Pros

  • I have a Nuki. If the battery is empty, you can use it with the normal key like you do with a dumb lock.
  • If it is possible turn both keys independently when you insert them you can use smarts locks like nuki, switchbot or the like.
  • You can get slam shut doors which engage the multi point when shut. Then something likely nuki works perfectly
  • I've had Nuki since 2018ish, the 2.0 version lasted iver 5 years before it started playing up and Nuki gave me a discount towards a new model even though it was well out of warranty. They integrate with pretty much everything and have a...
  • Parent context: Nuki Reply: He did it all for the Nuki

Cons

  • Parent context: How’s your overall satisfaction with Nuki? I’m looking at it. (And also would use it in freezing conditions.) Reply: It works, it does its thing. It's not beautiful, but not ugly either. Biggest complaint is that I'm not...
  • ❌ Nuki, key turner
  • I had the same issue with my Nuki. You can buy a stronger magnet, the one that came with the Nuki is thin and weak. But I just got myself a separate ZigBee sensor instead and called it a day. The built in sensor is much slower to respond...
  • When they started going into the “well maybe you could consider upgrading” (not as in “here’s a discount code -that I wasn’t expecting-, just as a “well maybe it’s time”) it was clear they considered it part of the life of the product.
  • I would look into Nuki. Not positive it will work though.

Parent context: How’s your overall satisfaction with Nuki? I’m looking at it. (And also would use it in freezing conditions.) Reply: It works, it does its thing. It's not beautiful, but not ugly either. Biggest complaint is that I'm not always getting notifications if batteries are running low (but maybe it's because I rarely use the app).

I've had Nuki since 2018ish, the 2.0 version lasted iver 5 years before it started playing up and Nuki gave me a discount towards a new model even though it was well out of warranty. They integrate with pretty much everything and have a line of accessories although personally I only use the key fob as I don't want to advertise it's presence outside my home. On the whole I've been very satisfied with both locks I've owned.

what i'm looking for is something probably more complex, since must be inside the door frame and should be able to lock the door turning the locker 3 or 4 times, as smart locks (like nuki or awara) do.
