Mysterious – The Invisible Switch from Niko The antidote to wall switches, Niko’s award-winning latest innovation is a virtually invisible wall switch. Using Niko’s Mysterious Switch, the wall is left to look as if it is completely free of any switches, except in the dark, when there is a subtle glow of LEDs surrounding the embedded switch to guide users towards it. A simple round push-button that is embedded into the wall, Mysterious is so robust and flexible that it can be covered in the same material as the rest of the wall to seamlessly blend in. Whether your choice of wallcovering is wallpaper, paint, or even panelling, the Mysterious Switch from Niko can blend in completely. A single press switches it on, with the top half and the bottom half having different instructions. There is a matching orientation lighting system using blue or white LEDs to guide your way without the need for more conventional lighting, which is activated either by a switch or motion sensor. Blending in with traditional and modern interiors, Mysterious is the ultimate for subtle good taste in every living environment.
Nikobus All of Niko’s switches work off of our Nikobus system. A totally flexible approach to Home Automation, Nikobus is easily installed, easily programmed and easily expanded - allowing for design, planning, and easy programming with or without a PC. Although each control module contains a bus power supply, only one of these power supplies is active for the entire installation – with the others taking over automatically should a defect occur with the first bus power supply. This guarantees that the Nikobus keeps working at all times. In the field of lighting control and home automation, Niko provides a ‘Feature-Full’ system.

Similarly, the Connection Unit used with the wallmounted printed circuit boards to the Nikobus, can be placed horizontally or vertically with multiple circuit boards – making them fully, and easily, upgradeable. Niko’s Nikobus PCBs are specifically designed to simply and effectively connect Push Buttons seamlessly with the Nikobus system – for optimum control of your surroundings.
Total Control at the Push of a Button Fixed to the wall via a simple click mechanism, the Push Buttons are available in configurations of 2, 4 & 8 buttons and can be quickly and easily changed in case you require more functionality, or simply feel like a change of décor. Optional feedback LEDs and an IR Receiver mean that you always are in total control of your surroundings, wherever you may be in your home. Whether you’re watching TV, listening to music, or even hosting a party, Niko’s unique range of Push Buttons can control either individual appliances – or an entire series of pre-programmed environments – to provide the perfect scenario and background for whatever your lifestyle requires with ease at the push of a button.
