DoorBird and Homematic IP has announced that it will release cloud-to-cloud integration with the 3.5.12 Homematic IP app update.

According to the company, users will benefit from improved convenience, increased security and seamless communication from the Homematic IP app.

Homematic IP app

The company says that if a visitor comes to the door and rings the bell, the Homematic IP app will inform the residents by push notification.

Then all the user has to do is tap to speak to the guest directly as all of the video and audio signals are transmitted straight to the Homematic IP app.

If users then want to let the visitor in, just one more tap will grant them access, making it simple, fast and secure.

As a Homematic IP partner product, the DoorBird video door station can be freely combined with many components of the smart home system, for example with a Homematic IP door lock drive.

Users can also use the DoorBird device’s integrated switching relay, motion detector or the doorbell button and the DoorBird device’s access module for intelligent automation as required.

The company highlights that the integration is available to all customers with a Homematic IP Access Point or a Homematic IP Home Control Unit and the free Homematic IP app from version 3.5.12, which will be gradually rolled out to all users from May 27, 2025.

All D11 and D21-series DoorBird video door stations are supported.

According to the company, the cloud-to-cloud connection of both systems meets the highest standards of data protection and security.

“The highest security standards”

Ralph Bertelt, CEO, eQ-3 AG commented: “The entire communication between Homematic IP and DoorBird is fully encrypted and complies with the latest security standards, thereby preventing information from falling into the wrong hands.

“The Homematic IP Cloud is also hosted exclusively on servers in Germany and is therefore subject to the highest security standards.”

Bertelt concluded: “In 2024, the VDE (Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies) certified our system in the areas of protocol, IT and data security for the eighth time in a row.”

“A top priority for us”

Sascha Keller, CEO, Bird Home Automation GmbH stated: “As a German manufacturer, quality, data protection and design are a top priority for us and these are values that we share with Homematic IP.”

Keller continued: “By integrating our IP video door stations into the Homematic IP system, we are offering our customers a particularly convenient way to combine security and smart home functionality.”
