Nuki Party mode, keep door unlatched (hold unlatch)

Product name

Any? Smart Lock (but in our case the Smart Lock Ultra)

Summary

I would love to have an party mode (for example with set duration) where the lock stays unlatched for doors that don’t have an lever.

Features

Example in app->settings->Party Mode
When pressing Party Mode you get a little dialogue; keep door unlatched for TIME. (then with a maximum of 10 hours or something).
In the app the lock should display Party Mode Door unlatched. Then when pressing that you should get an option to end party mode.

Reason

At our office we often have parties where guests need to walk in and out of the building.
Now I have guests putting the door on the locked state without closing it, damaging the doorframe and the internal locking mechanism.

Examples

When you have an party you can just tell guests the door is open.
Or if you have an BBQ in the front garden (our situation) you can close the door for the indoor heat but then you can easily open the door again without using an app, keypad or anything else.

Technical remark: The Smart Locks needs to power the motor in order to hold the latch, therefore it can not hold the latch for extended periods (without significantly draining the battery or even overheating).
