Ajax: Automation based on state of security alarm
What do you need?
Niko requirements
Your Niko Home Control installation meets the following requirements:
It has a wireless smart hub or a connected controller II.
It is configured with the most recent programming software.
Depending on the basic modules of your Niko Home Control installation, you need to install the following additional products:
Required additional products | Reference numbers | |
---|---|---|
Connected controller | Digital potential-free sensor module with one free input per signal that you want to use in Niko Home Control If the output contact on your third-party device is not potential-free, you need an additional potential-free contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.230.1xx0 for 230 V connections, Finder 22.32.0.012.1xx0 for 12 V DC connections, Finder 22.32.0.024.1xx0 for 24 V DC connections) | |
Connected controller with a wireless bridge | Connected (double) switch with one free input (E) per signal that you want to use in Niko Home Control If the output contact on your third-party device is not 230 V, you need an additional 230 V contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.230.1xx0 for potential-free connections, Finder 22.32.0.012.1xx0 for 12 V DC connections, Finder 22.32.0.024.1xx0 for 24 V DC connections) The connected (double) switch can be placed on a DIN rail using a modular holder (e.g. Legrand 412950) | |
Wireless smart hub | Connected (double) switch with one free input (E) per signal that you want to use in Niko Home Control If the output contact on your third-party device is not 230 V, you need an additional 230 V contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.230.1xx0 for potential-free connections, Finder 22.32.0.012.1xx0 for 12 V DC connections, Finder 22.32.0.024.1xx0 for 24 V DC connections) The connected (double) switch can be placed on a DIN rail using a modular holder (e.g. Legrand 412950) |
Ajax requirements
Your system meets the following requirements:
Your alarm system has potential free or 12/24 V DC 230 V AC output contacts that signal when the alarm system is (dis)armed.
It is compatible with the Niko module (see Niko requirements).
Your alarm system must be connected to the Ajax Relay (potential-free contact: RELAY).
Wiring diagrams
If you also want to receive a signal when the alarm goes off, you need to connect an additional contact, see Ajax: Security alarm notification.
Connecting the sensor module
Via potential-free output contact
Connect contact 1 on the Niko sensor module to the output on the third-party system, as shown in the wiring diagram.

Connecting the connected switch
Via potential-free output contact
If the contacts of your ventilation system are not 230 V, you additionally need an appropriate potential-free contact module.
Connect contact 1 on the Niko connected switch to the output on the third-party system, as shown in the wiring diagram.

*230 V to potential-free contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.230.1xx0)
Programming
Configure the potential-free sensor module or connected switch and create conditions and/or routines via the Niko Home Control programming software.
