Description
Pocket control HM enables you to operate your HomeMatic home automation system of eQ-3 AG from your iPhone or Apple Watch.
**Notes:
For the use of pocket control HM a Homematic CCU is necessary.
Lighting, heating and other devices can be controlled directly or through defined actions.
Security state, open windows, temperatures and weather data are displayed in an easily understandable way.
Communication is provided via WLAN (WiFi) when at home and via an existing VPN connection when away.
Features:
- Device data (names, channels, current state, system variables and programs) are read directly from the HomeMatic CCU.
- When starting the app the first time the address of the CCU is entered. HomeMatic CCU query takes 3-4 seconds. Then pocket control HM is ready for use.
- Several configurations can be generated (several for one or more systems).
- You can change device names that are stored in the CCU directly in the app.
- The wireless and RS485 components of your HomeMatic system are supported.

- System variables are displayed. Programs of the CCU can be started.

Ratings and Reviews
Best App to work together with Homematic and Homematic IP
Most Homematic and Homematic IP customers are probably in Germany - but I am one of the rare users that has an American Apple Store Account and uses Homematic. This App is the best option you have to controls you Homematic based Smarthome. The developer adds more supported devices regularly and more features are coming over time as well since years. Siri, widget and VPN support is there and even its own geofencing. The app is reliable and intuitive.
The only area for improvement would be more settings for the notifications of the base station in the app. The Homematic base station (ccu) is spamming users with system messages (that’s not the apps fault). The app is just handing them through and treats all of them the same. It would be so lovely to set different notifications levels for system messages and my own custom notifications.
I want my own custom notifications from the pocket control app to be pushed to my phone but I don’t want the system messages.
