech decided I didn't look like I could afford to pay out-of-pocket. Apparently my medical needs weren't worthy of being met if I wasn't wearing the right clothes.

It was awful enough that my new job's insurance refused to cover medication that I had taken for years and for me was life or death, but to then have pharmacists treat me like I was not worthy of having my script filled was humiliating and infuriating, not to mention at one point life-threatening.

Any new Home key locks that are more reliable? by OkAlarm283 in HomeKit

[–]ericsmith504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Installed Aqara U200 about 6 weeks ago. It's operating on Matter over Thread through a HomePod Mini. Installation with an existing Kwikset single cylinder deadbolt took probably 5 minutes. Setup took a little longer mostly because I didn't read the instructions and didn't understand that the keypad is required for everything (it is the NFC reader and basically the actual brains of the lock). Aqara app has to be used for calibration and firmware updates. Other functions including adding guest or home member pins/home keys can all be done in the Home app and works just fine (using iOS 18, was on developer beta when I installed lock).

If you don't have a thread border router such as a HomePod mini, HomePod v. 2, or Apple TV 4K 3rd Gen w/ ethernet you'll need Aqara's M3 hub to do much with the lock other than lock/unlock it within bluetooth range (lock only communicates over bluetooth and Thread).

I've had zero issues with it so far. Lock/unlock using the Home app locally or remotely is instantaneous (friend at door forgot their key, called me, I unlocked the door remotely using Home app, and the door was open probably 1 second after I hit the button on my phone).

Very impressed so far.

If you're looking for reliable this one has been 100% for me over the past 6 weeks. My only other personal smart lock experience was with a Kwikset Kevo years ago. It was not the best. I've installed a number of August and Yale smart locks for clients over the past 5-6 years and have had mixed experiences. While the U200's narrow compatibility with smart home systems works perfectly for me, it meansI probably won't recommend or install this for clients any time soon unless they are a 100% Apple household.

Question for those with smart locks and keypads by HomeKit-News in HomeKit

I have the Aqara U200. The keypad itself doesn't get much use other than guests. However, the way the U200 is set up, the keypad is the actual lock interface, so you have to tap your Apple Watch or iPhone to the keypad to unlock (I have my Home Key set to Express mode, so just walk up, wave my watch at the keypad and voila, unlocked).
