Homematic IP app v3.6.13 adds custom icons, new automations and improved thermostat info

eQ-3 has released version 3.6.13 of the Homematic IP app, bringing a set of quality-of-life improvements aimed at simplifying the management of connected devices in smart homes. The update introduces more visual customization and expanded automation options to help users tailor their setups more quickly and intuitively.

Highlights of the 3.6.13 update include:

• Custom symbols for switch actuators: You can now assign individual icons to Schaltaktoren (switch actuators) so lamps, outlets and other switches are easier to identify at a glance.
• New automation options: Enhanced automation tools let you create smarter routines and triggers for devices across rooms and scenes.
• Expanded thermostat information: The app provides improved visibility into thermostat data (readouts and status), making climate control and scheduling more transparent.

The update is designed to make everyday interactions with Homematic IP devices faster — especially for households with many linked devices or more complex automation needs. As with any new release, it’s a good idea to keep your app and device firmware up to date and to review automation rules after updating to ensure everything behaves as expected.

How to get the update:

• Open your device’s app store (iOS App Store or Google Play) and update the Homematic IP app to the latest version.
• After updating, check the app’s device list and automation pages for the new icon options and automation settings.
