Review 2025: How Homematic IP makes the home even more convenient

2025 marked a special milestone for Homematic IP. Ten years after its market launch, the smart home system stands for a sophisticated combination of technology, convenience and reliability. In its anniversary year, numerous innovations were presented that make life in the connected home even easier and more enjoyable - from smart heating and outdoor areas to access and security.
 

Ten years of smart home - developed for everyday life

Since 2015, Homematic IP has continued to evolve - with a clear focus on practical solutions for modern living. Today, the smart home system comprises more than 200 components that can be flexibly combined. In 2025 alone, 20 new products were introduced. At the same time, the focus was on ease of use, modern design and intuitive app use so that smart technology reliably supports everyday life without making it more complicated.
 

Design meets convenience: New products for modern living spaces

With the new glass series Homematic IP 2025 sets a clear example for sophisticated living. The Red Dot Design Award-winning product range impresses with high-quality glass surfaces and matching frames in two color variants that integrate harmoniously into modern living concepts without sacrificing proven smart home functions. Light, shading or scenes can be conveniently controlled and individually adapted to your own lifestyle.

Smart heating has also been made even more convenient. The new floor heating controller with eight channels allows flexible room control and is a useful addition to the existing system. This allows heat to be provided exactly where it is needed - for a pleasant room climate and efficient energy use.
 

Smart support outdoors

In the garden, the watering actuator provides noticeable relief in everyday life. Watering times can be automated, flow rates monitored and adapted to weather conditions. The result: healthy plants with minimal effort.
 

Access rethought: DoorBird seamlessly integrated

Another highlight over the course of the year was the integration of the DoorBird video door intercom systems into the Homematic IP smart home system. The Homematic IP app can be used to conveniently bundle door communication and access - from live video view and intercom function to opening the door via app. The seamless cloud-to-cloud connection adds a powerful access solution to the system and strengthens Homematic IP's claim to be a holistic smart home system for greater convenience and security in everyday life.
 

Open for individual solutions: Connect API

With the Connect API for the Homematic IP Home Control Unit, the 2025 system has opened up further for individual requirements. Technically savvy users can implement their own extensions and integrate additional services. The first community projects show how flexibly the smart home system can be adapted to personal wishes.
 

Outlook: Taking convenience to the next level

After a successful anniversary year, Homematic IP is continuing on its path. New product and software highlights will be presented at Light + Building 2026 in Frankfurt.
