Here’s why you need Nuki Premium. A guide for smart home users.

As smart locks become more connected and protocols like Matter and Thread improve local integration, it’s natural to ask: do I really need Nuki Premium?

It all comes down to how you want to use your Smart Lock.
Right out of the box, your Nuki Smart Lock lets you do the essentials: lock and unlock your door, use voice control (with integrations like Amazon Alexa), and run local automations when you're nearby.

But if you're looking for full remote access, smarter automation, and powerful extras like smart hosting tools, Nuki Premium unlocks the full potential of your Smart Lock.

And right now, it comes with a major benefit:
Until September 30, 2025, you can activate Nuki Premium and get it for free. After that date, it becomes a $5.90/month subscription.

The key difference: Bluetooth vs. Wi-Fi access

Without Nuki Premium, your Smart Lock connects to your phone via Bluetooth. You can use all features but only while you're physically near your door. If you’ve set up Matter over Thread, you can integrate it into your smart home and unlock remotely through that platform. But you're still limited by the capabilities of your local setup.

With Nuki Premium, your Smart Lock connects directly to your home Wi-Fi. That means full remote access and utilising the full feature set of the Nuki app no matter where you are. Lock or unlock the door from another city, check your activity log while on vacation, manage access permissions on the go, or get real-time alerts right to your phone.

What Nuki Premium adds

Here’s what sets Premium apart for everyday users, hosts, and smart home fans alike:

Is Nuki Premium right for you?

If you only use your Smart Lock on a single door at home, and you never need remote access or to share entry with others, then the standard setup might be all you need.

But if you always want to:

• unlock your door from anywhere
• know exactly who’s coming and going
• check your door’s status while you’re away
• share access with family, guests, or service providers—no matter where you are
• manage a short-term rental or vacation property
• take care of everything without needing to be on-site

…then Nuki Premium gives you the control and flexibility to do it all. Effortlessly.
