How to transfer your Homematic IP Cloud installation to the Home Control Unit

2. Start the system transfer

Now the actual transfer process begins. You start this in the device settings of the Home Control Unit. Please note the following points:

• Create installation report: Save the current settings by generating an installation report.
• Check device availability: Some devices may not be directly accessible after the transfer. If necessary, restart them.
• Reconfigure users & additional services: User accounts, smartwatches and additional services must be reconfigured.
• Recouple Hue devices: If you use Philips Hue, you will need to integrate them into the app again using the Plugin.
• Admin rights required: The smartphone you use to start the transfer requires admin rights. Have your admin PIN ready.

4. Performing the data transfer

Now the actual data transfer begins:

• Switch off the Access Point: Disconnect the Access Point from the power supply (pull out the plug) so that the transfer can proceed smoothly.
• The transfer can take up to six minutes. During this time, the Home Control Unit lights up orange.
• Once the data has been successfully transferred, you will receive a confirmation in the app.

6. Done! The system has been transferred

Congratulations! Your Homematic IP system now runs entirely via the Home Control Unit.
With this simple change, you can enjoy more convenience and flexibility in your smart home.

If you want to make adjustments later, all settings are available to you in the Homematic IP app.
