Nuki doorlock support

[heggink]

Has anyone looked at this device?

The are a kickstarter backed project developing a lock, bridge (internet access for their android/ios app) and fob.

The bridge allows web based access to the lock(s) and has a documented API based on http/json (https://nuki.io/en/api/) so should be easy to integrate into Domoticz...

Looks good!

Just received my Nuki lock with bridge. VERY easy to install (literally 2 minutes). Easy to configure. You can tell it what type of lock you have (with/without latch/doorknob on the outside). If you just have a knob, you can configure it to unlatch the door (pull the handle) as well. It has it's own geofence (smart phone gps) to automatically unlock the door if you want.

It has its own API to access and control the lock. What is really nice is that you can tell the lock to call a URL on state change. That makes domoticz integration really simple.

Took me 2 hrs to 1) create a dummy door lock device, 2) create a couple of linux bash small script (using nc to listen on a port and jq to decode the json msgs) to act on lock state changes and update the dummy device. Works like a charm but ultimately, proper domoticz integration is the way to go but no time for now . I'll post the scripts later. If anyone wants them, pls ping.

One thing I missed was that the door lock device has no timers. I would love to close the lock automatically at night. @gizmocuz: can this be added?

This lock is a real recommender (nuki.io)! I immediately ordered one for my front door as well. Just be aware that you really, really, really need to secure domoticz once you control entry to your house via domoticz. I ONLY access my system via VPN so NO ports are accessible from outside my house.

battery device??
what if the battery are empty, and the was open??

Looks promising, and the price is not so bad...:=)
When my wife is happy, perhaps i can order 1...[ think i have to wait until the holidays ]

Do i need the bridge?
Or can i acces directly the lock?

Is there a message return option like zwave?
For when there is a manual opening of the door, Domoticz think it is lock.....Only .


Perhaps someone make a secure button in Domoticz.
You can acces all things in Domoticz normal.
Only for the secure devices you need some otherpasswor.d
I can not do this, only i think this secure button is a option..

4 penlights. The lock is bluetooth and has an API. The bridge provides a wifi interface.
The lock's motor is pretty light so using it with a regular key is very workable. If the door is open with empty batteries then just turn the key.
you can pool, switch and the lock can send state changes. My temp scripts catch all state changes in the lock and update Domo.
You can tell the bridge to call a specific html link on lock change (so no need to poll really unless domo goes down). Works really, really well so far.

Nuki now discounted:
http://domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=14815

I took the advantage to buy one device form the discounted price. Was thinking as little longer to purchase one but was not sure. I will try to operate the device via an Android Tablet near my entrance door and the Android bridge App. For sure only via VPN access to my system. At the moment for me it's totally unclear how to get the device included in my Domoticz environment. The user "heggink" has written some nice words how easy it is but I guess the scripts are the key for the success. Has somebody else some information how to include the device to Domoticz and how to control it from the WEB?
Any feedback is welcome.

Ping @heggink, I'm also looking for a Nuki, but want to integrate with my existing Domoticz setup
Do you have some more information about how you did it?
Did you make any progressions since ur last post?
thx for the information!

Hi DeNB3rt,

As mentioned, I have a couple of scrips that I use to get status updates as well as lock control. Nothing pretty but functional. No time yet to create a wiki for them unfortunately. Happy to share the scrips with a bit of a 'manual' though.

Basically, I have a programme listing on a port for lock messages (you can tell the lock to send json status updates to a specific IP/port) which updates domoticz devices (through udevice) based on a status change. These same devices call another script to open/close the lock on demand.

Once you install the lock and a bridge, you need to put the bridge in developer mode. That allows you to install the callback hook (just a curl command with the ip/port of my programme to be called on the status change).

As said, happy to share the bash scripts (they run on an pi3 ). In order to use the scrips, you need to have curl, jq and so on installed. The status update scrip get's called from cron ar startup.

Hi @heggink

Thanks for the feedback.
Sounds good, also RBP3 overhere with some curl scripts (for dimmer).
So that could be an option.

But don't have the Nuki yet, still comparing around the globe
What's your experience with the Nuki? Do you use it for the front door?

[RayAmsterdam]

I have good experience with the Nuki lock on the front door, with the Heggink scripts. I use it with the software bridge on an old Samsung smartphone. The delay of updating and commanding is a couple of seconds.

[heggink]

Still pretty happy with them myself. I lock the doors (front, side) automatically at night, everyone at home can use their phones to unlock. One of the more secure locks out there afaik.

Hi heggink , i'm interested by you're script, can you share with me or explain me because i' am no a good programmer


Thanks

[heggink]

Hi chiche102, I am currently travelling in the US (DC) so will be next week. I'll think about creating a wiki. Should make things easier.

[chiche102]

ok heggink , thanks for you're answer...
I wait you're return no problem, for the moment i use http request with a dummy switch on domoticz, not verry clean bu it's working (4 times on 6 )

Only 2 problem ith this solution :

1: sometimes, i think when you try too much http request is not working on webpage ( error 503 , thast means bridge disconnected but he is connected, 1 minutes after is good )

2 : There is no return state , so if someone else unlock the smart lock, on domoticz he stay lock ....

So i wait for you're explication

PS: Sorry my english is very poor .....

[chiche102]

i see another thing who ca be intersiting, unlock the nuki smarlock directly from the py and not from the bridge ....
But athentification between the 2 device no seems to be easy ...

I have one Nuki smart lock with bridge. It is working great. I only want to be able to automatically check the battery status because I don't like standing out in the rain without keys and drained batteries in my smartlock.

By sending this line via any browser: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/list?token=XXXXXX to the bridge you get this result:
nukiId xxxxxxxxxxx
name "Voordeur"
lastKnownState
state 3
stateName "unlocked"
batteryCritical false
timestamp "2017-09-08T13:12:38+00:00

As I have no knowledge of JSON and almost know knowledge of programming LUA, I would like to ask if anyone knows how to set this up. Any help would be appreciated.

[heggink]

First attempt to put everything on 1 page: viewtopic.php?f=56&t=19348
Let me know if it works.

[eddypoot]

Heggink,

The one thing I wanted most, checking the battery state was not in there. I saw that you have made a power supply to overcome the battery issue. That is great, I will keep it in mind. But for the time being, I will keep on searching for a way to check the battery on a daily basis.

[heggink]

Hi eddypoot,

The lock will not give you the battery %% but it will return the battery status. It would be fairly easy to not only update the status of the lock but also update the lock battery status. Sample message from the lock:

curl -s "http://IP:8080/lockState?nukiId=NUKI_ID ... IDGE_TOKEN" returns
{"state": 3, "stateName": "unlocked", "batteryCritical": false, "success": true}

You would need a separate device and a second check on the batteryCritical field.
