Having a smart lock is a good option for your home. It allows you to have greater control over your home door and you could even leave without physical keys, since you can access with your fingerprint, PIN or mobile phone. In this article, we discuss the new Nuki lock, the Nuki Smart Lock Ultra. We are going to talk to you about it and explain what is the most striking feature of this new version.
It should be noted that Nuki smart locks are very popular. It is one of the most famous brands in this type of home automation devices. They are quality and offer guarantees for good home protection. Now, they have made public this new model and the features it has.
New Nuki Smart Lock Ultra
This is the fifth generation of smart locks from this brand. As you can imagine, it presents certain new features to improve usability compared to previous versions. It will be available in Europe from next month. An important novelty is that it will be necessary to replace the entire lock, since we will not be able to continue using the previous key, in an additional way, as we could until now.
The most notable feature or improvement is the speed in closing. This is something that improves significantly compared to the first versions. In fact, the estimated time for it to close is just 1.5 seconds. It’s super fast, so you can leave the house and have the system close almost instantly.
It must be taken into account that, until now, the best locks closed in a time of between 2 and 3 seconds. Most even closer to 5 seconds. Now, this Nuki Smart Lock Ultra is going to reduce that time to approximately 1.5 seconds. It achieves this thanks to a new motor that it has, with technology similar to electric vehicle motors, although logically adapted to the type of device.
We must also highlight the smaller size. It is a third of the size of the original model, so it is reduced quite a bit. They achieve this, among other things, by using a smaller battery. However, it does not mean that the life of that battery will decrease, since it will continue to last for over 6 months, which is not bad at all. In addition, it can be charged in just 2 hours, compared to 10 for the previous model.
It’s okay if you forget to close
You will be able to open and close in different ways. The lock comes with three physical keys, so it is the first option you have. But also through a mobile phone, smart watch, a compatible home platform or a compatible keyboard. In addition, it can close itself thanks to geolocation-based technology. Basically, it will close when it detects that you have left the house.
As for connections, it works with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or Matter. It is compatible with Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, Apple Home and others. It is still a simple device to use, so you will not have problems configuring it and linking it with other systems in your home.
In short, Nuki now has its new smart lock, the Nuki Smart Lock Ultra, whose main feature is being much faster, in addition to being smaller than previous models. Preparing your home for home automation, and being able to use devices of this type, is important. The starting price is €349 and it will be available from December in Europe.
