The Velux 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 roof window when pressing the leaving the house button).

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