Homematic IP is a German home automation system from eQ-3 in Leer. It covers heating, security, lighting and shading, with an Access Point or a CCU3 acting as the hub, and the accompanying app is free with no subscription attached.
Devices communicate over an encrypted radio protocol and the system carries VDE certified security, which together with German manufacturing makes it a European alternative to the American smart home ecosystems. It suits households that want heating and security automation without a monthly fee.
