What is a basic action?

When do you use a basic action?

Creating a basic action is the easiest and fastest way to create an action between controls and devices. On the other hand, the behaviour of this type of action is always pre-defined. This means that you cannot add any additional functions. If you want to add greater intelligence to an action, you must use a routine.

What is the behaviour of a basic action and which controls and devices can be combined?

Device	Control	Behaviour	Remarks
lamp switched socket outlet switched ventilator other switched device virtual device	generic control points touchscreen, Digital black and Niko Home app	switching on or off
dimmable lighting circuit dimmable socket outlet analogue output 0-10 V analogue output 1-10 V	generic control points dimming control touchscreen, Digital black and Niko Home app	switching on or off dimming	(1)

Generic controls and dimming controls cannot be combined in the same action.

(2)

Generic controls and motor controls cannot be combined in the same action.
All device within one basic action must be the same type.

The best way to connect several loudspeakers is to connect one loudspeaker with the Niko Home Control and group the others using the Sonos or the Bose app.
