HomeMatic IP Wired for the house and building bus
Modern smart home system for self-makers
HomeMatic IP is available in two variants: As a radio system and completely new also in the HomeMatic IP Wired variant as a permanently wired bus solution. The Homematic IP wireless solution is a good choice if you are looking for a secure, flexible, wireless and reliable wireless system that you can implement in-house. The particularly robust, fault-tolerant and noise-resistant HomeMatic IP Wired home and building bus system is recommended for demanding automation tasks in the business area and industry, which are implemented by the specialist installer.
To start with the HomeMatic IP wireless system, you don't even need a computer: With the Homematic IP app on your smartphone, you can scan the QR codes to the Homematic IP components – light switches, motion detectors or temperature sensors are programd and ready for use. The free app is available for Android and iOS. You can control your system in everyday life via the app, the individual devices and an optional key remote control.
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.
Our practical tip: Internet connection for HomeMatic IP
HomeMatic IP as a cloud system makes Internet connection particularly important - for example, when adding devices, changing settings and status queries. If you experience a short-term disruption to your Internet connection, the entire smart home system will not be the same. Thanks to direct links between individual Homematic-IP components, such as wall switches and radio sockets, wall thermostats and floor heating motors or several smoke detectors in the network, these device pairs work temporarily even without an online connection. However, changes to the system are not possible during this time.
What are the benefits of HomeMatic IP?
- Wide range of devices: The module selection includes wireless smoke detectors, switches, motion detectors, sensors for window and door handles, alarm sirens and more.
- Compatible systems: Connect your HomeMatic IP to compatible devices and systems from other manufacturers via the smartphone app or the web user interface.
- Get started quickly: Starter sets like the radio heating control set or the radio safety set Plus contain all the necessary components for starting in your own smart home.
- Easy to use: The Homematic-IP-App is clearly structured and shows you all the IP-components in a room-by-room overview.
- Spoken instructions: Control your Homematic IP devices with Amazon Alexa on call with commands like "Alexa, turn on the light".
- BI-directional communication: The acknowledgment of all radio commands to sensors and devices ensures security, so that the respective status of the device is clear at all times.
- Power-saving battery operation: Many of the Homematic IP components are battery-operated. This simplifies the use of the devices even in existing buildings.
- Uncompromising security: Encryption and authentication of data packets with the AES-128 and CCM algorithms, which are also used in online banking.
- Fault-tolerant building bus installation: In the HomeMatic IP Wired variant, all communication can be carried out via a fail-safe ring topology.
- No follow-up costs, no contract: No monthly or annual fees are charged for the use of HomeMatic IP and you do not need to register.
- Adapter for brand switch: Flush-mounted actuators for brand switches from Berker, Busch Jaeger, Düwi, Gira, Jung, Kopp and Merten make existing electrical installations without replacing the existing smart switches.
- Privacy: At no time do you need to provide personal information such as name, email address or mobile phone number in the app.
- Server location Germany: The control of your Homematic IP system runs exclusively on German servers and the operation is completely anonymous.
- Investment protection: For use as a corporate solution and for landlords, the continuation of the Homematic IP product line guaranteed by the manufacturer is advantageous until at least 31.12.2030.

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.

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.
Lights
Control the entire lighting within the individual living rooms, in the garden and on the terrace comfortably via app. This is done automatically via motion sensors and door contacts when entering or leaving the living rooms, via twilight sensors or according to your individual time specifications. With the Homematic-IP switch actuator for mounting in flush-mounted sockets, even large consumers such as corridor or garden lighting systems with up to 16 ampere can be controlled comfortably.
Room climate
Room climate devices from HomeMatic IP allow for demand-oriented control of the radiators throughout the house and thus enable energy savings of up to 30 percent. Door and window contacts detect when you ventilate, and send a control signal to lower the heater. There are also easy-to-retrofit Homematic IP underfloor heating controls, which provide wireless signal control between the wall thermostat and the floor heating actuator.
Security
HomeMatic IP warns in case of alarm and discourages burglars. When "envelope protection" is activated, the system triggers an alarm if windows or doors are opened without authorization. If "full protection" is activated, motion sensors for indoor use are also included in the monitoring. The alarm function of your new Homematic IP system can be armed at any time after installation via the free app or the practical keychain remote control.
IP components also for HomeMatic
Manufacturer EQ-3 offers two independant home automation solutions with HomeMatic system, which has been available for around ten years and the newer HomeMatic IP. HomeMatic is the popular classic among the smart home solutions, in which the connection of devices is purely local, i.e. without Internet connection, via the CCU2-center. The newer Homematic IP components can also be taught in to this system. This allows you to expand your existing Homematic system as needed and continue to use the IP devices when you switch to HomeMatic IP later.
VDE confirms safety of HomeMatic IP
Within the scope of an extensive test, HomeMatic IP's high safety standard was approved by VDE (Association of Electrical Engineering Electronics Information Technology e. V.) certified. This means: HomeMatic IP meets important safety standards and prevents the reading and modification of all transmitted data by attackers.
The EQ-3 home automation system is the first smart building system in the world to certify IT and data security as well as the security of the radio protocol and thus the end-to-end security by the VDE-certification. VDE certification includes a detailed examination of the smartphone app, the cloud software and the home access point as a gateway in the house – and for the first time also the certification of the radio protocol used.
