Duco

What can you do with Duco and Niko Home Control?

Manage multi-zone ventilation

If you connect your ventilation units 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 control multiple rooms individually, using the following actions:

• Set fan speed: low, medium, high

• Activate boost (temporary high fan speed)

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

• Automate ventilation speeds based on air quality conditions measured by push buttons with comfort sensors; see Creating a condition.

• Use excess solar energy for heat recuperation (using the by-pass function of your ventilation system), via solar mode.
