Nuki Debuts Its Smart Lock Solution In the US
European smart lock company Nuki has announced its entry into the United States Market with the newest version version of its flagship product, the Nuki Smart Lock. Developed in Austria and manufactured in Europe, the latest Nuki Smart Lock allows users to unlock their door automatically in under one second. This performance is enabled by brushless motor technology – used in a Nuki Smart Lock for the first time.
The Nuki Smart Lock retrofits onto an existing U.S. single-cylinder deadbolt, installing in under 15 minutes without any drilling or modifications required. This newest generation provides full support for Matter, and features expanded compatibility with other smart home platforms including Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings and more.
Some of the Nuki Smart Lock’s features and benefits include:
- Privacy is a core value, unlike with other smart lock providers, personal and security-relevant data are not stored on Nuki servers to protect user privacy choices. The Nuki Smart Lock can be used without the need to create an account, with all data stored locally.
- Designed with end-to-end encryption commonly used by online banks, Nuki’s software meets rigorous security standards to ensure users data protection.
- Fitting into any home aesthetic, the compact design is only 2.2 inches in diameter and comes with a sleek stainless steel body and a black base ring.
- Providing users with multi-access options for convenience, the lock is controlled via the Nuki App, offering complete control from anywhere. It can also be unlocked via smartphones, smartwatches, PIN-code, fingerprint and even the physical key – with users always having access to lock activity through the app.
- Hands-free unlocking, Nuki’s Auto Unlock feature opens a door automatically when you come home. The Nuki App detects when you leave your home. When you return, your Smart Lock automatically opens the door.
- High-speed locking mode offers quieter entry and exit, and up to 12 months battery life.*
- The centerpiece of innovation is the newly developed brushless motor. Previously known mainly from electric vehicles, this technology now brings its proven efficiency and durability to a Nuki Smart Lock for the first time.
The Nuki Smart Lock is now available for purchase on Amazon: The Nuki Smart Lock and Keypad 2, which comes with access code and fingerprint options, is priced at $229. If you opt for just the lock ($159) to begin with, you can add various accessories like Nuki Keypad with code option ($89), Keypad 2 with code and fingerprint ($149) or the Door Sensor ($59), at any time. All prices MSRP. Products will be available in Nuki’s own online shop later this fall.
