Smart Lock for Front Door

Nuki

open via Siri

So far, I had no reason to deal with "Siri."
Does it work like this, that you have your phone with you and say to "it": "Open the door!"?

That’s how it should be, yes. Siri is just the interface to the smart home.

Yes, whether phone or watch doesn't matter. I find it doesn't get more comfortable than that.

In the app, you can then also see the exact status of the lock. Here as an example hallway and garage.

My statements are only this detailed because I was asked.
Thank you for the explanation.

Years ago, when I investigated whether "voice assistants" were something for me, I found this - just like now:

[*]

Voice assistants have to listen constantly in order to respond to the user's voice commands. This creates the risk that private conversations or confidential information could be recorded and passed on to third parties.
[*]Lack of control: Users have no direct control over which information is recorded and stored by voice assistants.

I do not assume that I urgently have to expect to be eavesdropped on; nevertheless, I still decide against it today.
I practically always carry my phone with me - and of course it can be lost. But I assume that I will notice this quickly and act accordingly. Therefore, losing my phone seems less concerning to me than the possibility of being eavesdropped on without noticing it.

This is just my personal comment on the situation and "I don't know better."
Everyone does what they think is sensible.

(I am very glad that we can decide such things ourselves)

And hopefully the microphone is turned off. Because otherwise Siri & Co. could also be listening permanently (although you do not know whether the microphone is actually turned off).

"where you don't know if the microphone is actually turned off"

there are always risks, of course.
for political reasons, I have not been on Face-book or the Twitter successor for years, although I regret no longer having these means of communication.
somewhere you just have to draw your line.
