Controlling underfloor heating plays a central role in living comfort and energy efficiency. With the new Homematic IP 8-channel underfloor heating controller (HmIP-FALMOT-C8), Homematic IP expands its portfolio and offers a solution that combines precise control, automatic optimization, and flexible operation. This compact controller is considered the "little brother" of the well-known Homematic IP 12-channel underfloor heating controller and is perfectly suited for new builds and renovations – regardless of whether the heating system is powered by a heat pump or a conventional gas or oil boiler.
Homematic IP Smart Home Underfloor Heating Controller – 8 Channels
Motorized, digital control of underfloor heating with or without app
Control underfloor heating with up to eight heating circuits
The Homematic IP The underfloor heating controller allows for stepless control of up to eight heating circuits. In conjunction with motorized actuators, it ensures even heat distribution throughout the entire house. A particularly practical feature: the controller automatically performs the hydraulic balancing of the underfloor heating system. This eliminates the need for time-consuming manual adjustments while simultaneously achieving energy savings.
Flexible control via app, wall thermostat or directly on the device
The underfloor heating system can be individually adjusted via the Homematic IP App (Smartphone or tablet), via wall thermostat in each room, or directly on the device via an illuminated LCD display, clearly shows the valve positions and status. Thanks to wireless communication, existing systems can be easily retrofitted – without any additional cables.
Heating and cooling with underfloor heating in the smart home
The controller isn't just for winter use. In combination with a Multi IO Box or a switching actuator, it can also control circulation pumps and heating systems. This allows for switching between heating and cooling modes. This makes the Homematic IP underfloor heating controller a solution for heating and cooling with surface heating systems.
Easy mounting on the DIN rail of the Homematic IP 8-channel underfloor heating controller
Installation is quick and easy thanks to plug-in and clamp-on connection technology, requiring no tools. The controller is mounted directly on a DIN rail and, thanks to its compact design, requires very little space in the distribution box.
The appropriate actuators and wall thermostats are required for operation. Home Access Point This is not strictly necessary: Alternatively, a push-to-pair connection can be established between the underfloor heating controller and the thermostats. However, without an access point, app control and integration into the smart home system are not possible.

FAQs – Answers to frequently asked questions
Can you control underfloor heating with an app?
Yes, with the Homematic IP underfloor heating controller The underfloor heating can be conveniently controlled via Homematic IP App Control. Users can use this to set heating times, temperature profiles, and even switch between heating and cooling.
What is hydraulic balancing in underfloor heating?
The hydraulic balancing This ensures that all heating circuits of an underfloor heating system are supplied with heat evenly. The Homematic IP Controller handles this balancing automatically, without an installer having to manually adjust the valves. This saves energy and increases living comfort.
How many heating circuits can the Homematic IP underfloor heating controller regulate?
The 8-channel underfloor heating controller HmIP-FALMOT-C8 It controls up to eight heating circuits. For larger systems, there is an alternative: 12-channel underfloor heating controller.
Can the Homematic IP underfloor heating controller also cool?
Yes, the controller supports not only heating operation, but also the Cooling operation. In conjunction with a Multi IO Box or a switching actuator, circulation pumps and heating systems can be controlled in such a way that the Underfloor heating for cooling in summer can be used.
Do I need a home access point for operation?
A Home Access Point is not absolutely necessary. The controller can also be connected directly via Push-to-pair connection They can be paired with wall thermostats. However, in this case, control via the app and integration into the complete Homematic IP Smart Home system are not possible.
