Lock n Go with Alexa and Matter

Nuki APIs Matter
1

Hello,

I had a Nuki Pro 4th gen. and used the http API via the bridge which did a Lock n Go to open my locked door when I clicked a “I am going”-button and then switched off all lights, stopped tv and so on.

Now I bought a Pro 5th gen. and as it can’t connect to the bridge anymore I have to use Matter. I couldn’t find a way for a Lock n Go in Matter yet.
So now I tried an Alexa Routine when leaving my flat which first unlocks the door and 20 seconds later locks it again. But Alexa does NOT support UNLOCK in a routine?

I know that I could do a Lock n Go direct on Nuki with a double tap but as I also have to click my “I am going”-button I wanted to implement the Lock n Go into this single button press …

I checked with Homey Pro and Apple Home which both offer LOCK and UNLOCK functions.
Only Alexa just offers LOCK.

Have I just overseen something or is it really not possible?

Thanks for input
Gert

Matter does not support lock’n’go as a command. The Amazon restrictions seem to be general and not restricted to Nuki: Reddit link

You could try the Nuki Web based skill: https://help.nuki.io/hc/en-001/articles/360017685278-Nuki-Web-integration-with-Amazon-Alexa

The MQTT API also allows to send a lock’n’go locally, but you need a local MQTT server (Raspberry, Home Assistant or similar) for this.
