Installs the Homematic OCCU on Debian-based systems to run a CCU3 directly without containers.
debmatic is a software package that installs the Homematic OCCU (Original CCU Software) on Debian-based Linux systems. It allows users to run a full Homematic CCU3—the central control unit for Homematic smart home devices—directly on their own hardware, such as Raspberry Pi or x64 PCs, without needing proprietary CCU hardware or container solutions.
Homematic system users and DIY smart home enthusiasts who want to self-host their CCU on Debian-based hardware, particularly those using Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, or other SBCs, or x64 systems.
It provides a native, non-containerized installation that integrates seamlessly with Debian's package management (apt) for easy updates, supports a wide range of hardware and radio modules, and is a direct open-source alternative to the commercial Homematic CCU3 hardware.
