At the risk of sounding dull, the key to the smart home begins with — in my humble opinion — the front door. Allow me to explain. One of the top recommendations I always give for people starting a smart home is to install either a video doorbell or a smart lock. When used together, they are a tour de force. You can let package couriers in temporarily to drop an expensive delivery inside your home — instead of having it sit around outside for hours. You can also issue guest or temp keys for family, friends, and beyond. Which brings us to the topic of today, Aqara’s smart locks. They do all of this and more and they’re on sale today for a pretty hefty discount.

The Aqara Smart Lock U100 and Aqara Smart Lock U300 are the focus today, and you can get up to 32% off at Amazon from now until December 22. The U100 is $130 instead of $190, while the U300 is $180 instead of $230. Let’s talk a bit more about what they can do.

With Apple Home and Home Key support, and plenty of automation through Aqara, including third-party devices, this smart lock is fully customizable. For example, you can sync it with ecosystems like Google Home, Alexa, or even IFTTT. It features an auto-lock and do-not-disturb mode, the latter of which mutes door lock sounds to keep the house quiet. You could also enable the always open mode which leaves the door unlocked, for when you know visitors are coming.

This smart lock can be opened via the built-in keypad, Bluetooth with your phone or app, and fingerprint — with up to 50 unique fingerprints stored. It’s powered by standard AA batteries, which should last for up to 8 months under standard use.

The Smart Lock U300, as you can see, features a more streamlined and modern design with the keypad built right into the handle element. It also supports Apple Home and Home Keys integration. Plus, it syncs with an Aqara thread-enabled Matter hub, Google Home, Alexa, IFTTT, and Samsung SmartThings. You can unlock it via the keypad, fingerprints, or your phone. You can also use an Aqara NFC card, but that’s sold separately.

It has auto-lock and do-not-disturb modes, and temporary passcodes, and it’s all easy to install.

Remember Samsung’s Ballie home robot? It may finally be inching closer to reality
Leaked app wireframes give the strongest hint yet that Samsung's Ballie home robot, first shown at CES 2020, might still be headed toward an actual release.

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.

The FCC has already made it much harder for foreign drone makers such as DJI to bring new products into the US. Now, the same crackdown is reaching a machine far more likely to be moving around your living room.

The US government recently added foreign-made advanced robotic devices to the FCC’s Covered List. The announcement appeared focused on humanoids, robot dogs, and industrial machines, but an FCC spokesperson has confirmed to The Verge that robot vacuum cleaners are covered too.

The GOKO M6 Robotic Lawn Mower Brings Industrial Robotics to Modern Lawn Care
7 reasons this AI-driven powerhouse makes hands-free yard work smarter than ever
Grass, Lawn, Plant

Robotic lawn mowers can save homeowners hours of manual yard work, but not every model is designed for challenging properties. While many perform well on flat lawns, larger yards with uneven terrain, steep slopes, and multiple mowing zones require a mower built for more demanding conditions.

Developed by GOKO, the consumer robotics brand of Robot++, the GOKO M6 is an industrial-grade 4WD AI-powered robotic lawn mower that brings more than a decade of industrial robotics expertise to residential lawn care. It combines AI-powered four-wheel drive, advanced navigation technologies, and AI QuadVision obstacle detection to tackle complex landscapes with less manual intervention.
