EQ-3 Homematic IP Bundle Switching and Metering Actuator - Flush-mount

The EQ-3 Homematic IP Bundle Switching and Metering Actuator is a flush-mount smart home device that combines reliable switching with precise energy metering. Designed for integration into standard flush-mount boxes, it enables you to control electrical loads up to 16 A while monitoring power consumption, voltage, current, and frequency. This actuator communicates via the Homematic IP wireless protocol at 868.3/869.525 MHz and works seamlessly with the Homematic IP Access Point or CCU3 central control unit.

Advantages

With its compact design and easy installation, this actuator offers a space-saving solution for retrofitting smart switching and metering in existing electrical installations. The bidirectional wireless communication ensures reliable operation, while the integrated LED indicator provides clear status and error feedback. Energy monitoring with ±0.5% accuracy helps you track and optimize your electricity usage.
