Aqara Smart Lock N100 Zigbee Edition vs SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo

Full Smart Door Locks comparison in 2026

Data from Amazon and official Aqara and SwitchBot sites.
2026 verdict
With face recognition, Matter and a fuller security feature set, the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo is the stronger smart lock here: it works natively with Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter, and adds 3D face unlock, anti-peep codes and an emergency fingerprint on top of fingerprint, keypad, NFC and Apple Home Key. Its geolocation auto-unlock and door open-close sensor round it out. The Aqara Smart Lock N100 Zigbee Edition is the cheaper, longer-running alternative, rated for about a year and a half on eight AA batteries (the SwitchBot manages about nine months per charge), with Zigbee connectivity and a built-in doorbell, although Alexa and Google Home need an Aqara hub. Choose the SwitchBot for the widest compatibility and hands-free face unlock, the N100 for a budget HomeKit or Zigbee setup.
