Repeater between Nuki Keypad 1.0 and Nuki Door Opener

Hello Nuki Development Team,

I enthusiastically use the Nuki Keypad 1.0 and the Nuki Door Opener. Due to the considerable distance between these devices, I need a repeater to enhance communication.

Could you provide information on the communication between Nuki Keypad 1.0 and Nuki Door Opener? This would be helpful for developing a customized repeater.

I am ready to actively participate and look forward to your assistance.

Thank you in advance.

Interested in this as well.

Does the keypad need direct connection with the Opener itself, or with the Nuki bridge?

4

Yes. KeyPad 1 and 2 connect via Bluetooth to the Smart Lock / Opener.

Thanks Jürgen!

Is it also possible to connect the Keypad 1 or 2 to a Nuki Bridge instead? And have the Nuki Bridge be connected to the Opener?

No

If you want remote access to your Opener through the Nuki App, you need a Bridge. Just to operate the Opener with a Keypad not, because the Keypad talks locally to the Opener via Bluetooth and the Opener also works without Internet connection.

One question remains unanswered. Is there a way we could extend the Bluetooth signal with a repeater or an amplifier ?
I have an issue where the keypad is at the building entry and the opener is in the apartment on the 2nd floor.

This is still an issue today - can we not have the keypad connect to the bridge and then the opener? I am on the first floor and the door is on the ground floor. If the apartment building door is open then the keypad connects but if its closed it is just that little too far and doesn’t work. I can plug the bridge in within the hallway and it would work.

Alternatively, can it be boosted with an ESP232 board - i.e. my Shelly PM switches act as Bluetooth repeaters, so my Sensirion CO2 monitors are automatically extended through those. Can we do that?

@Juergen is this possible?

As mentioned, my Sensiron C02 sensors automatically do this
