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.
Via 230 V or 12/24 V output contact
If the contacts of your Keypad or MiFare reader are not potential-free, you additionally need an appropriate potential-free contact module.
Connect contact 1 on the Niko sensor module to the output on the third-party system, as shown in the wiring diagram.
230 V output contact | 12/24 V output contact |
|---|---|
 *230 V to potential-free contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.230.1xx0) |  *12 V to potential-free contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.012.1xx0) or 24 V to potential-free contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.024.1xx0) |
Connecting the connected switch
Via potential-free output contact
If the contacts of your Keypad or MiFare reader 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)
Via 230 V or 12/24 V output contact
If the contacts of your Keypad or MiFare reader are not 230 V, you additionally need an appropriate contact module.

230 V output contact | 12/24 V output contact |
|---|---|
 | *12 V to 230 V contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.012.1xx0) or 24 V to 230 V contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.024.1xx0) |
Programming
Check if your keypad or MiFare reader is normally open or normally closed.
Consult the programming instructions for your specific garage door and/or gate.
Configure the potential-free sensor module or connected switch and use its signal to trigger the garage doors and gates via the Niko Home Control programming software:
In case of bus wiring
Create a connection to external system.
Use the the inversion setting in case your keypad or MiFare reader is normally closed.
Create a condition, where the IF part is the connection to external system.
Use the THEN part to trigger your garage door or gate.
In case of traditional wiring
Assign the push-button extension to the extension button input (E1) of the connected switch.
Set the operating mode of the push-button extension on “push-button mode”.
Create a virtual device.
Link a basic action between the push-button extension and the virtual device.
Create a condition, where the IF part is the virtual device.
Use the THEN or ELSE part to trigger your garage door or gate:
Use the THEN part in case your keypad or MiFare reader is normally open.
Use the ELSE part in case your keypad or MiFare reader is normally closed.
