TL;DR
- Nuki has unveiled the Keypad 2 NFC, which uses the same secure NFC tech behind contactless payments.
- The keypad works with Apple Home Key, Samsung Digital Home Key, and Aliro-compatible wallets.
- You can pick up the keypad immediately for $179, or grab the smart lock bundle for $289.
Keys are starting to feel outdated, and Nuki is embracing that change. The company’s latest idea (teased last month) is to make your front door work more like a payment terminal: tap, unlock, and you’re in.
At the center of this push is the new Nuki Keypad 2 NFC, which lets you unlock your door without touching it, using the same Near Field Communication (NFC) technology found in tap-to-pay. If you’ve ever paid with your phone or smartwatch, you already get the idea: just hold your device near the keypad and you’re in.
