Nuki Smart Lock Ultra vs Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2

Full Smart Door Locks comparison in 2026

Updated July 2026
Data from Amazon and official Nuki and Wyze sites.
2026 verdict
Nuki Smart Lock Ultra wins on connectivity, integrations, unlock ecosystem and guest codes. It pairs built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Thread for native Matter, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant support, auto-unlocks by geolocation, and its keypads add one-time and periodic guest codes. Wyze Auto-Lock Bolt v2 answers with a dramatically lower price, a higher owner rating, an IP53 rating, about 8 months of battery life versus 6, and its complete built-in entry kit: a half-second AI fingerprint reader and anti-peep keypad in a ten-minute deadbolt install, though its ecosystem is the Wyze app with no HomeKit or Matter. Different doors too: European cylinders versus US deadbolts. As a connected flagship the Nuki Smart Lock Ultra takes it; as budget fingerprint entry, the Wyze remains superb.
