Get Started: Ready-to-use Projects Centred Around Homematic IP Products

Our rule editor allows you to come up with your own projects centred around products from both Homematic IP and other IoT smart brands. Don’t worry, no need to start every project from scratch. Because there a loads of tried-and-tested templates shared by members of our large and ever-increasing Conrad Connect community available from our webpage. All you need to do is import them. You can also tweak them a bit to meet your needs. Below just some of  800+ available project templates involving Homematic IP products. 

Smart Lighting Using Philips Hue, Osram and Other Brands

Good news: our platform now allows you to interconnect Homematic IP smart home solutions and Philips Hue products. All you need to do is use Homematic Access Point instead of the CCU2/CCU3 hub. And Philips Hue is by no means the only smart lighting supplier supported  by Conrad Connect which gives you a whole variety of automated lighting options. 

For instance, in the event of an alarm going off, why not ensure to get the attention of everyone at your place by combining Homematic IP alarm sensors with flashing Hue smart bulbs? Or display outside temperatures using different lighting colours? And what about using Homematic IP and Osram smart lighting products to create a comfy and relaxing ambience when back home from work?  

Room Air Conditioning Using Homematic IP on Conrad Connect

Properly aired rooms help boost productivity. This project tells you when it’s time to open the windows and let some fresh air in. It involves Homematic IP widow contacts and the Netatmo weather station that detect closed windows and high carbon monoxide levels. Also, everyone likes bright sunlight unless this results in room temperature hitting uncomfy numbers.  Leave it to the Netatmo weather station that monitors outside temperatures and tells the Homematic IP actuator to close the blinds.    

Beats and Advice from Sonos

Conrad Connect makes Sonos smart speakers part of your home automation system. Subscribe to Sonos Talks!, a cloud-based service, and get voice notifications by speaker whenever a Homematic IP sensor sets off an alarm. And this project enables your smart speaker to issue a stale air warning.  Suffering from morning grumpiness? Need a mood fix? Use a Homematic IP project to play your favourite tunes. Can’t find the phone with the Sonos app? Use Homematic IP wall switches to set the volume to this, this or this level. 

Please Welcome to the Stage: Homematic IP and Spotify

When it comes to automated music playback, subscribers to Spotify’s premium service aren’t limited to one brand of smart speakers. Our platform allows turning Homematic IP wall switches into a Spotify remote control, and this regardless of the speaker brand you are using to stream music. And if you connect a Homematic IP motion detector to Spotify, the music starts playing whenever someone enters the room.  

No More Letterbox Junk Mileage 

Waiting for the postie to deliver something you urgently need? Clocking mile after mile by checking the letterbox every five minutes? What about fitting an Homematic IP contact to your letterbox and using  push mailing to get a text sent to your smartphone when someone’s moving the flap? Means you only need to walk to the box if something’s been put through.  

Let the Heating System Take Care of It

These days, smart heating systems warming up your place in time to make it cosy when you return from work without wasting energy are pretty much common place. But what happens if you are home early, or need to work late? Easy. Employ geofencing to let your home automation system know that you are on your way. Although Homematic IP products don’t come with built-in geofencing yet, there are ways around it: either use the IFTTT locating applet on Conrad Connect, or interconnect your Homematic IP thermostatic radiator valves and Google Calender. Means the heating turns itself on when you leave work, and your place is going to be warm and comfy when you arrive at home.    

Automated Meteorological Spreadsheets for Gardners and Plant Breeders 

Do your plants refuse to grow as they are supposed to? This might actually be down to temperature fluctuations. Interconnecting Homematic weather sensors and Google spreadsheets allows  automated long-term recording of meteorological data in an online document that helps you  pinpoint possible causes. 

Smart Home Safety Assistant Water Leak Alerts

Besides products by other manufacturers, Homemetic IP also supports a range of innovative cloud services. These include a Smart Home Safety Assistant that uses water leak detectors to set off the alarm, also notifying your insurer’s emergency dispatch room in the event you aren’t at home. The dispatcher will get in touch with you, or your  emergency contacts, thereby enabling you to take the necessary action to avoid excessive damage to your  home. This service is available German wide from our service marketplace.
