Dimming lights – so easily via a socket

There's hardly anything more relaxing than being woken up in the morning by the first rays of sunshine. Homematic IP enables you to simulate the sunrise. Easily connect your bedside light or other lights to a pluggable dimmer. And determine when you want which lighting scene.

Switching and dimming light the intelligent way

You can easily adapt the lights to your everyday life and so create individual lighting moods. And you can do that at any time you like - also depending on events such as sunrise and sunset.

You can switch and dim almost all conventional lights almost infinitely as desired: grouped together, individually automated, via Homematic IP pushbuttons and remote controls, by voice command, directly on the device or via your smartphone - at home and when you're out and about.

The intelligent socket

Installation is child's play: just plug it into a standard socket - and you're done!

The pluggable dimmer is so compact that it doesn't block any adjacent sockets.

Quiet and versatile

The dimming actuator works completely silently together with many different modern lights, including those with particularly low current loads.

Suitable lights:

Dimmable LEDs
Dimmable energy-saving lamps
Traditional incandescent lamps
HV halogen lamps
LV halogen lamps with electronic transformer
