Nuki, a well-known brand in Europe, has introduced its Smart Lock to the U.S. market, priced affordably at $159. Recognized for its retrofit smart lock solutions, Nuki provides a product that can be easily installed over existing single-cylinder deadbolts and integrates flawlessly with various smart home protocols, such as Matter, Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, and Home Assistant. This guarantees compatibility with an extensive range of smart home systems.
The U.S. version of the Smart Lock differs from the European Smart Lock Pro, which is priced at €269 ($317). Although both variants are equipped with Nuki’s latest brushless motor and support Matter over Thread integration, the Pro version offers adjustable speed modes, a more elegant design, and free app access.
For customers in the U.S., a $5.90 monthly Nuki Premium subscription is necessary for remote access and extra features. However, those who set up the Smart Lock before September 30 can benefit from lifetime access to Nuki Premium at no additional charge.
The Smart Lock is crafted for user-friendliness, featuring extensive customization options and a built-in battery that lasts six months between charges. It includes a custom magnetic connector with a standard USB-C port for easy charging.
Nuki’s app is praised for its intuitive interface and strong privacy settings, distinguishing it in the smart home arena. The Smart Lock is an attractive option for anyone looking for a retrofit solution, particularly with the current promotion of free Nuki Premium access for early users.
