Vaillant
What can you do with Vaillant and Niko Home Control?
Manage multi-zone heating and cooling with your heat pump
If you connect your heat pump or heat pump boiler to Niko Home Control, you can control it via 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:
Check and set the room temperature
Choose programs and modes (e.g., home, away, vacation)
Set up a weekly program
We recommend the following options to make even better use of this connection:
Include the away mode in the all-off routine; see Basic all-off.
Turn off the heating when the windows/doors are open; see Custom routine.
