ProductNews Access control gets even smarter
DoorBird and Homematic IP are now networked – making them even more convenient and secure.
C
loud-to-cloud integration between DoorBird and Homematic IP has already been announced and will be released with the 3.5.12 Homematic IP app update. Users will benefit from improved convenience, increased security and seamless communication right from the Homematic IP app. DoorBird door stations are pioneering the field of door communication. The multiple award-winning products are now becoming part of the Homematic IP smart home system. The 3.5.12 update for the free Homematic IP app, which will be rolled out gradually from May 27, 2025, allows users to establish a secure cloud- to-cloud connection between their DoorBird video door station and their Homematic IP installation. This
makes it all the more convenient and simple to control access to your smart home.
If a visitor comes to the door and rings the bell, the Homematic IP app will inform the residents by push notification. Then all they have to do is tap to speak to the guest directly: All video and audio signals are transmitted straight to the Homematic IP app. If users then want to let the visitor in, just one more tap will do the trick – simple, fast and secure.
As a Homematic IP partner product, the DoorBird video door station can be freely combined with many components of the smart home system, for example with a Homematic IP door lock drive. You can also use the DoorBird device’s integrated switching relay, motion detector, or the doorbell button
and your DoorBird device’s access module for intelligent automation as required.
The integration is available to all customers with a Homematic IP Access Point, or a Homematic IP Home Control Unit and the free
Homematic IP app from version 3.5.12, which will be gradually rolled out to all users from May 27, 2025. All D11 and D21-series DoorBird video door stations are supported.
