Pocket Control HM offers an innovative solution for managing your HomeMatic home automation system from eQ-3 AG via an iPhone or Apple Watch. It requires a HomeMatic CCU for optimal functionality.

The application allows for the direct operation of lighting, heating, and various devices either individually or through predefined actions. Users can easily monitor security states, open windows, temperatures, and weather data in a clear and user-friendly manner.
