Hörmann
What can you do with Hörmann and Niko Home Control?
Control your garage doors and gates
If you connect your motor-controlled garage doors and gates to Niko Home Control, you can control them via push buttons, the Niko Home app on a tablet or smartphone, the Touchscreen and/or Digital black.
You can perform the following actions:
Open/close
Stop opening/closing at an intermediate position
We recommend the following options to make even better use of this connection:
Receive an informative notification when the garage door or gate is open while you are away; see https://guide.niko.eu/en/smnhc2/lv/creating-notifications.
Automatically switch on lighting, when you open the garage door; see https://guide.niko.eu/en/smnhc2/lv/custom-routine.

Programming
Configure the switching module or connected switch in the programming software. Depending on the type of installation, you can use the following instructions and programming examples as inspiration:
In case of bus wiring create a routine ‘Access control for motorised doors’, see https://guide.niko.eu/en/smnhc2/lv/access-control-for-motorized-doors
In case of traditional wiring create a pulse using a custom routine (define start and stop), see https://guide.niko.eu/en/penhc2/lv/creating-a-pulse-of-less-than-1-second-using-a-pus
