"In addition to heating and cooling control,eQ-3 offers home control solutions such as smart plugs,controls for shutters and blinds,security and surveillance products,weather sensors,and a Homematic IP-wired system for smart home installations," said Dennis Marcell Victor Senior Research Analyst. "The Homematic IP radiator thermostat gives users control over room temperature by connecting with window sensors,home sensors,and the building's heating equipment. This provides for an enormous gain in living comfort. In addition to regulating room temperature,Homematic IP products create a pleasant indoor climate by adjusting the humidity,which also helps protect the building fabric and reduces mold growth."

Uniquely,eQ-3's Homematic IP thermostats can connect to other smart home products to facilitate temperature control inside the household. Window shutters automatically operate based on sensor inputs related to sunrise and sunset and also communicate with the system to identify empty rooms that do not need heating. Thus the thermostats make a significant contribution to reducing energy consumption. Furthermore,the eQ-3 Homematic IP thermostat is highly user-friendly. It does not require technical expertise,is easy to install,and has an independent power supply and integrated radio technology,which allows it to be operated wirelessly through a free mobile application or via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

eQ-3's customers can integrate the thermostat with 100 different Homematic IP home products through next-generation Internet protocol,Ipv6. IPv6 ensures seamless communication between different smart home products and significantly,eQ-3 is the first company to embrace this version of Internet protocols. Homematic IP is the only smart home system with its protocol-,IT- and data security certified by VDE,one of Europe's largest test and certification houses.

"Over the next few years,eQ-3 will focus on expanding its presence beyond Germany,UK,France and other European countries," noted Victor. "Overall,its customer-focused approach,which prioritizes affordability,reliability,ease of installation,user-friendliness,and personal data privacy,is expected to help it continue dominating the European leader board."
