Thanks for these videos on Nuki. I am from Canada and am moving into a house with multipoint door locks. There are NO options here in North America so, thanks for sharing this info. Once we move in I will try the Nuki locks.
Just bought the Nuki 4 (not PRO) and was easy to install with Matter into SmartThings. Works great! Not the pro because with integration in SmartThings I have no need for the wifi connection and the bit extra size for the batterypack I don't like and a freash pair of batteries are 5sec work.
Hi Mark Ultion Nuki said Nuki would work with Slam Lock as well. In the Nuki App setting need to be just tweeked to two turns on the knob. Same two turns when using manual mode.
Hi. I’m trialling the Aqara U200 but because of significant operational issues I’m now considering the Ultion Nuki combo. What do you see as the fundamental difference between the two products?
@@jimnewtonsmith Really, the biggest differences are HomeKey and price. The Nuki doesn't support HomeKey and whilst I expect the U200 will mean Nuki eventually release a HomeKey product that's purely speculation and probably a long way off. Price is also a factor because the Nuki doesn't include a keypad. It's also worth noting that for the base model Nuki 4 in order to enable Matter over thread you have to make a £45 in-app purchase. This means the Nuki 4 Pro is the best option as it's got built in Wifi and comes with a rechargeable battery pack! A final thing to note on the Ultion Nuki's is that the standard Ultion Nuki is still coming with the Nuki 3 and only the Ultion Nuki Plus comes with the 4th gen Nuki at the moment. Hopefully that helps
Hi Mark, after watching your video, definitely thinking the Niki lock is my best option. The only thing that’s holding me back is the fact that I have to pull up the handle to engage the multi-lock before turning the key. I have heard reports of smart lock breaking if the multi-lock is not engaged. How does Niki handle this - as in, if the handle wasn’t pulled up to engage the multi-lock ad you try to lock the door via HomeKit?
There’s been a few times when my handle hasn’t been fully pulled up or not at all and it just detects the resistance and stops and flashes red to say it’s jammed
Hi, thanks for your brilliant review. If I have apple HomePod as bridge , anything I will not have if I go for the non-pro Nuki 4? I think changing 4 AA battery will be quicker than unplug, charge the pro battery pack😅
The only thing you might want to consider is whether you want to be able to control the lock out of home using the Nuki app…you should still be able to via Apple’s home app but without the in-app £45 purchase for adding the matter remote access to a Nuki 4 (not pro) you won’t be able to see the status of the lock away from home in the Nuki app. Hope that makes sense…I have got a base model Nuki 4 review coming up on the channel soon
@@MarksTechVlogs I understood. Thank you very much for such a prompt reply. Is it difficult to set the nookie to pull the latch? My door does not have a knob on the outside
Great Video - Can the Nuki 4 Pro be set to alarm audibly at the lock and in the app if the handle to engage the multi-lock is not pulled up before turning the key?
Hi Mark, did you get a chance to test the unlock front door via intercom for us people living in apartments :-) I made the mistake of bying a Nello just before they went bankrupt :-(
No news on homekey and Nuki have only said they’re exploring it rather than actively working on it. I think it’s more to do with it being retro fit and an issue with Apple rather than anything else especially as the Nuki goes on the inside. If I’m speculating, I think if (and that’s a big if) we do see homekey support come it’ll be through an optional accessory that ends up on the outside of your house
At the moment Ultion haven't updated their packs to include the 4th Generation so there's no way to get the pack with the handle. The only way to do it would be to buy the existing Ultion Nuki pack and a 4 Pro (which works out more expensive even if you then sell on the Nuki 3 that comes with the Ultion Nuki pack)
Ah this explains my frustrations! 😂 Given I need the handle would you suggest the Ultion Niki with the 3 is still a good option. Shame as I have a black door and they do the 4 in black 🤷♀️ Great to be able to ask you a question Mark thank you so much. Your videos have been so useful.
i'm sorry for asking but i can't find documentation about this, can i set it up in a way that the lock cannot be unlocked from the inside unless authorised? i have a garden with an iron gate i don't want anyone to reach with their hands or for my small kids to wonder off. Right now it''s easy i just lock the gate from the inside and my mind is at rest, am i able to do that with this particular product or any other recommended product (with aff link ofc)
Hey, you can disable the button feature on the Nuki but not the twist to unlock…of the main smart locks I don’t think any of them actually offer what you’re asking
Hi Mark, I just bought a Nuki smart lock 4pro and successfully connected it to my Apple Home kit, but it always shows no response, now I only use a shortcut to use Siri, I want to ask is it any procedures wrong or need attention?
Very informative, but you're speaking far too quickly with very few visual examples, which is making it difficult for me to follow you. Example being your cool sounding auto-lock "g-allocation" feature. Shame...

