Roll-out of the new Homematic IP App version begins

Homematic IP App update adds practical toggle function and others changes

Leer, 25.01.2022 – A new update for the Homematic IP App has been released, it has the version numbers 2.10.0 (iOS) and 2.10.16 (Android). The update focuses on more flexibility in the control and configuration of the smart home, as well as other improvements.

Make two out of one: The new optional toggle function allows fixed pairs of buttons on Homematic IP remote controls to be split up and functions to be assigned to the buttons separately. This doubles the number of possible functions on one device. Until now, an action, such as switching a switchable socket on and off, always occupied a pair of buttons. With Toggle, one button can now perform this task alone: One press of a button switches it on, the next press switches it off. The second key is thus available for other functions.

Parallel to the introduction of this new feature, there is a discreet but useful improvement to the user interface: Keys are now consistently counted from left to right and top to bottom to simplify assignment. The change has no effect on an existing button assignment. Owners of Homematic IP motion detectors also have new options with the introduction of a second brightness threshold. The first threshold defines the activation of the motion detector, a second brightness threshold enables the triggering of another action when the light is already switched on.

Optimized Advanced Routing

Other features of the update include improved control of the slat position and height of blinds as well as optimization of the Advanced Routing technology: If several Access Points are used in an installation, the Homematic IP devices now select the path with the best connection quality even more effectively when sending commands or status information.

The update for the Homematic IP App has the version numbers 2.10.0 (iOS) and 2.10.16 (Android). It will be rolled out step by step via the respective App stores starting today and will be available to all users within a few days.
