Your Niko Home Control installation meets the following requirements:

  • It has a connected controller II.

  • It is configured with the most recent programming software (version 2.17 or higher).

You need the following if you want to use the Niko Home control multi-zone thermostat control:

  • a switching module for Niko Home Control (550-00103 or 550-00106) with at least one free output

  • a digital potential-free sensor module for Niko Home Control (550-00210) with at least one free input in combination with an additional 230V/potential-free contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.230.1xx0)

  • a heating or cooling module for Niko Home Control (550-00150) (per four zones, an extra module is needed)

  • one thermostat per zone:

    • a Digital black, 24 V (550-1800X)

    • a push button with LED(s) and comfort sensors

Your partner system meets the following requirements:

  • It is a Buderus heat pump system that supports:

    • heating only

    • heating/cooling

  • It has a buffer tank

A 'PK2' contact on the installer board indicates whether the heating/cooling mode is active.

The 'PK2' contact provides the signal to the Niko Home Control installation to switch from heating to cooling mode and vice versa.

Settings for multi-zone heating/cooling

To view HVAC programming examples, please see Niko Home Control programming examples.

Multi-zone heating/cooling with zone valves can only be performed if the following conditions are met:

  • The heat pump has a buffer tank connected in parallel, as well as an additional bypass circuit.

  • The heat pump only takes into account the weather-dependent control, clock program (or manual) and flow temperature T0.

  • The heat pump decides between heating or cooling, depending on the weather. The Niko Home Control thermostats must be forced/blocked in the relevant mode via the Niko Home Control digital input module connected to output PK2.

    • Input closed = cooling

    • Input open = heating
