eQ-3 is one of the leading innovation and technology companies for home control and consumer electronics. With more than 200 different types of products, eQ-3 provides the largest product portfolio in the industry and has more than 18 million wireless devices in more than 600,000 households. This makes eQ-3 the European market leader in smart home technology based on the number of whole home solutions and electronic radiator thermostats installed.

Homematic is the leading smart home platform with more than 80 devices with open communication interfaces. The devices are marketed through retailers, online shops, local distributors, telecommunications companies and energy suppliers as well as private label or OEM versions. With MAX!, eQ-3 was the first provider of a customer-oriented heating solution that can be controlled via Internet and smartphone and offers a customised control for single rooms. In 2011, eQ-3 pioneered the use of IPv6 in an OEM customised smart home solution. Homematic IP, the next generation of Homematic, is an open platform based on the Internet standard IPv6 - the next generation of Internet protocol - and fully compatible with the devices of the Homematic family. Therefore, eQ-3 already offers a solution for the Internet of Things (IoT), which is based on the same standards as the Internet itself.
