Why Rako RK-HUB

The Ethernet hub for a Rako wireless (Rakom RF) system

The Hub

Joins the wireless lighting system to the home network, so the same scenes run from the keypad and from the Rako app.

Rako app

Control rooms, scenes and channels from iPhone or Android. Voice assistants and timed events run through this Hub.

What the Rako RK-HUB is

The Rako RK-HUB is a network interface for Rako wireless systems. It links the 433.9MHz Rako wireless network to your router over Ethernet, providing app control, a cloud gateway to voice assistants, IP integration with third-party control systems, and automation. The WK-HUB is the version with a Rako wired port for CAT5 systems.

Where it sits in a Rako system

The RK-HUB talks to Rako wireless modules such as the RMT-500 and keypads such as the RK-EOS-6. RASOFT Pro connects to it over the network for programming, and its NFC pad programs Rako NFC products, so it can do the job of a RAMPI. The project file uploaded to the Hub is what the Rako app uses. Where reception is weak, add a WRB100 repeater. See the Rako Hub range.

What it adds

  • Rako app control and IP integration with third-party control systems
  • Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple Home via a my.rakocontrols.com account
  • Sonos and BlueSound audio integration templates
  • Timed events, including dawn and dusk
  • Mappings, and up to 60 macros of up to 32 steps each
  • Holiday mode, replaying recorded activity

Power and connection

The RK-HUB takes 12V DC through a concentric jack; a 12V power supply is in the box, and Rako names the RAPSU as a suitable supply. It has an RJ45 Ethernet port and a USB 2.0 port, and Rako supplies an Ethernet cable and a 433.9MHz antenna. Rako's RK-HUB manual covers setup.

Fitting

Freestanding on a desk or shelf, or wall mounted using the fixing plate. It measures 150 x 150 x 30mm, weighs 300g and operates from +2°C to +40°C.

Questions

Do I need an RK-HUB for a Rako wireless system?

Not for keypad control: Rako wireless modules respond to keypads directly. You need the RK-HUB for app control, voice assistants, timed events, macros and holiday mode.

Does the Rako RK-HUB work with Alexa, Google Home and Apple Home?

Yes, once the Hub is linked to a my.rakocontrols.com account.

What is the difference between the RK-HUB and the WK-HUB?

The RK-HUB is for Rako wireless systems and runs from a 12V supply. The WK-HUB has a Rako wired port for CAT5 systems.

Can the RK-HUB replace a RAMPI for programming?

Yes. Rako's module manuals list a RAMPI or a Hub as the RASOFT Pro communication device, and the Hub has its own NFC pad.