Also keep a look out on the Aqara u200 which is coming onto kickstarter soon

Awesome, thanks for sharing…hopefully that will help others with the same question 😀
Great review!!! thank you for sharing all those software configuration details!
Thank you for your review . Can I unlock the lock remotely ?
Yes with the pro via WiFi in the Nuki app or in the Apple home app
@@MarksTechVlogs thank you . Are you aware maybe any common malfunction that will need human action can happen often ?
@@Raphaelch93 I've been using Nuki locks for about a year and a half and the only issue I've had was actually an issue with a faulty cylinder

Hi, great review. The homey integration is brilliant. But what do you think about the sound?
I don’t mind the sound, it’s useful from outside too as you can hear it kick in if you use the auto unlock

@@MarksTechVlogs- and works after you have engaged to lock fully, doesn’t break anything?
Yes works fine, mine hasn’t broken yet and not did my 3 which I used for a year before getting the 4 pro
i have a door with 2 locks (one muti point lock and one latch lock) presume i would need 2 of these? if so can one unlock command unlock both?
Ayyy fellow Interrupters fan 👋 great video btw 😊

@@MarksTechVlogs thank you so much for your instantaneous reply, looking forward to your review on the 4.0
Hello, very good video. Can you give me a link for the handle ??? I have Nuki Pro 4 and i want ONLY the handle =)
I'm afraid you can't get the handle on its own. Ultion only sell it as part of their Ultion Nuki package
@@MarksTechVlogs I understood. Thank you very much for such a prompt reply. Is it difficult to set the nookie to pull the latch? My door does not have a knob on the outside

I can’t but you will get a notification saying it’s jammed which is a good reminder to lift the handle
Hi Mark, did you get a chance to test the unlock front door via intercom for us people living in apartments :-) I made the mistake of bying a Nello just before they went bankrupt :-(
I didn’t I’m afraid
Thanks for making this video, very informative.
Any news on homekey?? nervous to pick this up on a promise.. (looking at you Yale!!)
No news on homekey and Nuki have only said they’re exploring it rather than actively working on it. I think it’s more to do with it being retro fit and an issue with Apple rather than anything else especially as the Nuki goes on the inside.

Not every lock can be unlocked from the outside when there is a key present on the inside. Especially not with new locks
does it support knobs? I don't have a key on the inside but a small knob that I have to twist by hand
Yes but it depends on the brand of lock you have...all the free adapters are here: shop.nuki.io/en-gb/spare-parts/nuki-adapter/
Do you have a link for compatible cylinders I think you mentioned Yale did one?
Basically any Yale thumb turn or any thumb turn by the manufacturers on the adapter list here shop.nuki.io/en-gb/spare-parts/nuki-adapter/
Do you still need to life the handle to lock?
If it’s a multi point lock then yes
Very useful. I’d like the Niki 4 Pro with the integrated internal handle and backplate but can’t seem to find this to purchase. Anyone?
At the moment Ultion haven't updated their packs to include the 4th Generation so there's no way to get the pack with the handle. The only way to do it would be to buy the existing Ultion Nuki pack and a 4 Pro (which works out more expensive even if you then sell on the Nuki 3 that comes with the Ultion Nuki pack)

Hi, I want to ask can I upside down to install the Nuki smart pro 4, cause my door handle is under the lock, it isn't enough place to install.
This suggests it should be ok developer.nuki.io/t/reversed-operation/9995
@@MarksTechVlogs Thanks a lot
Hi Mark, I just bought a Nuki smart lock 4pro and successfully connected it to my Apple Home kit, but it always shows no response, now I only use a shortcut to use Siri, I want to ask is it any procedures wrong or need attention?
@@ykf6388 hey, do you have something like an Apple TV that acts as your home hub?
@@MarksTechVlogs thanks your reply, I have a home pod and Apple TV, I usually use HomePod for my home hub
8:55 British locks are european locks. Britain is in Europe 😂
Very true! 😂

Thanks, I will try and keep this in mind when recording future videos. Did you have any specific questions? More than happy to answer them here
I set the playback speed to .75!
