LED behaviour on the connected motor control, Zigbee®



ReasonAction
LEDs off




Normal operation when:

  • The connected motor control is used with Niko Home Control or in stand-alone mode with the feedback LED disabled
  • The feedback LED is enabled and the lamp is switched OFF
  • The feedback LED is inverted and the lamp is switched ON
  • The feedback LED is configured Always OFF


  • In connected mode via the Niko Home Control programming software
    • When creating a new Zigbee® device via the programming software or the Niko Home app, you will have to indicate if you want to enable or disable the feedback LED
    • In Basic actions, the feedback LED of a Zigbee® variant can be set to:
      • Normal (ON when the device is active)
      • Inverted (OFF when the device is active)
      • Always ON
      • Always OFF
    • With routines, the feedback LED can only be set to Normal (ON when the device is active) or Inverted (OFF when the device is active). By default, it is configured to Normal
    • If you have created a Zigbee® device with the LED set on disabled and you would like to use the feedback LED, delete the device in your Niko Home Control installation and recreate it as a device with the feedback LED set on enabled

The connected motor control is not powered

Check the wiring and the miniature circuit breaker (MCB) in the electrical cabinet

The connected motor control is malfunctioning

  • If a red LED is blinking, there is a wireless connection problem between the connected motor control and the smart hub or wireless bridge
  • If no red LED is blinking, recheck the configuration or switch off the smart hub or wireless bridge. The red LED should start blinking and the device should work in stand-alone mode. Check if you can hear the switching of the built-in relay when using the connected motor control. Replace the connected motor control if the device doesn't work in stand-alone mode
White LED is on

Normal operation of the connected motor control:

  • with parameter Feedback LED: Normal

The feedback LED indicates which push button must be pressed next to reverse the direction of the motor. Both feedback LEDs will become active when the motor control is used or when the motor is stopped before the run time has been completed.

  • with parameter Feedback LED: Inverted

The feedback LED displays the state of the shutter or blind. Both feedback LEDs will become active when the motor control is used or when the motor is stopped before the run time completed

  • with parameter Feedback LED: Always ON

Both feedback LEDs are ON all the time


In stand-alone use, the white feedback LED is set to Normal with by default a run time of one and a half minutes.

  • The connected motor control is working fine
  • You can only change the state of the feedback LED to Inverted by using the Zigbee® device in a basic action. Configuring an inverted feedback LED is not possible in routines
Red LEDs are flashing

The RF connection to the smart hub or wireless bridge is temporarily interrupted or (parts of) the Niko Home Control installation was/were recently power cycled

  • The connection will restore automatically. If it doesn't, try to power cycle your smart hub or wireless bridge and check if the connected motor control is still within range of the smart hub or wireless bridge
  • If the red LED is blinking because (parts of) your Niko Home Control installation was/were power cycled, you can stop the feedback LED from blinking red by using the Zigbee® device locally via the push button or via the Home app. Note: this does not work if the RF connection with the smart hub is interrupted
Blue LEDs are flashing

  • The connected motor control is trying to connect to the Zigbee® network.
  • If the identify function of the Zigbee® device is activated via the diagnostics page in the programming software, the blue LED will start flashing once the Zigbee® control is active
Wait until the LED stops flashing. This can take up to 5 minutes
Blue LEDs are on for 4 seconds

The connected motor control is connected to the Zigbee® network

The blue LED will switch OFF after 4 seconds. The connected motor control is ready to be used in the Niko Home Control network
