2. Connected controller
Description
The connected controller is the central module of every Niko Home Control installation. It covers all basic functions on
which a Niko Home Control installation is built. The basic functions include:
• The intelligence directing the Niko Home Control installation. Through the programming software, the logic is saved
locally on the controller.
• The power supply module providing an input voltage of 26 Vdc to the bus, the cabinet modules and the controls.
Depending on the size of the installation, separate power supply modules can be added. For more information on the
required number of power supplies, see
• The connection to Niko Home Control IP devices such as touchscreens and/or external video units. A built-in router
allows the user to connect up to three devices directly to the controller. With an extra switch, this number can be
increased.
• The connection to the home network and the internet. This enables the user to control the installation both indoors and
outdoors (via mobile networks such as 3G, 4G, GPRS or a WiFi hotspot) using mobile devices (smartphones and tablets
with iOS or Android). It also ensures that you can use the Niko Home Control User settings software on PC/Mac and on
the eponymous app on mobile devices.
