The Homematic IP Switching and Measuring Actuator (16 A) is part of the Homematic IP Smart Home system and allows for the switching of loads as well as the measurement of energy consumption. With an exceptionally high switching capacity of 3680 W for up to 20 minutes and a continuous load of 2760 W, the device is particularly suitable for large consumers of up to 16 A. Thanks to its compact design, the actuator can be used not only in standard flush-mounted boxes but also in surface-mounted distribution boxes. This makes the switching and measuring actuator applicable even in damp basements or outdoor areas.
