Setting up an analogue control module 0-10 V or 1-10 V

Situation

This step-by-step plan explains how to set up an analogue control module in the Niko Home Control software.

Starting point

The starting point for this step-by-step plan is a project that already encompasses Project information and for which a plan was already drawn up or uploaded.

Run through the steps in Adding a new project and then Drawing a plan or Upload a background image if there is no existing project.

Step 1: Create an analogue output

• Go to Creation in the menu bar at the top.

• Click on add an output.
• Click on analogue output 0-10V or analogue output 1-10V in the list of options in the right-hand window. The output appears on the plan.
• Drag the output to the correct location and give it a recognisable name.
• Choose an existing location from the list.
  Click on Add a location if the location has not yet been defined.

• Click on save to return to the Creation start screen.

Step 2: Change the output's values

• If necessary, click on the icon of the output you added to the plan to change the minimum and maximum values of the output.

• Click on save to return to the Creation start screen.

Step 3: Add an input

• Click on add an input.
• Click on single push button in the list of options in the right-hand window. The input appears on the plan.
• Drag the input to the correct location and give it a recognisable name.
• Choose an existing location from the list.
  Click on Add a location if the location has not yet been defined.

A specific dim button can also be used to allow for three-button dimming functionality.

Click on save to return to the Creation start screen.

Step 4: Add an action

• Click on add an action. The action will appear as a text balloon on the plan.
• Drag the action to a logical and appropriate place, e.g. to the relevant input or output.
• Give the action a name.
• Choose an existing location from the list.
  Click on Add a location if the location has not yet been defined.

• Click on continue to go to the players tab.
• Click on the single push button and the analogue control module on the plan to link them to the action.

Step 5: Examine the basic behaviour

• Click on continue to go to the Basic behaviour tab.
• Click on predefined.
• Click on Which behaviour is this? to examine the predefined behaviour of the dimming control. A pop-up window will open.
• Click on close to close the pop-up window.

Step 6: Define the basic behaviour

You can also define the basic behaviour yourself. 

• Select unrestricted.
• Enter the start and stop behaviour.

• Click on continue.
• Click on continue to go to the Conditions tab.
• Click on continue to go to the Time automation tab.
• Click on save to return to the Creation start screen.
