Velleman

What can you do with Velleman and Niko Home Control?

If you connect the contacts in your doors, gates and windows to Niko Home Control, you can check whether they are open/closed via the Niko Home app on a tablet or smartphone, the Touchscreen and/or Digital black.

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

• Receive a notification when a door is opened while your home is in away status; see Creating notifications

• Automatically switch on lighting when you open the door; see Custom routine

• Temporarily stop heating/cooling when a window is open; see Creating a condition

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)	550-00210
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)	552-721x1, 552-721x2
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)	552-721x1, 552-721x2

Wiring diagrams

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 your door/window status contacts 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 your door/window status contacts 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 your door/window status contacts are not 230 V, you additionally need an appropriate 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 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 door or window contact is normally open or normally closed. Adjust the feedback text accordingly.

Configure the potential-free sensor module or connected switch and use its signal to show the status of the door or window via the Niko Home Control programming software.

In case of bus wiring

1. Create a connection to external system.

2. Create a player status:

   1. In the behaviour, select the connection to external system.

   2. In the parameters, you can enter the text that will be displayed as feedback.

In case of traditional wiring

1. Create a push-button extension.

2. Assign the push-button extension to the extension button input (E1) of the connected switch.

3. Set the operating mode of the push-button extension on “push-button mode”.

4. Create a virtual device.

5. Link a basic action between the push-button extension and the virtual device.

6. Create a player status.

   1. In the behaviour, select the virtual device.

   2. In the parameters, you can enter the text that will be displayed as feedback.
