Night mode – more security while you sleep

This article concerns:
  • Smart Lock
  • Smart Door

With the Night mode your Smart Lock or Smart Door locks automatically. You can define an individual time period for the Night mode. During this period, the energy saving mode of the device is activated and the door is locked twice (720°).

Night Mode

Setting a time frame

You can configure your Night mode in your Nuki App. Tap on your device and go to "Settings" > “Features & Configuration” > "Night mode". Here, you can set a time frame that suits your individual needs.

Your door is locked twice (720°)

Your door will always be locked twice (720°) during the selected period. With this Nuki provides even more security for your home.

Your door is locked automatically

At the beginning of the Night mode, your Nuki device locks your door automatically. You can see this activity as 'Scheduled' in the Activity log. If you do not want your door to be locked, simply disable “Lock at Start Time” in the Night mode settings.

Smart Lock Ultra: Gentle locking mode is activated

The Smart Lock Ultra comes with three locking speed modes: Insane, Standard, and Gentle. During Night Mode, Gentle Mode is activated. This mode locks the door slower and with reduced noise. If you do not want Gentle mote activated, simply disable "Gentle locking speed" in the Night mode settings.

Auto Unlock is rejected

If the Night mode is active, your Smart Lock or Smart Door rejects all Auto Unlocks. During the selected period your door cannot be opened automatically. Auto Unlocks that are rejected because of the Night mode, are displayed in the Activity log as “Rejected”. If you do not want your device to reject Auto Unlock, simply disable “Reject Auto Unlock” in the Night mode settings.

Auto Lock is activated

The Auto Lock feature automatically locks your door. By default it is locked 5 minutes after someone unlocked it. If you are already using Auto Lock without Night mode, the Night mode uses your preferences. If you do not want to activate Auto Lock, simply disable “Activate Auto Lock” in the Night mode settings.

Energy saving mode is activated

During active Night mode, your Nuki device automatically activates the energy saving mode. This reduces the interval in which your device communicates with the Nuki App. Therefore, less energy will be consumed. As a result, the communication with your device may take a little longer during this period.

Note:

The door will not automatically unlock at the end of the Night mode. You can activate a scheduled locking action via the Night mode settings. Simply tap “Scheduling”. Alternatively, you can go to your device settings > “Features & Configuration" > "Scheduling".
