TL;DR
- When Nuki launched its Smart Lock in the US, in introduced a $5.90/month Nuki Premium subscription.
- Some critical connectivity features like Wi-Fi support and notifications were paywalled behind Premium.
- Nuki has now decided to do away with Premium subscriptions, instead selling the Smart Lock for a slightly higher upfront cost.
Installing a smart lock is one of those changes you don’t necessarily fully appreciate until you actually do it — being able to leave the house without carrying a set of keys is just so weirdly freeing. And if you haven’t tried it yet, now’s as good a time as any to do so. Products like Nuki’s Smart Lock make it quick and easy to add these smarts to an existing lock without needing to replace all your hardware. We’ve already been a fan of Nuki’s solutions for locks in Europe, and this past summer saw the company open its doors to US shoppers, as well — but with one key difference. And today we’ve got a critical update on that.
