What can you do with Niko Home Control?

By using Niko Home Home Control, you can charge your car as efficiently as possible in one of the following modes: 

  • Solar mode
  • Normal mode
  • Stop/pause mode
  • Smart Mode (coming soon) 
  • Boost mode (coming soon)

When charging your car with Niko Home Control, the following features are supported:

  • Load balancing (i.e. the car's charging power is adapted automatically as a fuse overload protection mechanism)
  • Control your peak consumption via peak mode
    (i.e. when you’ve reached your monthly peak target value, your devices will temporarily be switched off. They are switched on again when you’ve reduced your peak power consumption. This feature is especially useful if your electricity net tariff is capacity based)
  • Integration of multiple electric vehicle charging connections (coming soon)
