Nuki has quickly become the benchmark for connected locks and each new generation is closely scrutinized. Two years after version 2.0, the manufacturer markets an innovative third generation.
The Smart Lock 3.0 is a particularly successful connected lock. We can see that Nuki has mastered its subject and the novelties of this new generation further improve the user experience. Installation is simple and the integration of Wi-Fi is a real plus. The application is a model of its kind and the openness to all ecosystems is to be welcomed. Of course, the lock remains a little bulky and a little too noisy, but nothing really prohibitive and, what does not spoil anything, its price is a good surprise. A real success then.
Points forts
- Installation facile.
- Exemplary finish.
- Integrated Wi-Fi (on the Pro version).
- Installation of the new opening detector much simpler.
- Compatibility with all voice assistants and Homekit.
- Well thought out app.
Weak points
- Rather noisy.
- Optional opening detector.
- Clutter.
- The promised autonomy seems optimistic to us.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
An alternative
The Yale Linus is a successful smart lock that ticks almost all the boxes. Its installation is smoothly carried out, including by DIY neophytes. The very clever door cylinder fits almost all openings. The application is simple, functional and compatible with many third-party services and applications.
