Expose Smart Lock button as a Matter button

Product name

Nuki Smart Lock 4th Generation

Summary

The lock button should be exposed over Matter/Thread

Features

Exposing the button over Matter/Thread would allow the Home software to react to single, double and long presses.

See, for example, TUO Smart Button

Reason

This would enable a high level of configurability in home automation systems that extend beyond the capabilities of the Nuki app alone.

Examples

Using your smart home system, you could respond to button interactions to:

  • Temporarily disable an auto-lock automation. For instance, you want to wheel your bin to the end of the road, but your automation usually locks the door. Or you’re washing your car and want to leave the door unlocked to re-enter as needed.
  • Trigger a full lockdown of all your home locks. For example, a long press on the button could trigger an automation that locks all other locks in the house, the gate, the car, etc. arms the alarm system and notifies you of any windows left open.
