Access control is now getting even smarter: Cloud-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 the 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.
They can also use the DoorBird device’s integrated switching relay, motion detector, or the doorbell button and the 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. All D11 and D21-series DoorBird video door stations are supported.
The cloud-to-cloud connection of both systems meets the highest standards of data protection and security. Ralph Bertelt, CEO of eQ-3 AG: “The entire communication between Homematic IP and DoorBird is fully encrypted and complies with the latest security standards, thereby preventing information from falling into the wrong hands.”
“The Homematic IP Cloud is also hosted exclusively on servers in Germany and is therefore subject to the highest security standards. In 2024, the VDE (Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies) certified our system in the areas of protocol, IT, and data security for the eighth time in a row.”
With Homematic IP, DoorBird is expanding the possibilities that intelligent building automation has to offer with a high-quality solution for IP door communication.
This integration allows access to be seamlessly connected to smart home controls. Users benefit from increased security, greater convenience, and a fully networked home.
