How do you activate the link between your Niko Home Control and your Bulex system?

If you only want to control your partner system with the Niko Home app, a touchscreen or a Digital Black activating the connected service in the Niko Home Control programming software suffices.

     1. Check if you have everything you need (see above).

     2. Activate the Bulex connected service in the Dashboard menu. Doing this, you already can control your Bulex system via the Niko Home app and a touchscreen. To control the Bulex functions on your Digital bIack, select the Bulex controls for your Digital black in the Niko Home app.


If you want to use your Bulex system as a part of your configuration (use the system in routines and/or conditions), follow the additional steps below.

     3. Add one or both of the following devices:

      • generic heating Bulex
      • generic warm water Bulex

     4. Create the desired routines and/or conditions with the Bulex device(s).

     5. Address the Bulex devices.

     6. Upload the configuration file to your installation.


How do you deactivate the link between your Niko Home Control and your Bulex system?

     1. Deactivate the Bulex connected service in the Dashboard menu.

If you used your Bulex system as a part of your configuration (used the system in routines and/or conditions), follow the additional steps below.

     2. Remove the generic heating Bulex device and/or generic warm water Bulex device from the floor plan.

     3. Upload the configuration file to your installation.


After deactivating the link, the following happens:

  • The Bulex functions disappear from your Niko Home app, your touchscreen and your Digital black.
  • When used in Niko Home Control routines, the Bulex functions will not be executed anymore.
