Setting up your Matter integration

Matter enables seamless integration into leading Smart Home ecosystems. To integrate your Smart Lock into your Smart Home, you need a suitable hub that supports Matter via Thread. Compatible hubs include devices from Apple Home, Google Home, Samsung SmartThings, and Amazon Alexa. Activate Matter through the Nuki App when you set up your device. Alternatively, you can scan the Matter QR code. Manage your Matter connection in the app, enable or disable Matter and remote access, add the lock to other smart home systems, or delete the connection.

2. Go to device settings.
3. Under „Features & Configuration“, find „Integrations“ at the bottom.
4. Tap on „Smart Home“ and select „Matter“. The app will display supported Smart Home apps installed on your smartphone.

Manage the Matter connection

The Nuki App offers several options for managing your Matter connection.

Access Matter settings

1. Open the settings of your Smart Lock in the Nuki App.
2. Select „Features & Configuration“ and navigate to „Smart Home“.
3. Tap on „Matter“ to enter the overview screen.

Available options

• Enable/Disable Matter: Toggle Matter on or off without redoing the initial activation.
• Enable/Disable Remote Access: Enable or disable remote access via Thread. Remote access allows you to use all features of the Nuki App on the go without a Bridge or built-in Wi-Fi module.
• Add to another Smart Home system: Connect your Smart Lock to additional Smart Home systems using another Matter Smart Home hub. The additional hub does not need to be Thread-compatible.
• Delete connection: When you remove the Matter connection, your Smart Lock is unavailable via Matter. This connection will be irreversibly deleted. To reconnect, you must perform the Matter activation flow again.
