I have the same 4.0.37 So once again, I turned off wifi in nuki app, wifi and bluetooth in mobile phone.i was able to lock and unlock the door in the homey app. Then it should be Matter over thread. Maybe someone with nuki pro 4 will try it as well ---

That wasn’t entirely clear to me. He just said he has thread network in Homey, which is of course correct. ---

After revisiting the current setup, as posted above, you will see that my Homey has configured the Thread network for the Nuki 4. Can you still open the Nuki via Bluetooth? Yes, you can. If you don’t have Thread, Homey Pro, or a hub like a mini iPod or Apple TV, you can still set up the Nuki via your Homekit, which also works via Thread or Wifi. Compatible Hub =\> Homey Pro I know that these people from Nuki Support do not always have the right info, and you might get outdated info. The screenshot I have posted above should be sufficient as evidence of how my Nuki is connected. ---

If so, this is great and Nuki people are just poor in communication. I want to replace one of my old Smart Lock with the new one but the basic 4 not the Pro one. Since there is no built-in WiFi like the Pro, the only option is to use Matter over Thread but I was waiting the proper firmware to be available. Is the battery level reported in Homey? ---

You also have to know that not all cards are available at the moment. I think with nuki app you had more cards. Then cards just 2 ![1000033896](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/2/4286d7e36f81fde7f617153813dccf8c194df828.jpeg) ---

You can’t configure anything at the moment. It’s not like in the nuki app. Yes pull the latch is missing. According to my info, it will come later. Hopefully athom will add it. Matter in this moment knows only locked and unlocked. ---

I have just a response of the Nuki Support for this question of Tread upgrade which is Not Release now but comes in 2024. It says that this only belongs to the Nuki App to Control the Nuki remote. If you have a Smarthome Hub that already supports Thread and matter you can use the new Standard Nuki 4 just now. You can then Open via homey app if you are not at Home but Not with the Nuki app! Therefor you will still need the Bridge untill this update will come in the next months. you get a code if you now upgrade and this will unlock this upgrade if it is released. But this Upgrade is only for using the native Nuki app. Here my Email from nuki (sorry, it is in german. You have to use Google translator perhaps) > **Marcel** (Nuki) 29. Jan. 2024, 16:03 MEZ > Hallo Philipp, > vielen Dank, dass du den Nuki-Support kontaktiert hast. > Wenn dein Smarthome Hub Matter via Thread unterstützt, kannst du das Smart Lock 4te Generation über Matter in deine Smarthome App einfügen. > Der Fernzugriff, der bei dem Upgradeprogramm bereits inkludiert ist, und ansonsten über eine einmalige Zahlung nachbestellt werden muss, bezieht sich dabei lediglich auf den Fernzugriff aus der Nuki App. Bis dies in Zukunft freigeschaltet wird, brauchst du für den Fernzugriff in der Nuki App weiterhin die Bridge. > Beim Upgradeprogramm erhältst du einen Aktivierungscode, mit dem du dies später aktivieren kannst, sobald verfügbar. > In der Zwischenzeit wird ein Fernzugriff über deine Smarthome App bereits möglich sein.

So the pull latch also was not enabled with the 10.3.0-rc7? That’s a shame because the functionailty is part of Matter 1.2. Did anyone get word from the Homey Support when this will he added roughly? Also if you only use the Nuki with Matter over Thread and Homey, is the Nuki Lock still able to receive Firmware updates? ---

When you use the open command, it does both things pull and latch. ---

I have also the Nuki App, and I noticed that the firmware was updated recently without my knowledge. ![IMG_2692](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/6/26d030c099c034dc7ab2f21e0c332bd2563ebdd2.png) ---

Do you also have your Lock connected to your Wifi? Because on Nukis Homepage it’s listed that the Pro version should support Wifi without a bridge, so I kind of would expect that to be able to update itself. I’m more interested in the non-Pro version if Firmware updates work for that (or Pro Version without having a Wifi connection). **EDIT:** But I guess updating the Locks via Bluetooth + Smartphone app should always be possible ---

Last time I tried I could only choose unlock /lock. The unlock option also opens the door. So actually the only unlock without opening is missing. In the current nuki app you can choose in the advanced options if you want opening of the door or not. It feels safer without because you can also easily open the door by accident now in the homey app. The nuki app lets you confirm explicitly if you are out of range. In my flows I only use locking and unlocking (for example locking when leaving/at night, and unlocking in the morning when near the door, without opening). ---

Anyone experience with the Smart Lock (non-pro) 4 connected via Matter to Homey? Can someone say anything about the functionality? Are they the same after buying the firmware update (49 euro) as the Pro version? ---

Hi Werner, Pls take a look at [this topic](https://community.homey.app/t/20-korting-op-alles-van-nuki/106259). Me and Robert bought a SmartLock 4 (non-pro), and as we discovered, Matter already worked without unlocking it for €49 😬 Maybe it still is sold like that! But I would’ve bought the Pro for €50 extra, instead of a non-pro-with‐a-Matter-unlock-fee-of-€50 We both do not use the lock with Homey Pro, but with Home Assistant. It _should_ work fine on the Pro 2023 though, the only functionality for now is lock & unlock, and (probably) battery level. Robert got the experimental ‘open the door’ functionality working, so it should be available @ Homey one day, when Homey Matter starts to support it. ![Screenshot_20240520-181417_Nuki](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/0/507c51f1965fae63f640818300d04c956eba7ccc.jpeg) The pro version additionally has onboard Wifi, rechargeable battery pack, 5V charge connector (can be connected permanently), _and somewhat fancier looks_ ![Screenshot_20240520-175756_Chrome](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/8/5860fe9be4174066b335828c00e92ee862ac0e61.jpeg) ---
