Node-RED packaged as an addon for Homematic CCU3 and RaspberryMatic, enabling visual smart home automation.
RedMatic is a packaged version of Node-RED designed as an addon for Homematic CCU3 and RaspberryMatic smart home controllers. It enables visual, code-free automation of Homematic devices and integrates with a wide range of external systems and services. The project solves the need for a powerful, user-friendly automation hub that runs directly on existing Homematic hardware without requiring additional servers.
Homematic CCU3 or RaspberryMatic users who want to create advanced automations without deep programming knowledge, and smart home enthusiasts seeking an extensible, self-hosted automation platform with HomeKit support.
Developers choose RedMatic because it combines the flexibility of Node-RED with seamless Homematic integration, offering a ready-to-use package with pre-configured interfaces and HomeKit support. Its extensive node library and community-driven ecosystem provide unparalleled integration possibilities while running efficiently on existing hardware.
