Function and device overview

4 Function and device
overview
Floating pushbuttons can be integra-
ted into the Homematic IP system with
relatively little effort in conjunction
with the Homematic IP contact inter-
face. This means conventional push-
buttons can be retrofitted flexibly with
Homematic IP functions and devices so
that objects such as lights and shutters
can benefit from intelligent controls.
The compact housing means the con-
tact interface can be mounted flexibly
inside a flush-mounted box. Existing
switches or switch series can continue
to be used without any additional ins-
tallation effort.
The free Homematic IP smartphone
app even allows switches and mag-
netic contacts to be connected to the
contact interface to facilitate conveni-
ent wireless communication.
The durable, replaceable lithium bat-
tery has a service life of up to 2 years –
the device does not need to be con-
nected to the power supply.
