Control 8 electrical consumers independently and comfortably, and automate switching processes. With numerous available configuration options, different operating modes, time controls, sensor dependencies, and many other configurations can be programmed and controlled separately for each channel. The time profiles for control are stored directly in the actuator after configuration, allowing it to fulfill its tasks autonomously even in the event of a temporary failure of a central unit. Through 2 different operating modes, the total load of the actuator, which is 80 A, can be distributed either equally across all channels or with different maximum loads across 2 channel groups, allowing the maximum load to be variably divided between 8 and 16 A per channel. It switches connected consumers (e.g., lights) on and off via 8 independent channels (one switch per channel, bistable, total load capacity up to 80 A). It enables flexible control of connected consumers via conventional wired buttons or Homematic IP wireless buttons and remote controls. Astro function and time profiles can be set per channel and are stored directly in the device. Easy operation and commissioning directly at the device through an integrated, illuminated LC display. Simple installation and wiring via DIN rail mounting (TS35, mounting width 4TE) and spring-loaded terminal connections for rigid and flexible cables, connectors for bus connection, and tool-free wiring. Voice control with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant is possible (when used with the Homematic IP app). A Homematic IP Wired Access Point is required for operation. The wired system can be controlled via the Smart Home central unit CCU3, through many partner solutions, or directly via the Homematic IP Cloud. The joint operation of Homematic IP wireless and wired components is facilitated through the combination of the Homematic IP Wired Access Point.
