What do you need?

Niko requirements

Your Niko Home Control installation meets the following requirements:

You need the following connections and additional products:

  • Install and connect a digital potential-free sensor module (550-00210).

  • If the output contact on your ventilation system is not potential-free, you need an additional potential-free contact module.

Third party system requirements

Your system meets the following requirements:

Please note that not all ventilation systems that you can control via Niko Home Control are equipped with the output contact required for the filter notifications.
