Nuki Smart Lock: New feature in iOS app

Nuki equips its iOS app with a new feature that has been available in the Android version for quite some time: The auto unlock function of the Nuki Smart Lock can now also be provided with a delay using iPhones. This is to prevent front doors from opening too early.

Auto Unlock with the Nuki Smart Lock

Nuki offers smart door locks that are designed to make everyday life easier. With them, it is possible to enter one’s home without a key. All that is needed is a smartphone with Nuki app and Bluetooth connection. As soon as the smartphone approaches the door lock, it tries to establish a connection. If the connection is stable, the lock opens and the door is free.

In practice, this has sometimes led to undesired events. For example, it happens time and again that door locks open too early. The users are still in the stairwell or even in the parking lot in front of the house, but the door is already buzzing – and thus open to unwanted guests. To prevent this, Nuki has introduced a delay function.

Auto Unlock with Delay

This feature has been available on Android devices for some time. Now, with the latest update, it is also integrated into the iOS app. A new option called ‘Delay’ can then be found in the Unlock settings. Here you can choose between three delay options: no delay, low delay and strong delay. In practice, it will certainly make sense to test the available options. Which one fits best in an individual case depends primarily on the spatial conditions on site. By default, the delay is still deactivated.

Availability

The delay option, unlike for example the possibility of a short-term rental, does not come with additional costs. It is open to all interested parties in the Nuki app. On Android devices, nothing changes. On iOS, it is available for the first time with version 2023.2.1.
