The Reyaers functions automatically appear in your Niko Home Control apps and your touchscreens after you activate the link between both systems. These functions can also be combined in routines/actions to control multiple items simultaneously at the simple press of a button (e.g. turn off all the lights and close the window when pressing the leaving the house button).

The available functionality within Niko Home Control depends upon the specific installation features of the Reynaers system.

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 2.1.1 or higher).

  • For each Reynaers Hi-Finity window one or more extra modules are installed in the electrical cabinet.

  • If you want to use the Reynaers functions in combination with Niko Home Control actions, these actions need to be programmed with the  Niko Home Control programming software  before the link is activated.

For each window you need:

  • a Niko Home Control switching module (550-00106 or 550-00103) with 2 free outputs.

  • a Niko Home Control digital potential-free sensor module (550-00210) with 1 or 2 free inputs, if you also want to check the status of the sliding window.
