Home Assistant Virtual Nuki Bridge

Use this instead of the Nuki Bridge device.

Important - if you are experiencing delays using RPI, it is advised to use a bluetooth dongle instead of the builtin bluetooth hardware. TP-LINK UB400 is verified to be working.

Background

• This is heavily inspired by the work of Jandebeule.
• Forked from dauden1184 's RaspiNukiBridge
• Similar project here

Installation

There are 2 methods:

1. Go to Home Assistant -> Configuration -> Add-ons, backups & Supervisor -> add-on store (in the bottom right corner)

   

2. On the top right overflow menu ⋮ click the "Check for updates" button

3. Install the addon. It takes a few minutes.

4. Don't start it yet!

Pairing

1. Press the button of the Nuki Smart Lock for 6 seconds. It should light up.

2. Run

   1. If installed as addon, click start

   2. If installed outside HA, run

      python .

3. Look in logs for:

   ********************************************************************
   *                                                                  *
   *                         Pairing completed!                       *
   *                            Access Token                          *
   * abcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabca *
   *                                                                  *
   ********************************************************************

   In case you missed it, restart the service and check again.
