The smart home concept reaches every room in our home; and even the parts that are outside. Even if we are at the doors of our house, new technologies can help us, as Nuki has demonstrated for years with its range of smart locks connected to mobile phones.

The last product presented by the brand is somewhat different, since it is not a lock in itself; in fact, you will need a separate Nuki lock to use it (it is compatible with the Nuki Smart Lock 2.0, 3.0 and 3.0 Pro). This is the new version of the Keypad, a combination keyboard that until now allowed us to unlock the door of the house by entering a code.
Unlock the house with the fingerprint
The big novelty of the Nuki Keypad 2.0 is at the bottom, where a fingerprint reader has been added. Indeed, the future is finally here, we can now open the door of our house simply by placing our finger on the reader.
Obviously, the great advantage of this is that we don’t need keys or waste time entering a password, and the process of entering our house should be much faster and easier. Another advantage is that we can store up to 20 different fingerprints
To facilitate the use of the reader, the Keypad 2.0 has functions of machine learning, which makes it possible to increase the precision of the recognition of the fingerprints with each use. The installation is simple, since it is enough to stick it on the door or on an adjacent wall at least 5 meters from the lock; uses 4 AAA batteries which last at least 12 months.
Now, whenever we talk about a device that unlocks biometrically, security is the main concern. At Nuki they have taken measures to avoid possible thefts of codes and fingerprints; for example, this information is only stored on the device to be opened, in this case the lock. Neither the keypad stores fingerprints nor sends them over the Internet, in the end the smart lock is the only one that can authorize.
The Nuki Keypad 2.0 is already on sale in Europe with a price of 159 dollars. If the fingerprint reader is not so important to us, we also have the original keyboard available for 79 dollars, only with the keyboard for the codes.
