Nuki has begun selling its Smart Module in Europe, a concealed, permanently powered smart-access device for compatible electromechanical door locks, priced at €359. The company also introduced a white Keypad 2 NFC for €179 and a €4.90 sensor-equipped cover that adds Theft Detection to existing black models.
Nuki has made its Smart Module available in Europe, offering a concealed, permanently powered way to add smart access to compatible electromechanical door locks. The Austrian company also announced a white Keypad 2 NFC and a Theft Detection feature for both keypad colors, including an inexpensive cover upgrade for existing black models.
The €359 Smart Module connects directly to compatible motorised locking systems and automatic door openers rather than attaching visibly to the inside of a door like Nuki’s conventional retrofit smart locks. It can be incorporated during door production or installed in an existing property by an authorised Nuki Pro Partner. For retrofit work, the module can fit inside a standard flush-mounted electrical box. Nuki says the device uses a permanent power supply, so it does not need batteries or periodic recharging.
The module draws on technology from Nuki’s fifth-generation smart locks, including Matter support for integration with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings. Through the Nuki app, users can access features such as remote control, Auto Unlock and digital access permissions. Compatible Nuki keypads can add PIN, fingerprint and NFC-based Tap to Unlock access. Nuki has partnered with REHAU Window Solutions to support manufacturers incorporating the module into door production.
The Keypad 2 NFC White Edition retains the black model’s NFC, fingerprint and PIN unlocking options and carries a recommended price of €179. It is initially being offered in limited quantities to Nuki Club members, with broader online-store availability planned later. Theft Detection uses a sensor in the keypad’s battery compartment to detect movement or removal. Nuki says a detected event prompts a notification and an activity-log entry, while blocking keypad operation, device reset and pairing with another Nuki product until an owner authenticates with a registered fingerprint or PIN.
Owners of the existing black Keypad 2 NFC do not need to buy a new keypad to get the feature. Nuki is selling a replacement battery compartment cover with the sensor for €4.90. The quoted prices are manufacturer-recommended retail prices in euros. The Smart Module is available through participating door manufacturers, authorised Nuki Pro Partners and Nuki’s online store in Europe.
A Concealed Route to Smart Access
The Smart Module gives households and door manufacturers another option beyond a visible, battery-powered retrofit lock. Because it is designed to sit within the door installation and draw permanent power, it may suit new doors or properties already fitted with compatible motorised locking systems. It also brings Matter-compatible smart-home controls to those installations, including access through major platforms named by Nuki.
The keypad changes address a different concern: access and device security at the entrance. The white finish offers a color alternative, while the sensor upgrade extends Theft Detection to owners of existing black units without requiring them to replace the keypad. The low-cost cover makes that upgrade more accessible, though Nuki’s description does not establish how the detection feature performs under every real-world circumstance.

From March Announcement to Sale
Nuki first announced the Smart Module in March 2026, describing it as an alternative to its existing retrofit smart locks. The new device is intended to be installed inside compatible electromechanical door systems rather than mounted on a door’s interior surface. Its availability now marks the move from announcement to sales in Europe.
The company’s existing Keypad 2 NFC, released earlier in 2026, combines three methods for unlocking compatible Nuki locks: NFC-based Tap to Unlock, fingerprint recognition and PIN entry. The November announcement adds a white finish and theft-related sensing to that product line. Nuki says the white version will first be sold in limited quantities to Nuki Club members; the sensor cover is the route for black-model owners who want Theft Detection.
“The Smart Module is designed to integrate smart access functionality directly into compatible electromechanical door locks.”
— Nuki, as described in the Homekit News and Reviews report
Compatibility and Overseas Sales
Nuki’s announcement, as reported by Homekit News and Reviews, does not specify availability outside Europe. It also does not list particular door models or locking systems that are compatible with the Smart Module, so prospective buyers will need to check compatibility with Nuki, a participating door manufacturer or an authorised installer. The company has not supplied a schedule for when the white keypad will reach its regular online store beyond saying wider availability is planned.
The Theft Detection details come from Nuki’s product description. The available information does not explain the sensor’s detection thresholds, the full notification conditions or how the feature behaves in every situation. No independent testing or performance figures are included in the source report. Buyers should also distinguish the keypad’s detection of movement or removal from a broader claim that it prevents theft of the device.
Sales and Wider Keypad Release
The Smart Module is on sale now in Europe through Nuki’s online store and authorised Pro Partners, and participating manufacturers can offer it as part of an integrated door solution. People considering installation in an existing property can contact an authorised partner to check whether their motorised lock is compatible and what installation involves.
The next stated product milestone is wider availability of the White Keypad 2 NFC through Nuki’s regular online store after its limited Nuki Club release. Owners of black Keypad 2 NFC units can purchase the sensor-equipped replacement cover at the listed €4.90 price. Nuki has not given a date for the broader white-keypad release or specific plans for markets outside Europe.
Key Questions
What is the Nuki Smart Module?
It is a concealed smart-access device that connects to compatible electromechanical door locks, including motorised locks and automatic door openers. Unlike Nuki’s conventional retrofit locks, it is installed within the door setup rather than mounted visibly on the interior.
How much does the Smart Module cost?
Nuki lists a recommended retail price of €359. It is available in Europe through participating door manufacturers, authorised Nuki Pro Partners and the Nuki online store.
What does Theft Detection do on Keypad 2 NFC?
A sensor in the battery compartment detects movement or removal, according to Nuki. The company says the event triggers a notification and activity-log entry and prevents keypad operation, reset or pairing until the owner authenticates with a registered fingerprint or PIN.
Can an existing black keypad get Theft Detection?
Yes. Owners of the black Keypad 2 NFC can buy a replacement battery compartment cover with the sensor for a recommended €4.90, rather than replacing the complete keypad.
Where and when will the white keypad be available?
The €179 White Edition is initially available in limited quantities to Nuki Club members. Nuki says it plans to offer the model through its regular online store later but has not provided a date or details for sales outside Europe.
