What do you need?
The gateway: the essential link
The gateway is the essential link between the wireless switches and the connected switch app. It is connected to the network using a UTP cable, which then makes a secure connection with the internet (4G, 3G, GPRS or a WiFi hotspot). This means that the smartphone application is always up-to-date and ready for use.
Wireless switches: stick them to a wall and theyre ready
Expanding traditional electrical cabling, means destructive masonry work. Anyone familiar with Nikos wireless switches, knows it can be done differently. You can stick, screw or place them anywhere.
Even as a replacement of existing switches, e.g. that one light behind the closet.
Without drilling or channelling you can create a uniform look-and-feel, fully in line with your socket outlets, switches and TV connections as all functions are available in the attractive Niko finishings.
The wireless Niko solutions are ideal for renovating clients looking for a simple, yet robust smart solution.
Wireless receivers: many variants
The wireless receivers controlling devices or lamps are the last link within the Niko connected switch chain. They switch your lights on and off, open and close roll-down shutters and switch your socket outlets on and off.
