Niko Home Control II

The programming software design and logic have been made even more clear and user-friendly. From now on the installer as well as the end-user will use the same tool: the installer to programme the installation and the user to make adjustments. Consequently, we offer smarter solutions that require less programming. Please consult the online Niko Home Control System Manual to learn all about the installation and programming. Before starting, consult our FAQ for further information.

If you download the programming software, the touchscreen software is included to enable you to upgrade the touchscreens 550-20101 and 550-20102. These zip files can be stored on a memory stick to prepare the touchscreens for use in a Niko Home Control II installation (for more information on this procedure, please consult the included README file).
