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 in Pro version.
The Smart Lock 3.0 is a particularly successful connected lock. We see that Nuki masters its subject and the new features 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, which doesn’t spoil anything, its price is a good surprise. A real success therefore.
Strong points
- Easy installation.
- 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 the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
This version 3.0 of the Nuki Smart Lock connected lock is just as reliable as the Pro version and its price positioning makes it an interesting alternative when remote control is not required. The Bridge accessory sold separately makes up for this gap if the need arises over time. In all cases, the installation remains very simple, as does the use thanks to a well-made application, but we regret the noise, again a little too loud from the motor.
