Auto unlock with Apple watch

Warum funktioniert eigentlich bei der Apple Watch nicht der Auto unlock. Ich verstehe das Problem nicht, dass einer Umsetzung hier im Weg ist. Ich bin leider nicht der Typ der mit seinem Smarthome gerne Gespräche führt oder irgendwelche Apps aufruft um damit rumzuspielen. Unter smart verstehe ich, dass die Tür aufgeht wenn ich komme - nicht mehr aber auch nicht weniger.

This is an englisch speaking board therefore in englisch:

Question: Why is there no Auto Unlock for the Apple watch?

Answer: Because Apples Watch OS operating system does not provide the necessary functions required for Auto Unlock to work. Particularly background execution is drastically limited.

Hi Jürgen,

Can you detailed the exact WatchOS SDK API which are limited or missing ?

You should use the community to encourage Apple to add what Nuki needs for implementing this important feature.
In a similar way to how Firecore team are doing for Infuse app in the following link:

Best,

Every developer knows what is missing and it is missing (or not allowed to be used by 3rd parties) because Apple does not want it (because of battery life concerns, tactical or commercial reasons).

Sure, but if you share exactly what is needed for Nuki developers we can all try to encourage Apple to make that available in future updates.

Just revisiting this thread. Has there been any changes? I was able to use my watch as a Car Key yesterday (very exciting) is the same functionality not the same for the Nuki?

note - I am on Nuki Lock v.2. So understandably this may not work for me but it will be an incentive for me to upgrade.
