Nuki Smart Lock

What Nuki Smart Lock does

Nuki Smart Lock is the companion app for Nuki’s smart door-lock hardware. It lets you use an Android phone as a digital key, check the lock’s status, and control access to your home. The app is aimed at households that want keyless entry without replacing their entire door setup, provided the existing lock is compatible with Nuki hardware.

Useful access controls

You can lock or unlock the door from the app, including remotely when the relevant Nuki setup supports it. Access can also be shared with other people, making it practical for family members, guests, cleaners, or tradespeople. An activity log records unlocking events, so you can see who accessed the door and when.

Automatic features reduce the need to open the app manually. Auto Unlock can recognise your arrival and open the door, while Auto Lock can secure it after you leave or after a configured period. Night Mode combines selected security settings for a defined part of the day. Availability and behaviour depend on the Nuki lock and accessories in use.

Works beyond the phone

The app supports Wear OS smartwatches, including watch tiles and complications, for quicker access. Nuki also offers optional accessories such as keypads for fingerprint or entry-code access and a button-based fob for users who do not want to carry a phone. Matter support helps connect compatible Nuki locks with supported smart-home systems.

Worth knowing

This is a focused control app rather than a general home-automation dashboard. Its value depends on owning compatible Nuki equipment and having a door that can support it; the app includes guidance for the setup process and compatibility checks. Developed by Nuki Home Solutions GmbH, it has a 4.25 rating from 18,693 reviews and more than 1,000,000 installs.
