Niko Home Control API - I cannot connect to the Hobby API from the connected controller or the wireless smart hub.

For Niko Home Control Software versions older than 2.17:

You can access the documentation for the Hobby API on the web portal.

For Niko Home Control Software versions starting from 2.17 and newer:

You can access the documentation for the Hobby API via the Niko Home Control programming software.

 You can find several suggestions for discovering the problem below:

  • Does your connected controller or wireless smart hub have the right software version?
    The Hobby API is available from software version 2.5.1 and only on the connected controller for Niko Home Control II and the wireless smart hub.
    You can find the software version in the Niko Home Control programming software in the Dashboard menu. You can download the most recent version of the programming software on our     website.

  • Check whether your application is in the same subnet as the connected controller or the wireless smart hub.
    This is because the Hobby API is available locally on your connected controller for Niko Home Control II or your wireless smart hub.

  • Are the authentication details (API token and username) correct? You always can generate a new token.
  • Could your Hobby API token have expired?
    Your Hobby API token is valid for one year.
    You can find the expiry date for your token on the     web portal (for versions before 2.17) or on the Niko Home Control programming software (for versions starting from 2.17) .
