Due to lack of time, this plugin will no longer be maintained. There are great plugins available for the Nuki ecosystem, such as homebridge-nukiio or homebridge-nb, which provide a richer feature set and great support by the authors.
This project is a homebridge plugin for Nuki devices.
The device information is loaded from the local Nuki Bridge, therefore you just have to specify an API token for communication with the Nuki Bridge.
The Nuki Bridge is exposed as a switch for rebooting (optional).
The Nuki SmartLock is exposed as a lock in HomeKit with support for:
Optionally, a second switch is shown in the lock that represents the latch.
The Nuki Opener is exposed as a lock in HomeKit with support for:
Optionally, the following switches are exposed:
Optionally, you can get doorbell notificaions for the Opener.
The plugin is optimized for usage of the Home app in iOS 13, i.e. a separate accessory is exposed for RTO and continuous mode switches.
Install the plugin via npm:
npm install homebridge-nuki -gYou have to enable the HTTP API on the Nuki Bridge:
Important: If you already use other software to communicate with the Nuki Bridge, or you changed the host name or port of this plugin, make sure that there is at least one free slot for the callback registration (which is used to get notifications from the Nuki Bridge). To list all registered callbacks, make an HTTP GET request to http://<BRIDGE-IP-ADDRESS>:8080/callback/list?token=<BRIDGE-API-TOKEN>. The Nuki Bridge only allows 3 registered callback adresses. If there is no free slot, remove a registered callback by sending an HTTP GET to http://<BRIDGE-IP-ADDRESS>:8080/callback/remove?id=<CALLBACK-ID>&token=<BRIDGE-API-TOKEN>.
Start homebridge with the plugin installed, however, do not provide any devices in the devices array. The plugin will print out all devices with their name, type and corresponding nukiId.

}hostNameOrIpAddress: The IP address or host name of the device you run the plugin on. This information is required to register a callback for notifications.
hostCallbackApiPort (optional): The port that is opened on the device you runt the plugin on. Defaults to 40506, please change this setting of the port is already in use.
bridgeIpAddress: The IP address of your Nuki Bridge.
bridgeApiPort (optional): The port on which the API runs on your Nuki Bridge. Defaults to 8080, please change this setting if you use a different port on the Nuki Bridge for the API.
bridgeApiToken: The token for communication with the Bridge API. Can be configured in the Nuki App.
bridgeRebootSwitch: If set to true, the Nuki Bridge is exposed as a switch for rebooting.
devices: Array of all your Nuki devices that the plugin should expose.
nukiId: The ID of the device (provide as number, not as string).
isDoorSensorEnabled: If set to true, a contact snesor is exposed for the door state. (only for SmartLock)
isRingToOpenEnabled: If set to true, a switch is exposed for the ring-to-open function. (only for Opener)
isContinuousModeEnabled: If set to true, a switch is exposed for the continuous mode. (only for Opener)
isDoorbellEnabled: If set to true, you get doorbell notifications via the Apple Home app. (only for Opener)
suppressDoorbellOnRingToOpen: If set to true, you do not get doorbell notifications via the Apple Home app when ring-to-open is enabled. (only for Opener)
suppressDoorbellInContinuousMode: If set to true, you do not get doorbell notifications via the Apple Home app when continuous mode is enabled. (only for Opener)
isSingleAccessoryModeEnabled: By default, the ring-to-open and continuous mode switches are placed in a separate accessory (Opener only, works best in the Apple Home app), and the lock and door sensor are also played in a separate accessory (SmartLock only). If this value is set to true, those services are all exposed in a single accessory.
unlatchFromLockedToUnlocked: If set to true, the door is unlatched when you switch from "locked" to "unlocked" in the Home app. If set to false, the door is just unlocked when you switch from "locked" to "unlocked" in the Home app. (only for SmartLock)
unlatchFromUnlockedToUnlocked: If set to true, the door is unlatched when you switch from "unlocked" to "unlocked" [1] in the Home app (this move is valid and works in the Home app, just hold down the switch, swipe it to "locked" and then "unlocked" without releasing your finger - do not release the finger until you reached the "unlocked" position again). If set to false, nothing is done when you switch from "unlocked" to "unlocked" in the Home app. [2] (only for SmartLock)
lockFromLockedToLocked: If set to true, the door can be locked again if the lock is already locked (e.g. 360 degree to 720 degree). (only for SmartLock)
unlatchLock: If set to true, a second lock switch is exposed for unlatching the smart lock. (only for SmartLock)
unlatchLockPreventUnlatchIfLocked: If set to true, the second lock (unlatchLock has to be true) can only operate if the SmartLock is unlocked. (only for SmartLock)
leaveOpen (optional): If set to true, the opener don't lock the accessory in HomeKit automatically after it has been set to "unlock". Use this parameter only if you want to set the "lock" state by an automation. (only for Opener)
defaultLockName (optional): Lets you customize the name of the lock mechanism. Useful for the Alexa plugin, which does not detect changes of service names in HomeKit. Defaults to Lock. (only for SmartLock)
defaultLatchName (optional): Lets you customize the name of the unlatch mechanism. Useful for the Alexa plugin, which does not detect changes of service names in HomeKit. Defaults to Latch. (only for SmartLock)
isApiEnabled (optional): Enables an HTTP API for controlling devices. Defaults to false. See API for more information.
apiPort (optional): The port that the API (if enabled) runs on. Defaults to 40011, please change this setting of the port is already in use.
apiToken (optional): The token that has to be included in each request of the API. Is required if the API is enabled and has no default value.
This plugin also provides an HTTP API to control some features of the Nuki devices. It has been created so that you can further automate the system with HomeKit shortcuts. Starting with iOS 13, you can use shortcuts for HomeKit automation. Those automations that are executed on the HomeKit coordinator (i.e. iPad, AppleTV or HomePod) also support HTTP requests, which means you can lock your Nuki devices (e.g. when leaving home) without the security question. WARNING: This plugin only exposes the lock action as an API action, as the unlock action could potentially open your door if you made mistakes in the shortcuts.
If the API is enabled, it can be reached at the specified port on the host of this plugin.
http://<YOUR-HOST-IP-ADDRESS>:<apiPort>The token has to be specified as value of the Authorization header on each request:
Authorization: <YOUR-TOKEN>Use the devices/<NUKI-ID>/<PROPERTY-NAME> endpoint to retrieve a single value of a device. The HTTP method has to be GET:
http://<YOUR-HOST-IP-ADDRESS>:<apiPort>/devices/<NUKI-ID>/<PROPERTY-NAME>The response is a plain text response (easier to handle in HomeKit shortcuts), the following property names are supported:
locked, unlocked, unlatched, jammed)Use the devices/<NUKI-ID> endpoint to retrieve all values of a device. The HTTP method has to be GET:
http://<YOUR-HOST-IP-ADDRESS>:<apiPort>/devices/<NUKI-ID>The response is a JSON object containing all values:
{
"state": "locked"
}Use the devices/<NUKI-ID> endpoint to set values of a device. The HTTP method has to be POST:
http://<YOUR-HOST-IP-ADDRESS>:<apiPort>/devices/<NUKI-ID>The body of the request has to be JSON containing the new values:
{
"<PROPERTY-NAME>": <VALUE>
}The following property names are supported:
locked to lock the door)[1] Also works with Siri, you can ask to unlock devices that are already unlocked.
[2] If you use this mode of operation, the separate unlatchLock is not really necessary. Use unlatchFromLockedToUnlocked: true, unlatchFromUnlockedToUnlocked: true and unlatchLock: false to mimic the HomeKit behavior of the lock.
