Hi,
since update to v82 the Apple Watch Home App works good with the doorbel. The last time i realized a „Door unlock“ button when i opened the watch app after it is ringing.
My question is how i can get this button working and what is the main functionality for this button?
In my case it would be great to use this button to open the Nuki lock after i checked who is in front of my door e.g. for familiy or friends!
Is this possible and does someone get this button working?
Regards,
smartdoc

Re: Open door through Apple Watch Home App after ringing
If you have a Nuki lock in the same "room" in Homekit, it should work. Works great here, I use it all the time (at least, when the stream to the doorbell is working).

Ah, tanks for the valuable hint. Nothing needs to be configured in addition, only make sure that the Nuki lock is in the same room as the doorbell, because that is already the case.
But when it is ringing and i tap the button nothing happens.
Do you have an idea why?

With my Danalock it works exactly this way.
Re: Open door through Apple Watch Home App after ringing
Just to make sure to talk about the same. When it is ringing you can use the functionality to really open the door or just to unlock a locked door?

Well, unlocking my front door via HomeKit really opens it, yes.

Unfortunately i am not able to do it so there must be specific settings to get it working.
Any ideas?

Check what happens when you go to the camera in the home app on your iPhone, and then press the button in the bottom right.Here you should see the accessories in the same room including your lock.
