Best smart lock for openhab

That’s depending on so much parameters, I think it’s nothing merely a best guess:

  • how many key turns you use
  • do you only use Nuki - even if the lock isn’t closed to open the latch every time you open
  • how often you use it anyways
  • how “easy” the key moves in the lock
  • how far away either the BT-bridge/ESP32 or the WiFi Router/Repeater is
  • which batteries are used (“normal” AAs or the Nuki-built LiIon block)

my Nuki3-lock (BT-only) with Nuki battery block lasted around max 2months (promised was one year) until I changed from the bridge to the ESP32-NukiHub in december - you can see the extremely more flattened curve since:
