Homematic: How modern smart home works

With Homematic, you can enter the world of the smart home without any problems. And the best thing is: At Berrybase you can buy the smart home modules of the renowned brand online at low prices. We tell you why you are backing the right horse with Homematic.

Homematic IP transforms your home into a smart home without much effort

Homematic provides an excellent basis for an automated home in conjunction with the smart home control panel CCU3. The way it works is kept quite simple. The hub of the network is the access point. Before you can enjoy all the benefits of a smart home, you first need to configure it. The most important step in this process is to connect the access point via network cable. The rest of the configuration process is done via the Homematic smartphone app. The key here is to simply follow all the steps that are displayed to you. Once the installation is complete, you can integrate any smart home module from Homematic into the system. By the way, the Homematic IP Access Point is reliably encrypted, providing maximum security.

State-of-the-art thermostats for an optimal indoor climate

If you want to equip your home with smart home modules from Homematic IP, however, you should first be aware of what options the portfolio has in store. This much can be revealed: The areas of application in which Homematic products can be used are extraordinarily diverse.

With the Homematic IP radiator thermostat, for example, you can control your radiators by voice command or remotely. This allows you to turn up the heating on your way home from work, for example, which can be a great advantage especially during the cold season. In addition, you can configure certain routines that correspond to your everyday habits. For example, you can have living areas that are not used at night not heated until the morning. With three adjustable heating profiles and up to 13 possible changes daily, the Homematic IP radiator thermostat proves to be extremely flexible and efficient. This is not only good for the environment, but also for your wallet. Because: With the right setting, you can save up to 30 percent on heating costs. Saving has never been so convenient. Tip: The Evo radiator thermostat from Homematic IP has turned out to be a particularly popular smart home module. Thanks to the digital temperature display, you can use the product to quickly and easily bring about the desired conditions.

To optimize the indoor climate in your home in an even more efficient way, the Homematic IP wall thermostat with humidity sensor is a great choice. Place this anywhere in your home so that it can measure the temperature and humidity in the room in question. No complex wiring is required, as it is powered by batteries. As a result, the installation of the module is very simple. By the way: The wall thermostat does not necessarily have to be integrated into a smart home system from Homematic IP. Instead, you can also link it with smart home modules from many other manufacturers - or you can just use it purely as a source of information. However, Homematic not only offers you smart thermostats for your heating and wall, but also has many other components ready for your automated home. With the Homematic IP shutter actuator, for example, you can also integrate your shutters into your smart home system. Simply equip the corresponding switches with the smart actuator and perform the necessary configuration steps. You can then have your roller shutters open and close automatically. No matter whether this should depend on certain times of day, the position of the sun, certain weather conditions or other individual factors: The innovative Homematic IP roller shutter actuators fulfill your every wish. Apart from that, the modules work maximally inconspicuously, because they are simply integrated into the already existing switch series.

Homematic: For maximum security within your own four walls

For all of us, our own home is a very sensitive place where we can relax and lull ourselves into complete security. To ensure that this does not change, the home should be equipped with effective security mechanisms in any case. The smart home products from Homematic are perfect for this purpose. With the smart Homematic IP door lock, for example, you can ensure that your apartment or front door is locked even when you are on the move. Automated routines can also be configured at your personal request. For example, you can arrange for the door to be locked every evening at a certain time. Conversely, the door can also be opened or unlocked by remote control. This can be useful if you accidentally lock yourself out and have not deposited a spare key. This does not require any complex retrofitting. The Homematic IP door lock is simply mounted on the existing lock and configured.

The Homematic IP door and window contact also helps you feel completely safe within your four walls. The intelligent smart home component notifies you via app as soon as a door or window has been opened. This effective system allows you to react quickly - which is not least an advantage when you are on the move. However, the Homematic IP door and window contact is not only a practical tool for your security. When you connect the module to your Homematic IP radiator thermostat and open your windows and doors, the thermostat adjusts the room climate accordingly. This saves energy and reduces your heating costs. In addition, the window contact can be easily adapted to the look of the respective window with the help of a white or brown cover cap. This gives the module a pleasantly discreet appearance.

However, security in your own home does not only mean deterring uninvited guests. Fire and smoke development also represent a danger to life and limb. Technical defects and carelessness - even on the part of neighbors - can unfortunately quickly lead to fires. What is needed here is an intelligent fire alarm. Our recommendation: Equip your rooms with the Homematic IP smoke detector! The smart home module reliably informs you about smoke development - and not only in the form of a loud siren, but also via the Homematic app. This means that if the worst comes to the worst, you will receive a notification even when you are on the move and can take the appropriate steps. Practical: The signal is forwarded to all smoke detectors that are installed in the respective household. This means, for example, that you will be alerted to smoke development even if you are on another floor. In addition, the Homematic IP smoke detector scores with an integrated LED emergency light, which can prove to be an enormous help in the dark. Due to all these quality features, the product was quite rightly awarded the coveted Q-label by the KRIWAN test center.

Making electrical appliances "smart" is easy - with the Homematic IP power socket.

If you want to make electrical appliances such as your TV or HiFi system "smart" in no time at all, we recommend the Homematic IP socket. This makes it easy to regulate the power supply - even remotely. This not only saves valuable energy, but is also easy on your wallet. Because even when your TV is not in use, it still consumes power in standby mode. Of course, an automated routine can be set in this case as well. For example, you can arrange for your electrical appliances to disconnect from the power supply at a certain time every day without your intervention. Furthermore, the easy-to-install Homematic IP switchable sockets can be used to extend the range of a wireless signal.

Advantages of Homematic

Homematic offers smarthome products that make your everyday life much easier. Whether you want to upgrade your room air conditioners, are looking for state-of-the-art equipment in the field of security technology, or need smart home modules to operate your home lights remotely:

Homematic has the optimal product for your needs - discreet in appearance and easy to configure. Easily control your devices remotely or via voice assistants like Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. However, a home control system from Homematic not only makes your everyday life easier and more relaxed. Rather, you can also save money with the right smart home equipment. Because the right components and optimal application can save a considerable amount of energy. Smart Home is therefore much more than just the automation of lighting, room climate and Co.

How the various smart home modules communicate with each other

Communication between the Homematic IP access point and the various smart home components is mostly via radio. Of course, this makes handling particularly uncomplicated and offers maximum flexibility. However, there is another alternative: Homematic IP Wired. This is a wired network that was developed for more ambitious smart home functions. Interference immunity and stability are much higher here than with the wireless solution. In terms of user-friendliness, however, the Homematic IP Wired products are on a similarly high level.

The installation is of course a bit more complex, but all cables can be placed in your wall. This means that the visual appearance of your home is not affected. Hybrid solutions - i.e. components with and without wire in combination - can also be implemented.
