Nuki has announced European availability of its €359 Smart Module, which connects to compatible electromechanical door locks and is installed out of sight. The company also introduced a €179 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 announced European availability of its €359 Smart Module, a concealed product that connects to compatible electromechanical door locks rather than attaching visibly to the inside of a door. The company also introduced a white Keypad 2 NFC and a Theft Detection feature for the keypad range, including a low-cost retrofit option for owners of the black model.
The Smart Module is designed to connect directly to compatible motorised locks and automatic door openers. It can be built into doors during manufacture or installed in an existing property by an authorised Nuki Pro Partner. For a retrofit, Nuki says the hardware can sit inside a standard flush-mounted electrical box. Unlike the company’s battery-powered retrofit locks, the module uses a permanent power supply, so it does not require battery changes or recharging.
Nuki says the module incorporates technology from its fifth-generation smart locks, including Matter support. The company lists Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings as supported platforms. Users can also access Nuki app features such as remote control, Auto Unlock and digital access permissions. The module is compatible with Nuki accessories, including keypads that support PIN codes, fingerprints and NFC-based Tap to Unlock. Nuki has partnered with REHAU Window Solutions to support integration into door manufacturing.
The Keypad 2 NFC White Edition retains the black model’s three unlocking methods: NFC Tap to Unlock, fingerprint recognition and PIN entry. Nuki says the white version will initially be sold in limited quantities to Nuki Club members before going on sale through its regular online store. The recommended retail price is €179. Nuki’s announcement does not give a date for wider availability.
Theft Detection uses a sensor in the keypad’s battery compartment to detect movement or removal. When enabled, detection triggers a user notification and adds an event to the activity log. Nuki says the feature also blocks keypad-based unlocking, resetting and pairing with another Nuki product after detection. If movement was legitimate, the keypad can be restored to normal operation by authenticating with a registered fingerprint or PIN. Existing black Keypad 2 NFC owners can add the sensor by replacing the battery compartment cover, priced at €4.90; they do not need to buy a new keypad.
A Concealed Option for Motorised Doors
The Smart Module gives Nuki a way to offer its connected-lock features in doors that already use compatible electromechanical hardware, as well as in new doors designed for integration. Its concealed installation differs from the company’s familiar retrofit locks, which mount on the interior side of an existing door. That may make the module relevant to homeowners choosing a new door and to properties where visible interior hardware is not desired, although compatibility and installation requirements will determine who can use it.
Permanent power removes the need to recharge or replace batteries in the module itself. Matter support also connects the product to several major smart-home platforms, according to Nuki. The keypad changes address a different need: a finish option for lighter entrances and a way to add a movement alert to installed Keypad 2 NFC units without replacing the whole device. Nuki has not described Theft Detection as a guarantee against theft or unauthorized entry; it is a sensor-based alert and keypad lockout feature.

From March Announcement to Availability
Nuki first announced the Smart Module in March 2026, presenting it as an alternative to its visible, battery-powered retrofit smart locks. The November announcement marks its availability in Europe. Customers can obtain it as part of an integrated door solution from participating manufacturers or as a standalone product through authorised Nuki Pro Partners and Nuki’s online store.
The company’s installation model differs by setting: manufacturers can incorporate the module during door production, while retrofit installations in existing properties are intended for authorised partners. Nuki identifies electricians and system integrators as examples of those partners. Its work with REHAU Window Solutions is intended to help door manufacturers incorporate the technology into their production processes. The announcement lists recommended retail prices in euros and does not provide specific availability information for markets outside Europe.
“The Smart Module is available now across Europe.”

Compatibility and Rollout Details
Nuki’s announcement does not name every compatible lock mechanism or door model, so buyers will need to confirm that their hardware can work with the module. It also does not give installation costs, the time required for a retrofit or a full list of participating door manufacturers. Those details could affect the total cost and availability for people with existing doors.
The company has not announced a date for the white keypad’s general online-store release or specific availability outside Europe. The source material also does not specify whether Theft Detection requires an app update, which Nuki app versions support it, or when the white model will be available in larger quantities. No independent testing or performance results for the detection feature are included in the announcement.
European Sales and Wider Release
Customers in Europe can currently seek the Smart Module through participating door manufacturers, authorised Nuki Pro Partners or Nuki’s online store at a recommended retail price of €359. Those considering a retrofit should first check lock compatibility and contact an authorised installer. Nuki says the white Keypad 2 NFC will reach its regular online store after its initial limited Nuki Club release, but has not provided a timetable.
Owners of the black Keypad 2 NFC can look for the replacement sensor-equipped battery cover at the stated €4.90 price. Nuki has not said when the product will be available in additional markets or provided further dates for the white keypad rollout. Availability, installation options and any market-specific details remain subject to later company updates.
