Q: How does the Smart Lock (4th Generation)/Ultra switch between WiFi and Matter? Is there any option in the Nuki App to enforce one path?
The current mechanic (FW 4.2.x) is as following:
If Matter & WiFi are both enabled, the Smart Lock evaluates while it boots if it can get online via Thread. If the remote access connection via Thread is not available within 60s it uses WiFi.
If it is on Thread and Thread becomes unavailable it does not automatically switch back to WiFi.
The Thread connection is only available as soon as the Smart Lock is paired to a Matter hub, it is not planned to support Matter via WiFi.
- You can force to always connect via WiFi by turning off Remote Access via Thread via the Matter settings in the Nuki App.
- You can force to always connect via Thread by turning off WiFi via the Nuki App.
- You can disable any attempts to connect to Nuki servers by turning off WiFi and Remote Access via Thread via the Matter settings in the Nuki App.
