The standard redefined

The Homematic IP Radiator Thermostat Evo gives all members of a household access to smart temperature control: in addition to operation via the free smartphone app, the desired temperature can be set by simply turning the thermostat head. This makes intuitive use of the learned interaction of analog products. Additional system functions such as window open detection intelligently promote a healthy indoor climate and energy-saving living. In order to achieve an optimum feel for the rotary knob, the circular cross-section tapers to a flat surface on which the set temperature and operating modes are easy to read. The thermostat blends harmoniously into the overall appearance of a modern home and redefines the standard for modern thermostats.

Holistic. Smart. UXMA.

The award-winning Homematic IP thermostat puts the spotlight on our team's industrial design and engineering expertise. Our contribution to this project illustrates the holistic nature of UXMA’s expertise in the development of intelligent products, which does not stop at component design and extends to tool-ready data and drawings. Together with our customer eQ-3, we have developed a future-oriented physical product that meets the highest standards of functionality, ergonomics and visual and haptic quality and that makes a relevant contribution to energy saving with its intelligent functions.

Together with our customer, we succeeded in taking product quality to a new level in this project. Through structured concepts, proof-of-concept models and collaborative development, we were able to create unique solutions such as the intuitive rotary operation or the customizable grip shells.
