Where Nuki fits in a smart home

Nuki locks talk to a phone over Bluetooth. For remote access and voice control there are two routes: Matter over Thread on the newer locks (Go, Pro, Ultra and the 4th generation), which works with a Thread border router such as an Apple TV, Nest Hub, Echo or SmartThings hub, or Nuki's own cloud service, Nuki Web, reached through a Nuki Bridge or a built-in Wi-Fi module on models that have one.

That suits anyone who wants a lock that appears natively in Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings or Home Assistant, and people who like to script their own integrations: Nuki publishes a cloud Web API, a local Bridge HTTP API and MQTT support. Older locks without Matter rely on the Bridge or on Nuki Web, so the cloud and a separate accessory become part of the setup.

Apps

Nuki Smart Lock

The main app for setup, sharing access, activity log, Auto Unlock, Auto Lock and Night Mode. It is also where Matter is activated. Published by Nuki Home Solutions; the iPhone listing mentions Apple Watch and the Android listing mentions Wear OS. Nuki Web, the company's cloud service, is a separate web-based service rather than an app, and we found no other official Nuki app listings.

BluetoothYesNuki's Matter guide says the phone must be within Bluetooth range of the lock to activate Matter, and the Web API page describes a Nuki Bridge that forwards commands to the lock over Bluetooth.Nuki Matter setup guide Nuki Web API
Wi-FiYesNuki's Matter guide refers to remote access that works without a Bridge or built-in Wi-Fi module, and says Nuki does not plan to support Matter over Wi-Fi. A Nuki Bridge or built-in Wi-Fi connects the lock to Nuki Web. We did not find a Nuki page listing which models have built-in Wi-Fi.Nuki Matter setup guide
ThreadYesMatter over Thread is supported on Smart Lock Ultra, Pro, Go and the 4th generation. A Thread border router is needed, such as an Apple TV 4K, HomePod, Nest Hub, certain Echo or eero devices or a SmartThings hub.Nuki integrations help article Nuki Matter setup guide
Zigbee, Z-WaveNot mentionedNeither is mentioned in the Nuki pages we opened.Nuki integrations help article
MatterOfficialNuki says Matter over Thread works with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings. Matter is switched on in the Nuki app, and the connection cannot be undone once deleted, so it must be set up again from scratch.

Home AssistantOfficialTwo routes. The Nuki Matter integration works locally over Thread, and Nuki is a Works with Home Assistant partner for Smart Lock Go, Pro and Ultra. The older Nuki Bridge integration, which Home Assistant contributors maintain rather than Nuki, talks to a Nuki Bridge over its local HTTP API (Local Polling). Nuki links to Home Assistant from its own integrations page.Home Assistant: Nuki Matter Home Assistant: Nuki Bridge Works with Home Assistant announcement
HomeyOfficialAthom publishes an app marked Official on homey.app. Its page lists Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and Homey Self-Hosted Server, and states that every listed Nuki device (Opener, Smart Lock, Smart Lock Go, Pro 4th and 5th generation, Ultra and the MQTT Smart Lock) requires a Homey Bridge.

openHABYesThe Nuki binding is in openHAB's own add-on list and covers Smart Lock (1.0, 2.0, 3.0 Pro and Smart Door) and Opener. It needs a Nuki Bridge with its HTTP API enabled and talks to it over the local network. Nuki does not maintain it as far as the page shows.openHAB Nuki binding
Node-REDUnconfirmedNo dedicated Nuki node was found, but the search was combined with other platforms and was not exhaustive. The local Bridge HTTP API and MQTT support could in principle be used from Node-RED, which we have not confirmed.Searched, no source
HubitatCommunityA beta Hubitat app by an individual developer was posted on Nuki's developer forum in June 2020 for the Nuki Bridge, Smart Lock 2.0 and Opener. It is not an official Nuki release, and we could not confirm that it is still maintained.Hubitat app forum post Hubitat compatible devices

MQTTOfficialNuki lists MQTT for Smart Lock 3.0 and higher, naming Homebridge and Home Assistant as examples of systems that can use it.Nuki integrations help article
Nuki Web APIOfficialA cloud API for locks with Remote Access, or locks reached through a Nuki Bridge. It uses a Nuki Web authentication key, offers webhooks and a Swagger interface at api.nuki.io, and does not cover local control or offline devices.Nuki Web API
Nuki Bridge HTTP APIOfficialA local API served by the Nuki Bridge. The Bridge is found through a discovery call to api.nuki.io, and an /auth call plus a button press on the Bridge enables the API and returns a token. Calls then go to the Bridge's local address without internet access, though the Bridge still reports lock status to Nuki's servers.Bridge discovery and HTTP API activation
