About Homematic IP
The constantly growing product range of Homematic IP includes devices for climate control, security, light and shutter control applications as well as various accessory components. Our climate control devices offer demand-based room-by-room control of radiators throughout the entire house, enabling users to save up to 30 % on their energy costs. And also floor heating systems can efficiently be controlled with Homematic IP products. No movement goes unnoticed with our security components. Users are informed whenever windows and doors are opened. One look at the app is enough to find out that everything is all right at home. Comfort is enhanced with our switching and dimming actuators for light control as well as products for automation of shutters and blinds. All Homematic IP devices for brand switches can be easily integrated into the design of existing switch series using our adapters.
The entire Homematic IP solution can be intuitively set up via a free smartphone app (iOS and Android) and conveniently controlled via app, remote control as well as wall mounted push-button. Single devices are configured by the Homematic IP cloud service, which is run exclusively on servers located in Germany and therefore complies with European and German data protection guidelines. All data stored in the Homematic IP cloud is completely anonymous. However, it does not permit any conclusion about the user’s identity and the individual usage behaviour. Furthermore, all communication between the Access Point, cloud and app is encrypted. As neither during nor after installation of the app you will need to provide private data such as name, email address or mobile phone number, your anonymity is protected 100%.
As the devices communicate via radio, they can be retrofitted into houses really easily. All products communicate via the robust and reliable 868 MHz Homematic IP wireless protocol. This means that there is no interference whatsoever from WLAN, Bluetooth or other radio standards operating within the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
Application areas
Security and alarms
No movement goes unnoticed with Homematic IP security components. Our security and alarm products increase the protection against break-ins and the sense of security in the own four walls. In alarm mode, users are informed whenever windows and doors are opened. Our motion detectors offer reliable monitoring in inside and outside areas while sirens and smoke alarms trigger an alarm in case of break-ins or fire. Just a quick glance at the app is all it takes to see that everything is as it should be at home.
Heating and climate control
Homematic IP offers demand-based control of radiators room-by-room in the entire house, enabling increased living comfort and energy savings of up to 30 %. The Homematic IP Window / Door Contact detects open windows and doors and automatically turns down the heating during ventilation. Afterwards, your heating will be controlled automatically and makes the everyday life easier.
Light and shade
Comfortable switching and dimming of lights creates a sense of well-being in your home. Thus, a comfortable atmosphere for your TV evening is created via the app as the ceiling light is dimmed to a desired brightness level while the floor lamp is switched on. Also, the sense of security is increased with an illuminated driveway or house façade in the evening.
Shutters and blinds darken rooms, create a sense of privacy and increase the security. Afterwards, they can be raised or lowered automatically.
The actuators are controlled comfortably via individual week profiles, also depending on the sunrise and sunset. Furthermore, active shutters and blinds make the home look inhabited even if you are not at home.
The Homematic IP Blind Actuators also allow the exact adjustment of the slats position of exterior and interior blinds. If necessary, also awnings can be integrated into the smart home using our products.

The app is mostly doing what it is supposed to do, but it crashes from time to time. Looks like the English translation is not completely implemented yet, “Raum löschen” isn’t quite fitting,... Also the apps language should be able to change within the app, I think that’s a necessary feature, the missing feature brings down my 4 star rating down to 2. UPDATE 02.12.15: "Raum löschen" translation bug fixed, changing to 3 star rating
