Apartment renting requirements

I will be renting out a short term apartment over AirBnb and Booking. The entire apartment will be rebuilt.

What Nuki devices would you recommend me for the best experience and as close to no maintenance?

I need:

  • door lock
  • Opener
  • Keypad
  • bridge (for wifi connection)
  • power pack

Questions:

  • Are there other methods to unlock the main building doors? currently they are wired to intercoms for apartments
  • Does a door lock work only with a Nuki cylinder, or what kind of cylinders?
  • Does Nuki work with HomeAssistant?
  • Is it possible to put a Keypad 2 pro outside and combine it with Opener? i would like to have a robust solution outside.

Let me share my two cents:

  • Are there other methods to unlock the main building doors? currently they are wired to intercoms for apartments

=> You need to connect the Opener to the Intercom. Make sure to check for compatibility. though…

  • Does a door lock work only with a Nuki cylinder, or what kind of cylinders?

=> You can use any cylinder that supports the “emergency function” (you can unlock your door from the outside even if a key is inserted on the inside)

  • Does Nuki work with HomeAssistant?

=> The Nuki integration was introduced in Home Assistant 0.38

  • Is it possible to put a Keypad 2 pro outside and combine it with Opener? i would like to have a robust solution outside.

=> That I do not know but my guess would be that it is possible.
