Enable IPv6 connectivity for Nuki cloud servers

Product Name

All Nuki Matter-capable products

Summary

Enable IPv6 connectivity for Nuki cloud servers

Features

Ensure that Nuki cloud services, including addresses like api.nuki.io, web.nuki.io, etc., resolve to both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Reason

  • The Matter standard operates over IPv6
  • Some thread border routers, such as the Amazon Echo, lack support for NAT64
  • Increasingly, users are connecting to the internet through ISPs that offer dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) connectivity, with home routers that support DHCPv6-PD

Examples

Enabling IPv6 on Nuki servers would likely facilitate the use of features like Remote Admin over Matter on devices like the Nuki Smart Lock Pro, even in environments where the Thread border router doesn’t support NAT64
