Step 4
Download and install the Niko Home app
Skip, app is already installed
A
Download the Niko Home app via Google Play or in the App Store.
B
Open the Niko Home app and log in with the same e-mail address that you used to register the wireless smart hub on https://mynikohomecontrol.niko.eu .
Tip: You can make optimal use of the Niko Home Control installation if you allow the app access to your location, use of mobile data and to send notifications.
C
If a new software version is available for the smart hub, the app will ask to perform the upgrade before you continue.
This upgrade can take up to 20 minutes.
If you choose to perform the upgrade later on, you can continue to command the installation, but will not be able to program.
Add the connected switching socket outlet
Note: If you have installed several switches, dimmers or socket outlets, begin by adding the device closest to the wireless smart hub and continue systematically . Also, check the explanation about the Zigbee® mesh network.
A
Navigate using the menu (≡) to Settings and click on Devices.
B
Select Socket outlets from the list of devices that you can add.
C
Click on Add socket outlet.
D
Indicate the room in which the socket outlet is located.
Choose an existing room or add a new one.
E
Make 3 short presses in a row on the small push button of the socket outlet in order to send a signal to the Niko Home app, allowing you to add this socket outlet.
-
The socket outlets must be added manually one by one. This may seem like hard work, but then you know exactly which socket outlet you are adding and you can allocate an appropriate name in the app.
After pressing the small push button 3 times, theblue LED on the connected switching socket outlet will flash. This can take 3 minutes. Once the connection has been made, the socket outlet's blue LED will light up continuously for 4 seconds. You then go automatically to the next screen in the app.
The socket outlet has now been added.
F
Give each socket outlet a clear and appropriate name so that you can find it easily again later.
Tip: You can name the socket outlet after its location, for example: ‘Socket outlet by the television in the living room’.
G
Click on Ready. Your settings are then sent to the wireless smart hub.
This may take a few minutes. During this step your Niko Home Control installation may react more slowly than you are used to.
The socket outlet will now appear in the Control navigation tab. You can use the app to command the socket outlet by clicking on it in this screen.
Repeat the steps to add the connected switching socket outlets for all the other socket outlets you have made smart.
