Nuki launches the Keypad 2 NFC, the first smart lock accessory to support the new Aliro standard for seamless mobile unlocking.
Key points
- Aliro Integration: The new keypad supports the Aliro standard, which allows smart locks to work across different platforms and devices without needing a specific manufacturer’s app.
- Apple Home Key Support: By pairing the Keypad 2 NFC with a Nuki Smart Lock, users can unlock their doors by simply tapping their iPhone or Apple Watch, similar to using a digital transit card.
- Multiple Access Methods: Beyond NFC/Home Key, the keypad offers biometric fingerprint scanning (up to 20 users) and traditional PIN codes (up to 200 codes).
- Minimalist Design: The Nuki system is designed to be installed on the inside of an existing deadbolt, keeping the exterior of the door looking like a standard lock.
- Weather-Resistant: The keypad is rated IP54 for water and dust resistance and is powered by AAA batteries that last up to a year.
The adoption of the Aliro standard is a major step toward making smart home technology "universal," allowing different devices and phones to communicate more easily. This makes it significantly more convenient for users to manage home access without juggling multiple apps or proprietary hardware.
