Nuki says its Smart Module is now available in Europe for €359, offering concealed smart access for compatible electromechanical door locks. The company also announced a white Keypad 2 NFC and Theft Detection for both keypad colors; existing black-model owners can add the feature with a €4.90 replacement battery cover.
Austrian smart-lock maker Nuki has launched its Smart Module in Europe, a concealed system designed to add app-based smart access to compatible electromechanical door locks. Alongside it, Nuki introduced a white Keypad 2 NFC and Theft Detection for the keypad range, giving owners of existing black models an upgrade option without replacing the whole keypad.
The Smart Module connects directly to compatible motorised locks and automatic door openers, rather than attaching visibly to the inside of a door like Nuki’s retrofit Smart Lock products. It can be built into new doors or installed in some existing properties. Nuki says retrofit work can be carried out by an authorised Nuki Pro Partner, with the module housed in a standard flush-mounted electrical box. The device uses a permanent power supply and does not need batteries or periodic recharging.
Nuki lists the Smart Module at a recommended retail price of €359. It is available through the company’s online store and authorised Pro Partners, as well as in integrated door solutions from participating manufacturers. Nuki has partnered with REHAU Window Solutions to support integration into door production. The company has not specified availability outside Europe.
The Smart Module incorporates technology from Nuki’s fifth-generation smart locks and supports Matter, which the company says enables connection with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings. Through the Nuki app, users can access features including remote control, Auto Unlock and digital access permissions. Compatible Nuki accessories, including keypads, can provide PIN, fingerprint and NFC-based unlocking methods.
The Keypad 2 NFC White Edition retains the black model’s NFC Tap to Unlock, fingerprint recognition and PIN entry. It is priced at €179 and is initially being offered in limited quantities to Nuki Club members; broader online-store availability is planned later. Nuki has not given a date for that wider release.
A Concealed Route to Smart Access
The Smart Module gives Nuki a product for doors where a visible interior-mounted retrofit lock is not wanted or is not suitable. Integrating the hardware into a compatible electromechanical lock could make smart access an option during door manufacture as well as in some existing installations. That distinction matters to homeowners, builders and installers comparing a retrofit device with a system designed to sit within the door setup.
Matter support may also make the module more useful to households that manage devices across different smart-home platforms. Nuki says the lock can connect with four major ecosystems, but real-world compatibility depends on the specific lock installation and connected devices. The permanent power supply removes battery replacement for the module itself, though the source does not describe the power arrangements of every compatible door system.
The keypad changes are smaller but practical for current Nuki customers. The white finish offers another appearance option, while the low-cost sensor cover means owners of a black Keypad 2 NFC can add the new detection feature without buying another keypad. Nuki’s stated Theft Detection protections could also limit what someone can do with a keypad after it has been moved or removed.

From March Announcement to Availability
Nuki first announced the Smart Module in March 2026, describing it as an alternative to its conventional retrofit smart locks. The November report says the module is now available in Europe, both through door manufacturers and as a standalone product. It is aimed at installations with compatible motorised locking systems, not every standard door lock.
The Keypad 2 NFC was released earlier in 2026 in black. The new white version retains the existing unlocking methods, while Theft Detection is being added to the range. For black-model owners, Nuki offers a replacement battery compartment cover containing the sensor required for the feature, priced at €4.90. The stated prices are manufacturer-recommended euro prices.

Compatibility and Rollout Details
Nuki’s announcement does not identify every compatible lock or door configuration, so prospective buyers will need to confirm suitability with the company or an authorised Pro Partner. The report also does not provide installation costs, delivery timelines for individual orders, or a schedule for broader availability of the white keypad. Availability beyond Europe has not been specified.
The company describes Theft Detection as limiting keypad operation, device resets and pairing after movement is detected. The source does not provide technical testing, independent verification or details about how the sensor distinguishes theft from ordinary handling. The feature must be enabled, and Nuki says a legitimate move can be cleared by authenticating with a registered fingerprint or PIN.
Sales and Wider Keypad Release
European customers can check the Smart Module through Nuki’s online store, authorised Pro Partners and participating door manufacturers. Anyone considering installation should first confirm that their door’s electromechanical locking system is compatible and establish what work the installation requires.
Nuki says the white Keypad 2 NFC will move from its limited Nuki Club release to the regular online store, but has not announced a date. Owners of black Keypad 2 NFC units can purchase the sensor-equipped replacement cover for €4.90. Further information about international availability and the broader keypad rollout has not been provided.
Key Questions
What is the Nuki Smart Module?
It is a smart-access system that connects to compatible electromechanical locks and automatic door openers. Unlike Nuki’s retrofit Smart Lock, it is concealed within the door installation or a flush-mounted electrical box.
How much does the Smart Module cost?
Nuki lists the Smart Module at a recommended retail price of €359. It is available in Europe through the company’s online store, authorised Pro Partners and participating door manufacturers.
What does Keypad 2 NFC Theft Detection do?
Nuki says a sensor in the battery compartment detects movement or removal. When enabled, detection sends a notification, adds an entry to the activity log and restricts keypad functions. A registered fingerprint or PIN can restore normal operation after legitimate movement.
Can owners of the black Keypad 2 NFC get Theft Detection?
Yes. Nuki offers a replacement battery compartment cover with the required sensor for €4.90, so owners do not need to replace the entire keypad.
When will the white keypad be widely available?
The White Edition, priced at €179, is initially available in limited quantities to Nuki Club members. Nuki plans wider availability through its online store but has not announced a date.
