Why Rako RK-EOS-6

Each button can send commands to several rooms, set up by NFC in RASOFT Pro

On the wall

Replaces a bank of switches. One plate recalls evening, cooking, goodnight — the scene is stored in the system.

Wireless

Talks to in-line modules over Rakom RF. No keypad cable back to a rack.

App as well

With an RK-HUB or WK-HUB, the same scenes also run from the Rako app and from voice assistants.

What the Rako RK-EOS-6 is

The Rako RK-EOS-6 is the keypad electronics for a six-button EOS wireless keypad. The WK-EOS-6 is the wired-system version. It is not usable on its own: an RP-EOS-6 cover plate kit provides the front buttons.

Where it sits in a Rako system

It sends Rako wireless commands to modules such as the RMT-500, including to several rooms from one button. It is programmed with RASOFT Pro through a RAMPI or RK-HUB, both of which offer NFC programming, before it goes into the mounting grid. For surface mounting, use the XCE-EOS-SB pattress.

Ratings and limits

  • Six buttons
  • Blue LED pulse to confirm each transmission
  • Dry locations only

Power and connection

It runs from one CR2032 3V lithium coin cell and communicates by FM radio at 433.9MHz, so no wiring is needed beyond the back box. Keep it accessible for battery changes. Rako's RK-EOS-6 instruction manual covers set-up.

Fitting

Flush mounts into a standard UK single-gang back box; Rako recommends at least 35mm depth. Metal back boxes reduce range. The module measures 50 x 50 x 12mm and weighs 24g; the cover plate is 88 x 88 x 3mm. Rako's plate designer shows the finishes.

Rako app

Scenes from the keypad, and from the phone

This product sits in a Rako system. The keypad on the wall runs the room. With an RK-HUB or WK-HUB, the same scenes also run from the free Rako app.

  • Room scenes from the keypad on the wall
  • App control once an RK-HUB or WK-HUB is on the network
  • Voice, timers and holiday mode from the Hub

The Rako app is published by Rako, and needs an RK-HUB or WK-HUB with firmware 3.7.6 or later.
