Hi,
Thank you for your contribution.
Iâm looking forward to testing it. Iâll install it over the weekend.
I have the Niko Home push interface behind all the switches in the house, and I would really love to be able to start a flow from these. Same with the virtual flag on Digital Black.
If thatâs something youâd like to make, Iâd be happy to test it.
I donât have the motor module, but otherwise Iâll go through the rest over the weekend. 
Hey @Andreas_Soll
I donât have those push buttons myself but they should work if there is an action tied to them (like turning on a light)
I checked the niko API documentation and virtual flags seem quite simple to implement (page 76) so Iâll add it to my list.
If you find any bugs please let me know!
Hi @georgechoustoulakis
Iâm not the best at development, but Iâm doing my best. Hereâs what Iâve found so far â hopefully itâs useful.
I can confirm that the push-button interface doesnât work âdirectlyâ in the sense that I canât listen for an actual button press via MQTT. I donât get a dedicated âbutton pressedâ event from the push-button interface itself. Instead, I only see the effect of the press â for example a dimmer changing state â as a devices.status message (On/Off) on the UUID of the device/action that the button is linked to. So the input can only be detected indirectly through whatever the button controls.
To get a cleaner input signal, I also tested binding the push-button interface directly to a virtual flag in Niko Home Control. That works really well: the button toggles the flag, and then in MQTT you can simply listen to the flagâs Status (True/False). So it is possible to use push-buttons as an input, but only if you build it using virtual flags. Itâs a bit of a âworkaroundâ and adds extra (and slightly confusing) configuration, but we can only work with what we have.
I was hoping to get clear short/long-press events, but I donât see those as separate events in MQTT in my setup.
I have a really good contact at Niko Home in Denmark, if at some point you find something where it would make sense to get their help.
Hi,
iâm very impressed/happy with this App. Ever since Niko stopped the support of IFTTT i was looking for an alternative!
is it in your roadmap to also support âNHC routinesâ (like âeverything OFFâ). this could be useful to e.g. enable your alarm when the âeverything OFFâ routine is enabled.
kind regards,
Floris
Hey Floris, thanks for trying out the app!
Nikoâs documentation for the âNHC All Off Actionâ is very simple so I will add it to my list. 
@FlorisVandeVijver The all-off routine has been added to the latest test version. Should be approved in a couple of days, but you can already download/test it here:
it works perfectly!
Thanks a lot (this allows me to skip the NHC to GoogleHome integration completely as the response/trigger time was really bad)
Hy does it also work with Niko home control For traditional wiring ?
yes, as long as you have Niko Home Controller (with Hobby API)
Okay I have the bhv controller are there any tutorials or howtoâs avialiable ? Thx
on what do you need a tutorial?
- how to add a NHC device to Homey?
- how to get access to NHC hobby API?
- âŚ
Both please 
just getting started with homey 
Hey all, Iâll work on a step-by-step guide on how to setup Homey + NHC2 since I the app is installed many times by people but not all have successfully added a connected-controller.
Here are some stats for those interested:
55 total installs:
Only 48 connected-controller:
Devices over time:
@FlorisVandeVijver already 15 âall-offâ routines added, so I guess there was demand for this 
Under development. Current status:
Iâd like to make this but I donât have these devices. Will be attempted somewhere in the future.
