HomeMatic IP

Most devices from HomeMatic IP configure themselves when they learn The division of the entire building area on the room level helps in this. For example, if you have a wireless socket in a room and then add a light switch, it is automatically set up to switch the socket on and off. The temperature of a new heating thermostat also follows the heat flow of the existing room thermostats without programming - just as you can expect from a good plug-and-play system. If required, complex, cross-device automation processes for indoor and outdoor use are also possible.

Access point with secure remote access

The communication with the wireless Home Control Access point as a link is radio-based and works in the interference-resistant frequency band around 868 megahertz. You do not need to lay additional cables, was advantageous in rented business premises or in larger commercial units.

The access point uses the advanced IPv6 address system to address components such as thermostats or contact sensors. It is connected via the Internet to the actual Homematic center called Cloud-Service, so it requires a constant Internet connection. This means that flexible remote access via the app is also permanently integrated while traveling. Communication with the cloud center is fully encrypted and therefore secure. To see if everything is in order in the business, just look at your smartphone – and feel safe even if you're hundreds of miles away.
The data stored in the cloud service is anonymous. Conclusions on the identity of the user and individual user behavior are excluded.

Comfort automation by means of rules

A highlight of the greatly improved HomeMatic IP-App for your Smartphone is the menu item "Automation". In addition, you can create individual rules around your living spaces in just a few steps, which then run independantly. For example, "If window contact is open, then switch socket on for 20 minutes" or "Activate envelope protection alarm mode at 20:00". Another rule can then switch off the building surveillance again in the morning. A rule consists of at least one trigger that initiates one or more actions. You can also specify whether the actions are to be performed only under certain conditions, such as at a certain room temperature or when the windows are closed.  

Combine HomeMatic IP with Smart Home Center CCU2 or CCU3

For technically demanding automation solutions, Homematic IP building automation can be combined with the smart home central CCU. The CCU control center is the alternative to the control panel via the HomeMatic IP Access point. Unlike the access point operation via smartphone app via the Homematic IP Cloud, the CCU allows individual, purely local configuration and control of the Homematic IP system via the WebUI configuration interface in the web browser.

The browser-based user interface can be accessed on desktop PCs, notebooks, tablets and smartphones. You can create direct connections between devices and define interactions that ensure reliable and fail-safe operation even when the Internet connection fails.

By using a central CCU, both wired and wireless components from HomeMatic, HomeMatic IP and HomeMatic IP Wired product lines can be combined into a single automation system. The interaction and uniform instrumentation of the various Homematic products creates a cross-system building automation with great individualization potential. You can select from the entire Homematic product range the components that best meet your requirements.

The use of all HomeMatic product lines at the CCU2 headquarters is currently fully supported. Homematic IP devices can be used to supplement existing Homematic systems. At the same price, the Homematic IP devices offer additional functions compared to their predecessor models.

The CCU3 panel is based on powerful 64-bit hardware with 4-core ARM processor and GB flash memory. An AES-encryption with 128 bit provides for high communication security. Two USB host ports are available for possible extensions.

Voice control with Amazon and Google Assistant

Dim the light, regulate the room temperature or open the shutters in the bedroom: With HomeMatic IP, no pressure on a button or a grip to the smartphone is necessary. Just say "OK Google, put the heater on 23 degrees" or "Alexa, put light on 50 percent". The integration of the language assistants of Amazon (Echo family) and Google (Google Home) makes the use of your building technology even more intuitive. By calling you can control the lighting and heating, control shutters and blinds or switch on the room monitoring.

Good to know: Safety functions prevent third-party control. For example, you can choose which devices your voice assistant can access.  

What are the areas of application for HomeMatic IP?

The selection in the Homematic range covers almost every area in the building and additional components are presented every few months. Third-party manufacturers may also develop their own products for the system.

VDE confirms safety of HomeMatic IP

No compromise in function and security – the Homematic IP products

HomeMatic IP Wired for the house and building bus

HomeMatic IP Wired is the smart home product range of EQ-3, which is not based on radio and batteries, but is wired. Unlike the Homematic IP radio components, HomeMatic IP Wired is mainly installed in the electrical distribution box. From there, for example, lights, sockets, shutters or blinds in the object can be automated. The direct connection of the devices by cable enables a reliable, interference-free and secure communication among each other.

Due to the cabling effort HomeMatic IP Wired is recommended for new buildings and modernization. The wired version is well suited for offices, commercial premises, hotels, schools and kindergartens. The installation is designed for easy installation by a specialist. The bus is connected by means of a plug and connected to all cables, the DIN rail devices have a VDE safety certification.

The HomeMatic IP Wired bus supports the construction of a ring topology. The bus assembly in the ring offers a high level of fail-safety. In the event of a line interruption, communication simply continues via two independant bus lines.
HomeMatic IP Wired can be configured optionally with and without cloud access.

• HomeMatic IP Wired should install the
  system locally, the setup and administration is done via the Smart Home Center CCU3 in connection with the HomeMatic IP Wired Access point. The entire configuration then runs through the web browser.
• Install HomeMatic IP Wired with Cloud Control
  for Cloud Operation Connect HomeMatic IP Wired Access point to the Internet. The CCU3 control center is not required in this version and is optional. To configure and operate the system, including remote access on the go, use the free smartphone apps for iOS or Android.

In the local operating mode and also by adding the CCU3 smart home center in the cloud operating mode, the system can be combined with many wireless Homematic IP products.
