Step 4

Download and install the Niko Home app

Skip, app is already installed

A

Download the Niko Home app via Google Play or in the App Store.

B

Open the Niko Home app and log in with the same e-mail address that you used to register the wireless smart hub on https://mynikohomecontrol.niko.eu .

Tip: You can make optimal use of the Niko Home Control installation if you allow the app access to your location, use of mobile data and to send notifications.

C

If a new software version is available for the smart hub, the app will ask to perform the upgrade before you continue.

This upgrade can take up to 20 minutes.

If you choose to perform the upgrade later on, you can continue to command the installation, but will not be able to program.

Add the connected motor control.

Note: If you have installed several motor controls, switches, dimmers or socket outlets, you must add the devices in the correct order in order to create an optimal network. Start with the device closest to the wireless smart hub and continue until you have added the furthest device. Also, check the explanation about the Zigbee^® mesh network.

A

Navigate using the menu (≡) to Settings and click on Devices.

B

Select Switches from the list of devices that you can add.

C

Click on Add switch.

D

Confirm in which room the motor control is located.

Choose an existing room or add a new one.

E

Press the control button of the motor control quickly 3 times in a row in order to send a signal to the Niko Home app, allowing you to add that motor control

Note: You can choose on which control button you press.

After pressing the control button 3 times the blue LEDs on the connected motor control will start to flash. This can take 5 minutes. Once the connection has been made, the blue LEDs on the motor control will light up continuously for 4 seconds. You then go automatically to the next screen in the app.

F

Set the behaviour of the LEDs for this motor control.

• Tick LED if you want feedback whenever this motor control is turned on. The LED acts as an informant: the white LED lights up when the associated motor is active. To do this you need a finishing set with a lens. Then click on Continue.
• Or tick No LED if you don't want the LED to light up when turned on. Then click on Continue.

Tip: You can always alter the LED behaviour per button later on.

G

Select the type of roll-down shutter/sun blinds that you are activating with this control button .

H

Give the roll-down shutter (or sun blind) and motor control a clear and appropriate name so you can find them easily again later. To do so, click on the Pencil on the right.

Then click on Continue and finally on Ready. Your settings are sent to the wireless smart hub.

This may take a few minutes. During this step your Niko Home Control installation may react more slowly than you are used to.

I

In the navigation tab Command the roll-down shutter (or sun blind) that is connected will now appear on the connected motor control. You can now command this using the app by clicking on it in this screen.
