Smart Lock Pro working with Ubiquiti Unifi

[Petitbarzun (Pieter)]

Last yearJürgen Pansy described the best way to setup a separate network for IOT devices, that will work best with Smart Lock 3.0 Pro

Underlaying reasons for guest network

The underlying reason is that the Smart Lock 3.0 Pro needs to save battery as much as possible. Having the radio on is a major power drain, therefore it tries to reduce the airtime as much as possible. The more traffic there is on a network (esp. broadcasts), the more the Smart Lock needs to have the radio on. Most of the time the traffic is received and immediately trashed. Guest networks usually use client isolation and therefore a very calm from a Smart Locks perspective. They carry very lit…

The UI of Unifi has changed since then, so here is an updated overview of the settings, similar to what Jürgen shared. One note: Do not choose Guest Network, that does not work,

Does not work with Unifi Express and AP U6+ - it’s so sad… I tried all this Nuki 3.0 Pro looses connection despite AP is next to it - #120 by Simpson

Someone fixed it?

Had same issues and got the Wifi Bridge from Nuki and my problems are closed to be solve. Sometimes it does need some time to open the Door but its connected and reliable.

is Nuki bridge neccessary for every smart lock ? i got the matter support 4th gen , should i use a bridge or without it ?

[J_T1 (J T)]

If you want to use the Nuki Opener also you will need a Bridge but for the Standalone Lock its not neccessary but i had a lot of trouble connection my Nuki Pro 3 with my Unifi AP 6 Pro - it lost its connection often but with the Bridge everything is fine.

Question back to this:

So we are thinking of buying a Ubiquiti Doorbell (to replace the existing Nest Doorbell). I noticed that in the Ubquiti app, when someone rings the doorbell it comes up and then there is an unlock button on the screen. Is there a way to link this unlock button to a Nuki opener?
