[joecomo]

Great update - i hope it can be continuously powered via USB-C - would be required for my use case

Will this Support the HomeKey feature?

Aqara U200 ist only 216€ and comes with a keypad Nuki charges an additional 159€ for.

It’s not mention in any of the press articles so I would assume no.

I had a Nuki from the very first month it came out and later updates. Now I have the much faster Aqara U200 that also supports HomeKey and absolutely love it. ridiculous how much Nuki continues to fall behind.

Had a Danalock v3 - baaad - and for a long time a bluetooth only Eqiva - very reliable but eats batteries.

The U200 was a breeze to install, you can remove the battery for charging or simply buy another and replace with a charged one.

Hasn't come up yet and the door gets used a lot each day.

You have a reliable and fast fingerprint reader as well if you forget your phone/watch and keys.

With the app it opens via bluetooth from up to 10 meters. Sometimes a bit less.

I disabled the remote unlock feature out of fear of mistakenly using it and this way homekit sees the lock but pressing on it does nothing.

Update on the battery:

77%

We installed it in August this year. Impressive with that many uses a day.

And did I mention it is fast, really fast.

"This is the last smart lock you will ever own!" 😎

Yep, really like it and how it just works.

I went to Nuki's website to try to find out where you insert a physical key, if needed (Nuki says they supply three), but I found no answers there either. All images I found showed the same slotless center on both the indoor and outdoor knobs, and no key slots anywhere else.

But there's an odd animation about midway down on the home page showing a simplified installation of the indoor knob for Nuki's prior, non-Ultra model, which has a large box hanging down from the knob, and that animation shows a regular door key being first inserted into a key slot on the door's deadbolt before the Nuki's indoor doorknob is placed over it.

I have no idea what to make of any of that.

The outside will stay the same as before installation. The lock cylinder is replaced with the Nuki one and the Nuki device installed onto that on the inside.
Outside looks like any other lock cylinder with a key slot. You can use a key to unlock if you wish, even if the Nuki has no power.
I have a spare key in a combination key safe in the garden just in case.

I see, thanks. In looking again at all of the Nuki website's promotional photos, I just noticed that none of them actually show the outside of any of the doors onto which the Nuki has been installed--all their photos seem to show only the inside Nuki doorknob, which of course has a flat middle with no key slot. Maybe they didn't want people seeing the outdoor knob or cylinder lockface and its key slot and wonder "If it's electronic, why is there a key slot?", when they should have actually reassured people that a physical key can still be used to get inside if needed, by showing photos of the outside of the installation too.
