Berlin—DoorBird boasts that access control is now getting smarter through the Cloud-to-cloud integration between DoorBird and Homematic IP, which is now available with the release of the 3.5.12 Homematic IP app update.
According to DoorBird, homeowners will benefit from improved convenience, increased security, and seamless communication right from the app.
“As a German manufacturer, quality, data protection and design are a top priority for us, and these are values that we share with Homematic IP,” comments Sascha Keller, CEO of Bird Home Automation GmbH. “By integrating our IP video door stations into the Homematic IP system, we are offering our customers a particularly convenient way to combine security and smart home functionality.”
DoorBird Integration with Homematic IP Delivers Convenience and Homeowner Safety
DoorBird door stations provide homeowners with advanced door communication capabilities. These products through its newly announced partnership can now be integrated by dealers into Homematic IP smart home systems. The 3.5.12 update for the free Homematic IP app, which is gradually rolling out, allows users to establish a secure cloud-to-cloud connection between their DoorBird video door station and their smart home installation.
The companies suggest that if for example, a visitor comes to the door and rings the bell, the app will inform the residents by push notification. Then, all homeowners need to do is tap the app to speak directly to the visitor. All video and audio signals are transmitted straight to the app, and if users then want to let the visitor in, all they need to do is perform one more tap.
As partner products, the DoorBird video door station can be freely combined with many components of the smart home system, including the Homematic IP door lock drive. Dealers can also use the DoorBird device’s integrated switching relay, motion detector, or the doorbell button and their clients’ DoorBird devices access module for intelligent automation as required.
The integration is available to all customers with a Homematic IP Access Point, or Home Control Unit and the free app. All DoorBird D11 and D21-series DoorBird video door stations are supported.
“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,” adds Ralph Bertelt, CEO of eQ-3 AG. “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.”
