Who it’s for
- Security & Access Integrators
- US or Canadian project owners working with an appropriately qualified local installer
The project challenge
- A doorbell press should let a resident review a visitor without an unsafe unlock rule.
What the system should achieve
- Provide a resident-confirmed review and manual unlock path only.
Recommended system architecture
- Visitor → G4 viewing/intercom → authorized resident decision → separate supported lock control
- No automatic unlock trigger, facial-recognition unlock or shared unapproved credential.
Equipment & ecosystem choices
- Aqara G4 doorbell with required chime/power provisions
- Aqara U100 on an eligible residential door; compatible hub for requested remote functions
Installation & technical requirements
- Record model, region, firmware, pairing owner and recovery steps; test each requested rule before replicating it.
- Site acceptance focus: Provide a resident-confirmed review and manual unlock path only.
Compatibility & construction constraints
- Matter, Zigbee and Thread have different roles. A shared protocol logo does not prove all features, controllers or commercial workflows are compatible.
- Use G4 visitor viewing/intercom and an owner-confirmed U100 unlock action separately; never unlock on a doorbell or recognition event.
Make it your own
- For doorbell-to-lock workflow, confirm room/door/zone counts, agreed controls, notification recipients and installation stage.
- Specific decision: Use G4 visitor viewing/intercom and an owner-confirmed U100 unlock action separately; never unlock on a doorbell or recognition event.
Preliminary equipment plan
- Start with one representative unit of every model/firmware combination, its required controller/bridge and a pilot network; scale only after acceptance.
- Scale by the surveyed scope for doorbell-to-lock workflow, not by a fixed package advertised without a site schedule.
What shapes the budget
- Model combinations, rule count, network changes, licenses if applicable and maintenance ownership.
- Country/city, labor, taxes, shipping, warranty route and confirmed supply source; no price or stock is assumed.
