Summary
Quick summary what this request is about.
Option for the Nuki rotor to be locked
Features
Detailed description of desired features.
Since Nuki releases the rotor after each operation, it would be nice to include an option, where you can choose that the Nuki rotor will not disengage the rotor and become blocked.
This would be fine for your type of vacation, a month away from home, and lock the accesses are physical key, to give greater security to the entrance.
You could also include that option to lock the rotor, in night mode, lock any access with physical key.
Or something like that when the “vacation/safety mode” is activated, if it detects that there are cylinder turns with a physical key, the same nuki turns again and closes automatically.
Although I almost prefer the rotor lock more than it does the laps again on its own. But it could also be both.
Reason
Why is this feature needed? Por seguridad
Examples
Night mode, lock any access with physical key. That only the allowed accesses are from the app of someone you have As a user.
Vacation mode, if you go away from home for a month, no one has to enter with a physical key, except for the people you have authorized in the application. That they can only open through the app.
Also, if they try to pick the lock from the outside, it will not turn the cylinder when it is locked and will provide a little more security.
I will appreciate a vacation mode but not for locking the rotor. How would you enter home if in the battery of the lock got depleted?
I would say that the vacation mode could do exactly que opposite: disable the Eletronic lock and only allow to enter with the key and send a notification if the door was opened.
One of these days, don’t know why, I was walking my dog on the neighborhood and my phone did the notification sound of the opened door. My kids where at home and they told me the door opened by itself. Don’t know If I accidentally pressed the open door on the phone or on the smartwatch, but I would like to prevent that from happening when I’m away on vacation without having to manual disable all the remote option on all our users.
It’s not that difficult. The rotor lock could be configured, so that if the battery drops to 20%, the rotor lock is disabled. In vacation mode and in night mode it would be good to lock the rotor.
It is not necessary to lock the rotor completely. As long as the mechanism remains engaged, you will have to move the extra force generated by the mechanism and the resistance of the motor at rest. This will not be much, but enough to keep it from moving when they try to pick the lock from the outside with typical lock picks.
With the normal key, you could move it, although harder, if necessary.
