You want a smarter home but don’t want to knock down walls to replace your electrics? No problem! Niko Home Control can be installed on traditional electrical wiring installations. You can replace your existing switches and socket outlets with controls that can wirelessly communicate with each other.
The system includes a wireless smart hub – that’s the brains of Niko Home Control – as well as connected sockets, switches, motor controls and wireless detectors. You can add more wireless controls when you need them. You can program and control the entire installation via the intuitive Niko Home app on your smartphone.
1. Technical setup
What is traditional wiring?
Traditional wiring uses classic 230V electrical wiring that only carries electricity. This means a switch controls only those items connected to that switch via the cables.
In Niko Home Control for traditional wiring, the switches and socket outlets communicate wirelessly with a central gateway. So you can control your lighting and roll-down blinds via your smartphone and operate everything with just one button.
The central brain of Niko Home Control
You can even connect it to your digital meter for insights into energy consumption and overproduction.
2. Operate your system the way you want to
The Niko Home app
The Niko Home app gives you total control of your home. You can use it to operate all the functions in your home, like lighting, connected appliances, heating, routines and even the access to your front door or gate.
Thanks to the detailed overview of your energy flows, you'll have useful insights into your energy consumption and production.
You can also use it for the programming of your installation and to create and control routines, even advanced ones such as presence simulation or solar mode, and change settings or time schedules.

There are always places in your home where you might want an extra switch. Niko’s wireless Zigbee® switches give you that option. Stick, screw or place them anywhere. And control whatever you like.
