Benefits of reworked Shortcuts

Whether it's a Smart Lock, Opener, or Smart Door, the shortcuts allow you to quickly and easily manage and control all Nuki devices. - Default activation
Shortcuts are enabled by default. There is no need for manual configuration, allowing you to use shortcuts immediately. - Integration with Apple Watches

Supported Lock Actions
Through the shortcuts, you can perform one of the following actions:
- Unlock
- Lock
- Open the door
- Lock 'n' Go for Smart Lock and Smart Door
- Ring to Open for the Nuki Opener
Once the action is executed, you will receive a confirmation. Additionally, you can check the device status at any time via shortcuts.
Supported of Siri phrases
With Siri Shortcuts, you can interact with the Nuki app easily and intuitively. Simply mention ”Nuki”, the name of your device, and the action you want to perform. Siri will respond and fulfill your requests.
How to Talk to Siri
When speaking to Siri, the phrase should include ”Nuki”, the ”Name of the device”, and the ”Action” you want to perform.
You want your Smart Lock named 'Home' to lock your door.
Say: ”Hey Siri! Lock Nuki 'Home'”
Siri confirms the action once it's successfully performed ('Home' locked).
Shortcuts Settings
For users of iOS 16 and below, the existing shortcuts will remain available. To activate them, open the menu in the Nuki app (top left, three yellow bars), go to ”App Settings”, and then ”Shortcuts”.
From iOS 17 onwards, only the new shortcuts will be offered to ensure an efficient and comfortable user experience. Shortcuts are enabled by default and require no manual settings. However, already configured shortcuts remain available and continue to function.
