Analogue sensor module
The analogue sensor module allows you to connect three external analogue sensors with an output of 0-10 V to the Niko Home Control installation. These sensors must be suitable for applications with a safety extra-low voltage (SELV), such as sensors for measuring sunlight, wind, rain, CO2, humidity, or temperature. In function of the values measured, applications such as sunblinds, roll-down shutters, and lights can be operated automatically.

Analogue sensor module for Niko Home Control
Up to three external analogue sensors can be connected to the Niko Home Control installation using the analogue sensor module. The sensors must be suitable for use in applications with safety extra-low voltage (SELV). This type of sensor is used for measuring sunlight, wind, rain, CO2, humidity, or temperature. In function of the values measured, applications such as sunblinds, roll-down shutters, and lights can be operated automatically.
Specification description
Analogue sensor module for Niko Home Control.
- Function: Up to three external analogue sensors can be connected to the Niko Home Control installation using the analogue sensor module. The sensors must be suitable for use in applications with safety extra-low voltage (SELV). This type of sensor is used for measuring sunlight, wind, rain, CO2, humidity, or temperature. In function of the values measured, applications such as sunblinds, roll-down shutters, and lights can be operated automatically.
When a connected sensor is activated, the corresponding input will receive a signal between 0 and 10 V and the module will forward this value and the address to the controller, which then activates one or several pre-programmed actions. Each value corresponding to a certain input voltage is set via the programming software. Activation of a connected sensor can be simulated by pressing the button. The real input will in that case be deactivated for two minutes.
The distance between the sensors and the module should not exceed 100 m. A maximum of three sensors can be connected per module. Up to 10 modules can be connected per installation.
When the module is functioning properly, the STATUS LED will light up in TEST mode only. If one or several errors occur, the LED will blink to indicate the error code of the error with the highest priority.

Connected controller for Niko Home Control II
The connected controller is the central module of every Niko Home Control installation for bus wiring. This module contains firmware that can only be programmed with the Niko Home Control programming software 2.1.1 or higher. It covers all basic functions on which a Niko Home Control installation is built. The basic functions include: • The intelligence directing the logic to the installation. Through the configuration software, the logic is saved locally on the controller. • The power supply module providing an input voltage of 26 V to the bus, the cabinet modules and the controls. Depending on the size of the installation, separate power supply modules can be added. • The connection to Niko Home Control IP devices such as touchscreens and external video units. A built-in router allows the user to connect up to 3 devices directly to the controller. With an extra switch, this number can be increased. • The connection to the internet. This enables the user to control the installation both indoors and outdoors (via mobile networks such as 3G, 4G, GPRS or Wi-Fi hotspot) using mobile devices (smartphones and tablets with iOS or Android). The module has a TEST button to verify the proper functioning and status of all other modules. Each installation must consist of one connected controller. After registration, your installation is connected, enabling control through the app via your smartphone and tablet, and you can enjoy the Niko services for upgrade or diagnosis of the installation.
Power supply
The power supply, in combination with the connected controller, provides an extra input voltage of 26 V to the bus, modules and controls. An extra power supply is only necessary in installations for which the power of the built-in power supply of the connected controller is insufficient. Up to 2 extra power supplies can be connected to installations with a connected controller. The MASTER button is not used, as the built-in power supply of the connected controller is always the master. For more information on the required number of power supplies, you can consult the installation manual.
Rail coupler
This module is always mounted first on the left at the start of a new row of DIN rail modules that doesn't contain a connected controller or power supply. Interconnect the power supply and bus through the contacts at the top and bottom.
