The Ultion Nuki Plus smart lock, renowned for its security features, has now integrated Matter support, enhancing both its interoperability with various smart home platforms and its security level. This new feature allows users to connect the smart lock to any major smart home system that operates with Matter, ensuring simplicity in setup and ecosystem integration.
The Ultion Nuki Plus, a product of the alliance between prestigious British lockmaker Ultion and smart lock manufacturer Nuki, now boasts a fusion of advanced engineering and diverse access choices. Previously, the smart lock was limited to remote control through HomeKit, but with Matter compatibility, users have a broader range of smart home integration options. Alongside its AES encryption, the lock employs banking-grade cryptographic practices to deter unauthorized network access and operates independently without requiring an external bridge or hub.
The latest version is called the Ultion Nuki Plus Matter edition, standing out with more than just support for Matter. The new edition also introduces a “three-star Euro cylinder lock” featuring a newly designed Lockdown Mode. This feature is activated in response to any forced entry attempt, further solidifying the lock’s security. Ultion is backing its product with a £2000 security guarantee, expressing confidence that their Police Preferred Lock can withstand any forced breach attempt.
For existing users wishing to upgrade to this Matter edition, a physical replacement of the old lock is necessary, since these enhancements are not achievable through software updates. The new smart lock is available for pre-order at £379 directly from Ultion’s online platform. Discounts may be available for current owners of Nuki or Nuki Plus. Conveniently, accessories such as fingerprint keypads and Bluetooth key fobs are compatible with the new edition, eliminating the need for purchasing additional components.
Those seeking a less expensive option might consider the 4th-generation Nuki Plus Smart Lock Pro, priced under £300, which also offers Matter-over-WiFi capabilities for smartphone remote access.
For anyone interested in securing their home with the latest integration of smart technology and robust security, the Ultion Nuki Plus Matter edition presents a compelling option, reflecting the next step in smart home innovation.
