Ventilation module
The ventilation module controls the central ventilation system via the Niko Home Control installation. The module is suitable for use with whole house ventilation systems (mechanical extract ventilation or mechanical supply and extract ventilation with heat recovery). You connect the ventilation system to this module, instead of connecting it to the three- or four-way switch supplied with the system. The programming software allows you to select when and for how long the ventilation should remain activated for each setting, i.e. low (eco), normal or high. The resident can considerably save energy while maintaining optimum air quality by incorporating the ventilation control in the eco-function (all off) or calendar-based functions, for instance. The module includes three indication LEDs and one status LED. Bistable relays ensure low energy consumption.
Product details
Ventilation module for Niko Home Control
This module is used to control a ventilation system. Thanks to this module the ventilation control can also utilize the ""all off"" function and the calendar functions from your Niko Home Control installation. Using the programming software, you set when, how long and at which level the ventilation will work. By pushing the buttons on the module, you can also operate the ventilation manually. The module is equipped with three feedback LEDs and one status LED and uses very little energy."
Specification description
Ventilation module for Niko Home Control.
- Function: The ventilation module controls the central ventilation system via the Niko Home Control installation. The module is suitable for use with type C systems (mechanical extract ventilation) or type D systems (mechanical supply and extract ventilation with heat recovery). Connect the ventilation system to the ventilation module as opposed to the three or four-way switch supplied with the system.
The bus signal of the controller activates one of the outputs on the ventilation module. Each output corresponds with one setting on the ventilation unit: low (eco), medium or high. The outputs can also be activated manually via the buttons on the ventilation module. Please remember that the activation is only temporary as it will be overruled by the next bus communication. The outputs are activated or deactivated via low-energy bistable relays in the module. Use the specific push buttons for ventilation to operate the ventilation system in the home. The ventilation function can also be incorporated in scene settings.
A ventilation unit can generally be connected in two different ways:
- With two-wire control, you connect the common terminal from the ventilation unit in between two control wires. If no control wire is selected, the ventilation system will function at the lowest setting.
- With three-wire control, you connect the common terminal from the ventilation unit in between three control wires. Each control wire represents one specific ventilation setting.
Use the programming software to select when and for how long the ventilation system should remain activated for each setting, i.e. ‘low’ (eco), ‘medium’ and ‘high’. You can also select how long the highest setting should remain activated in boost mode. Furthermore, ventilation control can be incorporated in other Niko Home Control functions, such as the eco-function or calendar-based functions.
When the module is functioning properly, the STATUS LED will light up in TEST mode only. If one or several errors occur, the LED will blink to indicate the error code of the error with the highest priority.

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.
Digital black, connected customisable control screen, 24 V
Digital black is a customisable control screen for Niko Home Control with an extremely user-friendly interface with clear symbols. The screen is automatically activated when your hand comes near. That way, you can switch or dim your lights, set scenes, set ventilation modes, and adjust blinds and sunblinds to the desired position in one operation. In short, all possible Niko Home Control control types are available. As this Digital black 24 V variant is equipped with a temperature sensor and algorithm, it can be programmed as a zone-thermostat when linked to a Niko Home Control heating cooling module (550-00150) or switching module (550-00103 or 550-00106) programmed for electrical heating. Do you have an active connection with one of our heating partners? Then you can easily set the temperature with Digital black. When Digital black is used as a thermostat, you define the set points and week programs in the Niko Home app. With the Niko Home app you can choose which controls are displayed or where they are displayed on the screen, but also the way you navigate through your control screens. You can download this app for free in the App store or the Google Play store. Digital black can be easily mounted in any standard flush-mounting box using the familiar claw or screw fixing and is powered by a separate 24 Vdc supply (e.g. 340-00050). The screen communicates via your Wi-Fi network with the rest of your Niko Home Control system. You need an active internet connection to activate Digital black. This internet connection ensures that your Digital black and Niko Home Control installation are always up-to-date and have the most recent functionalities.
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.
