Aeotec Group GmbH is a home automation and electronics multinational company based in Hamburg, Germany, and is known as Aeotec.[2] It used to be known as Aeon Labs and was headquartered in Silicon Valley, California. It was founded in 2011.[when?]

Its range of products utilizes the Zigbee and Z-Wave communications protocol, the latter being a technology to which Aeotec owns the European rights.[3] The group acquired German electronics maker Popp & Co.,[4][5] founded in 1930, and also Z-Wave Europe, a major distributor of IOT and Smart Home products. The acquisitions moved both its headquarters and research-and-development operations to Germany.

Aeotec has partnerships with multiple solutions providers including Alarm.com, ADT, AT&T, Huawei, for whom Aeotec is a core connected home accessory provider,[6][7] Orange S.A., and Telefónica.

Products

[edit]

The majority of the company's products have been released under the company's own brand name of Aeotec while operating for many years as an original equipment manufacturer.[2] Aeotec products have been designed to work with controllers such as Matter, Home Assistant, openHab, SmartThings, and Wink along with the group's own controllers AutoPilot and Smart Home Hub.[8][9][10]
