Overview
- Nuki’s new Keypad 2 NFC lets a paired smart lock open with a phone or smartwatch tap, and the accessory lists for €179.
- Support for the Aliro standard enables digital keys to pass over NFC or Bluetooth, and Apple Wallet Home Key or Samsung Digital Home can work when a Matter hub is in place.
- Without a hub, the Nuki app mode still unlocks the door, but the user must first unlock the phone and then confirm the action on screen.
- The keypad lacks ultra‑wideband radio for precise presence checks and cannot gain UWB through a software update.
- Nuki says it uses end‑to‑end encryption like payment systems and stores access data on the device, with the cloud left as an optional add‑on.
