niko 552-720X4 Wireless Battery-Powered Switch
Description
This fourfold wireless battery-powered Zigbee® switch allows you to remotely control wireless Zigbee® devices. It can either be used in a Niko Home Control installation (max. fifty Zigbee® devices) or connected to a third-party Zigbee® system as a standard dimmer switch (ON/OFF/ dimming) via EZ-mode pairing. The switch also supports Touchlink or Find&Bind to pair with up to eight Zigbee® receivers (ON/OFF/dimmable actor) for stand-alone use or decentral networks. The wireless Zigbee® switch is battery-powered with a lifetime of at least five years, based on twenty short press actuation a day. The variant with a plastic baseplate (552-72004) is used for wall installation. Fixation is possible with double-sided adhesive tape (included) or screws (excluded). For flush-mounting box installation, use variant 552-72014 together with the metal baseplate (552-720X0) suitable for your region.

Install the fourfold wireless battery-powered Zigbee® switch within 10 m of a Zigbee® receiver. Battery-powered Zigbee® devices act as endpoints and do not support Zigbee® mesh networking. For more information on Zigbee® network principles and signal range, consult guide.niko.eu.
Installation
Battery replacement
Stand-alone use
The fourfold wireless battery-powered Zigbee® switch (522-720X4) can be used in stand-alone mode without a gateway. In this mode, each control button can be paired with Zigbee® receivers (ON/OFF/dimming). The fourfold switch can be paired with up to eight Zigbee® receivers in total, such as a smart Zigbee® 3.0 lamp. Pairing is done via Touchlink or Find&Bind.
Touchlink pairing
Reset all Zigbee® devices if they were previously connected to another
Zigbee® network. See § Reset. For Find&Bind pairing consult
guide.niko.eu
Connected use
Connected to a Niko Home Control installation
More advanced functionalities become available if you connect this device to
your wireless smart hub (552-00001) or wireless bridge (550-00640) using the
Niko Home Control programming software or Niko Home app. Consult guide.niko.eu
for more information about the installation and the connected use.
How to connect the Niko device to the Niko Home Control network
- Reset the Niko Zigbee® device if it is already connected to another network.
- Follow the onboarding procedure in the Niko Home Control programming software or the Niko Home app to add new Niko Zigbee® devices.
- Set the Niko Zigbee® device in EZ-mode by pressing the switch button 3 x within 6 seconds > see the image on ‘EZ-mode pairing’. The blue PROGRAM LED starts blinking for max. 90 seconds.
- The Zigbee® device is successfully added to the Niko Home Control installation when the blue PROGRAM LED is ON for 4 seconds and then turns OFF again.
EZ-mode pairing
Connected to a third-party Zigbee® network
The fourfold wireless battery-powered Zigbee® switch can be connected to a
third-party network via EZ-mode pairing. Refer to the third-party software or
smartphone app to link a specific button of the battery-powered Zigbee® switch
to an actor within the third-party network. You can also use Find&Bind
pairing. Consult guide.niko.eu and the manufacturer’s manual for more
information on using third-party Zigbee® devices in their network. Note that
specific Niko Home Control functions will not be enabled when Niko Zigbee®
devices are connected to a third-party Zigbee® gateway. See also the
