3. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install and set up your Nuki Door Sensor.

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the door and door frame surfaces where the sensor will be attached are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease.
2. Attach the Sensor:
   • Identify the main sensor unit (larger rectangular piece) and the magnet (smaller square piece).
   • Attach the main sensor unit to the door frame using the provided adhesive pads. Position it near the top corner of the door, on the side where the door closes.
   • Attach the magnet to the door itself, directly opposite the main sensor unit, ensuring they align when the door is closed. The gap between the sensor and magnet should be minimal when the door is closed.

3. Connect to Nuki App:
   • Open the Nuki app on your smartphone.
   • Follow the in-app instructions to add and connect your new Nuki Door Sensor to your Nuki Smart Lock system. The app will guide you through the pairing process.
4. Calibration:
   • The Nuki app will prompt you to open and close the door several times. This process allows the sensor to learn the "open" and "closed" positions accurately.
   • Ensure the door is fully closed and fully open during calibration to achieve precise readings.

4. Operation

Once installed and calibrated, the Nuki Door Sensor operates automatically in conjunction with your Nuki Smart Lock and the Nuki app.

Monitoring Door Status:

• Open the Nuki app to view the current status of your door (open or closed). This status is displayed alongside the lock status (locked or unlocked).
• The sensor provides immediate feedback on the door's physical state.

Notifications and Automation:

• Real-time Alerts: With Nuki Premium, you can receive notifications on your smartphone if the door status changes (e.g., door opened, door left ajar for too long).
• Automatic Locking: The Nuki Smart Lock can be configured to automatically lock only when the door sensor confirms the door is fully closed, preventing locking against an open door.
