If you have multiple applications from different parties that control your EV charger, you will potentially have conflicts between those applications who would like to control the EV charger. This will result in an incorrect working of your EV charging.

If your EV charger is programmed to charge with a badge, you need to connect your car and badge to initiate the charging session.

Yes, via the Niko Home APP you can control your EV smart charging session.

Optimal EV charging, using dynamic tariff is not yet included in this release 2.19. Support for dynamic tariff control will come in one of the next releases.

If the charging sessions of your EV charger are not protected by a keycard or badge, you can create a Niko Home Control routine to pause and resume charging. Via your Niko Home APP, Niko Home Control buttons or digital Black, you can pause/resume charging sessions on your EV charger.

Niko Home control interacts via your local home network with your EV charger. You need to ensure that your EV charger is connected to your home network via a network cable (preferred) or via WiFi.

The NHC software release 2.19 currently supports only one EV charger connection per installation.

Following brands are supported by Niko Home Control:

Yes, you can define the maximum peak power in the electricity tariff settings via your Home APP.

With Solar mode, the car will be charged using excessive solar panel power.

When the connection with Niko Home Control gets interrupted, your EV charger will be able to charge your car in a failsafe mode (low charging power).

Niko Home control will charge your car, depending upon the maximum available energy of your home.

The Home APP allows you to have insights your overall energy, gas and water consumption, based upon Euro, Danish Krone, Pound Sterling.

In order to avoid the measurements from the digital meter and the measuring module being added together, you can use the NHC programming software to adjust the "measurement type" parameter to "sub-measurement" for this measuring module.

Yes, you can use Solar Mode in 2 ways in a bus wiring installation.

A hub cannot be connected to a connected controller. For this, we have a wireless bridge for Niko Home Control (550-00640) which you connect via USB with the Connected Controller.

Our measuring module 550-00803 can measure the total electricity consumption of the home that is connected to a three-phase supply network 3P+N (400 V AC) or 3P (3 x 230 V AC).

​You can use Solar Mode in 2 ways in a bus wiring installation:

This is possible if you connect a wireless bridge for Niko Home Control (550-00640) with the Connected Controller.

Currently, only the energy data from the measurement clamps is visible on the touchscreen. In the home app, all energy data are visible.

Besides the smart plugs from Niko, only smart plugs that support Zigbee, are switchable and measure energy consumption can be integrated into Niko Home Control.

Of course, we have a configuration tool that also works on PCs

The connected switches with reference 551-***** work on Easywave# and can be controlled by the Smarthub. The connected switches with reference 552-*****, the connected socket outlets, the connected wireless switches and the wireless motion detector work on Zigbee and can be controlled by the Smarthub or by the connected controller in combination with the wireless bridge.

A 2-metre cable is supplied.

Multiple accounts can be connected to the Niko Home app. This makes it possible to operate multiple Smart Hubs or Connected Controllers from the same app.

Our Solar mode does not operate based on yield but on injection. A connection to a digital meter or an overall measurement is sufficient in this regard.

Yes, this is possible using a 230V auxiliary relay that is switched on or off via the intelligent plug or via the intelligent socket outlet.

The Hub connects to the transformer over the local network (Modbus TCP), so this could be over WiFi or an Ethernet cable.

This situation may occur when your NHC bus installation is equipped with a measuring module and a wireless bridge that also reads from the smart meter.

Communication with the transformer is not necessary; the Solar Mode works based on the connection to the digital meter or an overall measurement via the clamps.

The Starter Kit is already available.

No, the capacity tariff is only based on consumption and not injection.

No, the Solar Mode comes with Niko Home Control as standard, so there is no need to pay for anything else.

Charging stations can be controlled by connecting the plugs to the charging station with special input contacts or by connecting them to an auxiliary relay that switches power to the charging station on or off. Dynamic power regulation for the charging station is not yet possible for the time being.

Dynamic power regulation is not possible at present. However, Niko Home Control can be combined with the SGReady port, for example.

No – once started, the device will remain active during the period configured. You determine how long the device should be active for when there is injection yourself.

Of course, the Solar Mode function checks whether there is any injection every 2 seconds and will activate appliances if that injection is continuous.

You can control smart devices from other brands via IFTTT or via our partner connections (HVAC applications).

We are working on integration with the SMA Sunny storage solution, through which the battery status will indeed be visible too. It is not yet entirely clear when we will be able to bring this to market.

This can be done by programming the smart socket outlets to interrupt the program after startup. Once there is power to the socket outlet again (e.g. via Solar Mode), the dishwasher will continue with its program. Another possibility is to control the smart white goods appliances via IFTTT.

Thanks to Niko Home Control's Solar Mode, you are perfectly able to ensure that 1 or more devices are switched on when there is overproduction from the solar panels. However, not all devices are suited to this.

Absolutely – an API link to Daikin is available.

You do not need to have any existing system and it is perfectly possible to integrate this solution into a classical installation with the Smart Hub. The solution itself is part of Niko Home Control, so once you have installed the Smart Hub, there are various ways to add functionality:

This is possible if you have a digital gas meter.

This is an RJ12 plug, but we do not recommend extending this The voltage may drop if the cable is too long, so your measurements will not come through properly.

Yes, the solar mode ensures that if there is more than a certain power yield during a certain period, a first device is switched on.

Battery storage is not supported at present, although it is planned for.

In order connect a Vaillant device to Niko Home Control II, certain conditions need to be met: 1. You have a Vaillant boiler having an eBUS connection. 2. Your system has a vSMART or eRELAX thermostat. 3. Your system has an active Internet connection. 4. Your system is equipped with a Vaillant communication unit and you have its serial number to hand.

You can: Heat up the boiler when solar energy is available. Or set your underfloor heating a few degrees higher during the day, so you need less energy to provide heating in the evening.
