It supports both HomeMatic and Homematic IP devices.

Recommendation:

We recommend installing the app pocket control HM Abo instead of this paid version. You can try it for free and then subscribe to the full range of features for a small annual fee.

Features:

- The house view gives you a quick overview of the status of your house and individual rooms. This way, you can easily see if, for example, windows are open or lights are on. Temperatures inside and outside, as well as alarm and service messages, are also displayed. You can quickly adjust rooms and trades using the app.

- With custom views, which can also contain sub-views, you can arrange devices according to your needs.

- With actions, you can change the state of multiple devices or system variables at once. For example, with one action, you can turn on or dim lights, close shutters, and increase the temperature. Actions can include delays, making it possible to switch devices on and later off. Actions can be saved as shortcuts in the Shortcuts app and used in widgets, as well as activated with Siri.

- You can create and edit programs and system variables directly within the app. This allows you to adjust your home automation remotely.

- Push notifications from the control center to your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch will keep you informed of important events in your home automation. You can specify who the recipient is in the notification. You can choose a sound or mute the notification. These notifications are listed within the app.

- With the geofencing function, you can create up to 10 home zones. Leaving or reaching these home zones is reported to the control center and can be used for further tasks, such as controlling the heating or activating the alarm system.

- You have the option to automate devices based on scheduled times. The control center will automatically execute the commands.

- For many devices, you can create custom icons within the app, making it easier to recognize their status. Special states are made more visible through custom icons.

BATTERY CONSUMPTION

Continuous use of GPS in the background can significantly reduce battery life.

Therefore, the geofencing feature has been optimized.
