Function and device overview
Floating push-buttons can be integrated into the Home-
matic IP system with relatively little effort in conjunction
with the Homematic IP Contact Interface. This means
conventional push-buttons can be retrofitted flexibly
with Homematic IP functions and devices so that e.g.
lights and shutters can benefit from intelligent controls.
The compact housing means the contact interface can
be mounted flexibly inside a flush-mounted box. Existing
switches or switch series can continue to be used without
any additional installation effort.
The free Homematic IP smartphone app even allows
switches and magnetic contacts to be connected to the
contact interface to facilitate convenient wireless com-
munication.
The durable battery has a service life of up to 3 years –
the device does not need to be connected to the power
supply.
