Starting the WebUI user interface
The WebUI user interface offers a large number of
configuration and control options for your Homematic
and Homematic IP devices.
To enable local configuration of your devices and to
control devices and connect them with each other or for
using Central Control Unit programs, you must start and
set-up the WebUI.
You can access the user interface via a web browser (see
„5 System requirements“ on page 36).
To call the WebUI in your web browser you will need the
IP address or the DNS name of your CCU3. You can also
use your router or the “NetFinder” add-on software to
find out the IP address.
7.2.1
DNS name
As most routers support DHCP, the assignment within the
network is carried out automatically. During start-up, the
CCU3 tries to receive an IP address. When requesting the
DHCP, the desired DNS name is transferred to the DHCP
at the same time. The CCU3 uses the DNS name “ccu3-
webui”. If the DHCP server supports also the indication
of a DNS name (e.g. Fritz!Box), the CCU3 WebUI can be
called directly in the web browser via the URL http://
ccu3-webui.
