Setting up routines
Routines can be any combination of functions connected to your Niko Home Control system:
- turning lights on/off or dimming them
- turning music on/off or adjusting the volume/track etc.
- turning heating up/down
- turning ventilation up/down
- opening/closing shutters, sun blinds, venetian blinds, garage doors, gates, roof windows etc.
Some of the most popular routines
These are merely a few examples. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination!
-
Also known as the “leaving the house” button – it can be located either at the front or back door
- Switches off all appliances or lights that don’t need to be left on
- Turns the heating and ventilation down
- Starts the presence simulation routine
-
For example in the entrance hall
- Turns on the lights in the entrance hall and the room you first enter
- Signals that “the children are home” to pre-programmed smartphones
-
For example next to your bed
- Turns the lights in the entire house on to their maximum brightness (except in the children’s rooms)
- Turns the music in the living room on
-
For example next to the bed or near the stairway
- Switches off all appliances and lights that don’t need to be left on during the night
- Closes all shutters
- Switches light to pre-programmed ‘low’ level for night time walkabouts, as required
-
For example in the living room or kitchen
- Switches lights, heating, ventilation, shutters and curtains etc. to a desired (pre-set) level
- Create routines for any activity you want: e.g. reading, watching TV, dinner party, a romantic evening, working, home alone etc
-
- As and when a certain temperature is reached, Niko Home Control will stop your house from getting any hotter by – for example –closing the shutters and blinds, and turning on the ventilation
-
- When the sun goes down, all shutters are closed in the living room and kitchen
- From then on, motion detectors on the driveway will turn the lights on if and when someone approaches
- And when it’s sunrise again, the shutters go up and the motion detectors are turned off

Starting a routine
The most common way of starting a routine is simply pressing a button. But it’s also possible to kick off a routine via the Digital Black, smartphone or tablet. You can even trigger a routine through movement, or when the temperature reaches a certain level.
In short? Your Niko Home Control can react to:
- the press of a button
- a predefined temperature
- movement
- predefined lighting conditions
- a timer or a pre-set program
