DALI-2 addressable module, 2 channels
The DALI-2 fully addressable 2-channel interface module allows up to 128 DALI endpoints to be connected to a Niko Home Control installation. Addressing and programming of the DALI devices is done from within the Niko Home Control programming software, and no prior DALI knowledge is required. Each of the DALI endpoints can be configured and controlled separately, without the need to use any other DALI software or interface. The module comes with a built-in power supply, so there is no need to use a dedicated DALI power supply for the DALI bus.
Support of DALI device types (control gear):
- DT0 (Fluorescent, lamp control gear)
- DT1 (Self-contained emergency, control gear)
- DT2 (Discharge HID, lamp control gear)
- DT3 (Low-voltage halogen, lamp control gear)
- DT4 (Incandescent lamp, dimmer)
- DT5 (Conversion to D.C. voltage, 1-10 V, 0-10 V converter)
- DT6 (LED lamp, control gear)
- DT7 (Switching, relay control gear)

DALI device type DT8 (Colour, Control gear) is not yet supported. Colour control is possible in DT6 mode if the DALI-2 addressable module is connected to a third-party DALI-2 LED driver that can be configured in a dual DT6 operating mode. In this set-up, two DALI-2 addresses are used: one to control light intensity and another to set the colour temperature. See guide.niko.eu for more details.

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.
