Nuki has made its Smart Module available in Europe for €359, offering concealed smart access for compatible electromechanical locks. The company also introduced a white Keypad 2 NFC for €179 and Theft Detection for keypad models, including a €4.90 sensor cover for existing black units.
Austrian smart-lock maker Nuki has announced European availability of its Smart Module, a concealed access-control device for compatible electromechanical door locks, and introduced a white version of its Keypad 2 NFC with a theft-detection feature. The module costs €359; the white keypad is priced at €179, while owners of the existing black keypad can add the theft-detection sensor for €4.90.
Unlike Nuki’s retrofit Smart Lock products, which attach to the inside of a door, the Smart Module connects directly to a compatible motorised locking mechanism or automatic door opener. It can be incorporated during door manufacturing or fitted to an existing door by an authorised Nuki Pro Partner. For retrofit work, the device can sit in a standard flush-mounted electrical box. Nuki says it uses a permanent power supply, so it does not need batteries or periodic recharging.
The module includes technology from Nuki’s fifth-generation smart locks and supports Matter, the smart-home connectivity standard. Nuki lists Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and Samsung SmartThings among the platforms it can work with. The company also says users can access features through its app, including remote control, Auto Unlock and digital access permissions. Compatible Nuki accessories, including keypads for PIN, fingerprint and NFC unlocking, can also be used with the system.
Nuki’s second announcement is a White Edition of Keypad 2 NFC, which retains NFC-based Tap to Unlock, fingerprint recognition and PIN entry. It is initially being offered in limited quantities to Nuki Club members, with wider sales planned later through the company’s online store. Theft Detection applies to the black and white models. Nuki says an included sensor detects movement or removal, sends a notification and records the event in the activity log. The feature is intended to prevent keypad operation, device resetting or pairing with another Nuki product after a detection event.
Concealed Access for Compatible Doors
The Smart Module gives Nuki a product option for doors where an interior-mounted retrofit lock is not wanted or does not fit the installation. By connecting to the door’s electromechanical locking hardware, it can provide app and smart-home access while keeping the smart-lock electronics out of view. That design may be relevant to new door production as well as renovations, although the product works only with compatible locking systems and is not presented as a universal replacement for existing locks.
The permanent power supply also distinguishes the module from battery-powered retrofit devices: owners do not have to recharge or replace its batteries. Its Matter support may make it easier to use the lock alongside products from several smart-home platforms. However, Nuki’s stated compatibility does not establish that every feature works identically across every platform; the company’s specific feature support and installation conditions remain relevant to buyers.
The keypad update addresses a separate concern. A movement alert and post-detection restrictions could make a keypad more resistant to tampering or removal, according to Nuki. Existing black-model owners can access the feature by replacing the battery compartment cover rather than buying a new keypad, at the stated €4.90 recommended retail price.

From March Announcement to Availability
Nuki first announced the Smart Module in March 2026. The November announcement moves the device from an earlier product announcement to availability in Europe. Nuki says it can be bought as part of an integrated door solution from participating manufacturers or as a standalone product through authorised Pro Partners and the Nuki online store.
The company has partnered with REHAU Window Solutions to support integration into door manufacturing. That arrangement points to a route for including the module during production, while authorised installers provide another route for compatible doors already in use. The source report does not give a list of supported lock systems or participating door models.
The Keypad 2 NFC was released earlier in 2026, according to the source report. Its white edition keeps the existing model’s three stated entry methods, while Theft Detection is being added to the keypad range. Prices cited by Nuki are recommended retail prices in euros: €359 for the Smart Module, €179 for the white keypad and €4.90 for the replacement sensor-equipped cover.

Compatibility and Market Details
Nuki has not provided specific availability information for markets outside Europe, so the launch timing and pricing elsewhere are unclear. The announcement also does not name every compatible electromechanical lock, door model or automatic opener, nor does the source report provide a complete list of participating manufacturers and installers. Buyers will need to confirm compatibility and installation options with Nuki or an authorised partner.
The source material does not specify when the white keypad will move beyond limited Nuki Club sales, or how broadly the theft-detection cover will be stocked. It also does not detail the sensor’s detection thresholds, how alerts behave without an internet connection, or the precise recovery steps beyond authenticating with a registered fingerprint or PIN. Those operating details should not be inferred from the feature description.
Sales Rollout and Installations
The Smart Module is available now in Europe through participating integrated-door manufacturers, authorised Nuki Pro Partners and Nuki’s online store, according to the announcement. Prospective buyers can check whether their locking mechanism is supported and whether their installation requires a partner before purchasing. The company has not announced a date for availability outside Europe.
Nuki says the white Keypad 2 NFC will first be sold in limited quantities to Nuki Club members, with broader online-store availability planned later. No date for that wider release was provided. Existing black keypad owners can purchase the replacement battery compartment cover to add the Theft Detection sensor; Nuki’s announcement does not state whether a software update or app setting is also required to activate the feature.
Key Questions
What is the Nuki Smart Module?
It is a concealed device that connects to compatible electromechanical door locks, including motorised locks and automatic door openers, to add Nuki smart-access functions. It is designed for integration during door production or installation in an existing compatible door.
How much does the Smart Module cost?
Nuki’s recommended retail price is €359. The company says it is available in Europe through participating door manufacturers, authorised Nuki Pro Partners and its online store.
What does Keypad 2 NFC Theft Detection do?
Nuki says a sensor detects movement or removal of the keypad, then sends an alert and records the event in the activity log. After detection, the company says the keypad cannot be used to operate the lock, reset the device or pair it with another Nuki product until access is restored through registered fingerprint or PIN authentication.
Can existing black Keypad 2 NFC owners get Theft Detection?
Yes. Nuki is offering a sensor-equipped replacement battery compartment cover for existing black models at a recommended retail price of €4.90, so owners do not need to replace the whole keypad.
When will the white keypad be widely available?
The White Edition is initially available in limited quantities to Nuki Club members. Nuki says wider availability through its online store is planned, but has not announced a date.
