Third party requirements

Your system meets the following requirements:

It is a keypad and/or MiFare reader, installed in the proximity of the garage door or gate that you want to control.
Your system has a potential-free or 12/24 V DC or 230 V AC output contact.

Wiring diagrams

Connecting the sensor module

Via potential-free output contact

Connect contact 1 on the Niko sensor module to the output on the third-party system, as shown in the wiring diagram.

Via 230 V or 12/24 V output contact

If the contacts of your Keypad or MiFare reader are not potential-free, you additionally need an appropriate potential-free contact module.

Connect contact 1 on the Niko sensor module to the output on the third-party system, as shown in the wiring diagram.

230 V output contact	12/24 V output contact
*230 V to potential-free contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.230.1xx0)	*12 V to potential-free contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.012.1xx0) or 24 V to potential-free contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.024.1xx0)

Connecting the connected switch

Via potential-free output contact

If the contacts of your Keypad or MiFare reader are not 230 V, you additionally need an appropriate potential-free contact module.

Connect contact 1 on the Niko connected switch to the output on the third-party system, as shown in the wiring diagram.

*230 V to potential-free contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.230.1xx0)

Via 230 V or 12/24 V output contact

If the contacts of your Keypad or MiFare reader are not 230 V, you additionally need an appropriate contact module.

Connect contact 1 on the Niko connected switch to the output on the third-party system, as shown in the wiring diagram.

	*12 V to 230 V contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.012.1xx0) or 24 V to 230 V contact module (e.g. Finder 22.32.0.024.1xx0)

Programming

Check if your keypad or MiFare reader is normally open or normally closed.

Consult the programming instructions for your specific garage door and/or gate.

Configure the potential-free sensor module or connected switch and use its signal to trigger the garage doors and gates via the Niko Home Control programming software:

In case of bus wiring

Create a connection to external system.
Use the the inversion setting in case your keypad or MiFare reader is normally closed.
Create a condition, where the IF part is the connection to external system.
Use the THEN part to trigger your garage door or gate.

In case of traditional wiring

Create a push-button extension.
Assign the push-button extension to the extension button input (E1) of the connected switch.
Set the operating mode of the push-button extension on “push-button mode”.
Create a virtual device.
Link a basic action between the push-button extension and the virtual device.
Create a condition, where the IF part is the virtual device.
Use the THEN or ELSE part to trigger your garage door or gate:
1. Use the THEN part in case your keypad or MiFare reader is normally open.
2. Use the ELSE part in case your keypad or MiFare reader is normally closed.
