Nuki - The smart lock

Seamlessly deliver smart lock access codes to your guests via Online Check-in

Nuki Smart Hosting subscription required



Introduction

Nuki is a smart lock solution that allows property access to be managed intelligently and securely, without physical keys. Once installed on a door, Nuki smart locks allow you to create, modify, and delete remote digital access using codes or temporary authorizations.


Features

The integration of Nuki into Anywhere’s Online Check-in enables synchronization between each booking and the property’s smart lock. Each property is associated with a single Nuki lock. During online check-in, the guest accesses a dedicated step where the access information generated automatically for their booking is displayed. For each stay, Anywhere generates a Nuki access code valid only for the defined period: for example from 4:00 PM on arrival day to 11:00 AM on departure day. Property managers can also choose when the code becomes visible, such as one or two days before arrival. It is possible to add explanatory text and images above the code to guide the guest, for example by displaying building access codes before the apartment code. This integration ensures a smooth, secure, and fully automated Online Check-in experience, with precise and customized access management.

Yes. To automatically generate access codes via the Nuki API as part of Anywhere’s Online Check-in, you must have an active Nuki Smart Hosting subscription for each lock. This subscription, offered by Nuki, costs €69 per year per lock and allows the Online Check-in to communicate with the lock, create, modify, and deactivate access codes based on bookings. Anywhere does not charge any additional fees for this integration: only the subscription costs required by Nuki apply.

Yes. Access codes generated via Nuki are automatically deactivated at the end of the stay, according to the rules defined in Anywhere. The code is valid only for the authorized period (for example, until the scheduled checkout time) and becomes invalid once this period expires. This ensures maximum security, without any manual action required from the property manager, and prevents unauthorized access after the guest’s departure.

Yes. Anywhere allows you to precisely define when the access code becomes visible to the guest during Online Check-in. For example, you can choose to display the code one or two days before arrival, or at any other time you consider appropriate. This feature gives you full control over access communication, helps anticipate arrivals, and provides a smooth and secure experience from one guest to another.

Yes. Anywhere allows you to add explanatory text and images before displaying the Nuki access code during Online Check-in. This is especially useful to guide guests by providing building access codes, entry instructions, or a visual walkthrough before revealing the apartment code. This feature improves access clarity and ensures a smoother, fully autonomous arrival experience for guests.

If a booking is modified, Anywhere automatically updates the associated Nuki access settings. The validity dates and times of the access code are adjusted based on the updated stay information, with no manual intervention required from the property manager. This ensures the guest always has valid and secure access, perfectly aligned with the actual booking conditions.

If a booking is cancelled, the associated Nuki access is automatically deactivated. The access code generated for the stay becomes immediately invalid, preventing any access to the property. This process is fully automated by Anywhere, with no manual action required from the property manager, and ensures maximum security in the event of a cancellation.

Nuki offers many advantages over traditional key handover. It enables fully automated access management, without physical meetings, delays, or logistical constraints. Access codes are temporary, secure, and automatically deactivated at the end of the stay. Combined with Anywhere’s Online Check-in, Nuki significantly reduces manual operations, minimizes errors, enhances security, and provides a smooth, self-service arrival experience for guests, while saving valuable time for property managers.
