Eight years ago, smart locks were all the rage in the smart home world, and I really wanted one, but I had huge concerns about privacy and security. After a million and one searches, I landed on Nuki, an Austrian brand that makes secure and audited locks specifically for European cylinders, which is precisely what I had on my door back in Lebanon.
I decided to give it a go and was immediately blown away by how good it was. When I say that I’ve never tested a smart home product that was this good and this complete, I am not exaggerating. Every feature I thought about, every little setting or tweak I might’ve needed was there, and if it wasn’t, it got added in the next update.
