The brand is based on the 14 years of expertise of its group, eQ-3 AG (former member of the ELV group created in 1978), leader in the field of smart homes and energy efficiency in Germany.
Home automation at your fingertips
Homematic IP home automation solutions were created to offer the consumer market products that are particularly simple to connect, easy to use and with a high level of security. They are equally well suited to a construction or renovation project, and whether the user is homeownership or rental.
The German brand's offer is based on the installation of the Homematic IP Access Point central unit, a compact box connected to the wired network and on the use of the Homematic IP application (available for Android and iOS).
It is distinguished by the use of individual QR codes, supplied with each product, allowing them to be easily connected to the Homematic IP home automation system via the application. The lack of a wifi connection to connect the Access Point control panel (via an RJ45 cable) and the use of QR codes to connect the various products makes it possible to maintain the level of security at its maximum.
Another strong point, the creation of an account is not required to use the application, so the user does not enter any personal data concerning him in order to preserve his privacy. This phase, as well as the operation, is completely anonymous.
Homematic IP is also the only Smart Home system to have been distinguished by the German Federation of Electrical Engineering, VDE, for the security of its protocol, its computer system and its data.
A full range of connected products
Homematic IP home automation solutions use the brand's unique protocol based on the latest generation IPv6 protocol, perfectly suited to the Internet of Things (IoT). Thanks to this protocol, all Homematic IP devices have their own IPv6 address to communicate within the system, thus making it possible to record information and statuses directly on the devices - without going through the cloud. This direct pass-through also increases security and minimizes latency, resulting in faster order fulfillment.
The solution can be flexibly extended at any time: all products communicate by radio and can therefore be installed very easily in the home. The 868 MHz frequency of the Homematic IP wireless protocol has the advantage of being robust and reliable: there is no interference caused by WLAN, Bluetooth or other radio standards operating with the frequency band 2,4 , XNUMX GHz.
Thanks to the complete catalog of Homematic IP products, which is constantly enriched, it is possible to automate all the worlds of the house to adapt to individual lifestyles. The brand has home automation solutions (starter kits and individual equipment) to secure and monitor the house inside and out, to manage and control the heating, but also to control lighting and doors.
The Homematic IP cloud service provides free access (no monitoring or contract fees) to remote devices and continuous viewing of their status. If the configuration and operation phases require an Internet connection, the basic functions remain available at any time, even offline!
The Homematic IP system additionally offers cloud-based automation functions to easily create
personalized atmospheres and scenarios - for example to enjoy a pleasant evening in front of the television, the ceiling lighting goes off, the backlighting comes on and the roller shutters in the living room close.
It is even possible to trigger scenarios according to the weather, sunset or sunrise, the time or even according to the information transmitted by the sensors.
The system also works with Amazon Alexa and the Google Home Assistant, to control your home automation system by voice with Homematic IP products but also devices from other manufacturers. Open system interfaces are used for connection to other IoT platforms (Conrad Connect, Mediola ...).
