B+B Sensors

What can you do with B+B Sensors and Niko Home Control?

Automate your shutters and blinds based on weather conditions

If you connect a weather station to Niko Home Control, you can control and automate connected devices based on the weather conditions.

If you have already connected your shutters and blinds, you can for example automate the following actions:

• Close when there is too much wind

• Close when there is too much rain

• Close when the room temperature is too high and the sun is shining on the windows

We recommend the following options to make even better use of this connection:

Visualise the temperature and/or humidity measured by the weather station in the ‘Climate’ tab of the Niko Home app.
