Nuki Smart Lock Pro vs Philips Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt DDL242X

The Philips Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt DDL242X wins the overall comparison, with a lower price, a higher owner rating, better weather resistance and built-in one-time, periodic and anti-peep guest codes. The Nuki Smart Lock Pro answers with deeper connectivity and a much longer list of native platform integrations.

Ecosystem reach versus built-in entry methods. The Nuki Smart Lock Pro connects to Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter over its own Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Thread. The Philips Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt DDL242X only reaches Google Home and Alexa, but it builds fingerprint and keypad entry directly into the lock instead of selling them as accessories.

Not built in. Passcode entry needs Nuki's separate Keypad accessory and fingerprint needs the Keypad 2, both sold on top of the lock itself. The Philips Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt DDL242X includes both a touchscreen keypad and a fingerprint reader in the box.

The Nuki Smart Lock Pro has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth plus Thread for Matter, giving it the wider connectivity edge. The Philips Wi-Fi Smart Deadbolt DDL242X has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth but no Thread, so it works remotely without a hub but does not reach Matter.

European households who want a premium retrofit lock with the broadest native smart-home integration, and who are willing to add Nuki's keypad accessory for passcode or fingerprint entry.

Buyers who want fingerprint and keypad entry included from the start, at a lower price and with a higher owner rating, and who only need Google Home or Alexa voice control.
