devolo is a German network hardware company from Aachen. It makes Powerline (Magic) adapters, Wi-Fi repeaters, mesh kits and routers, and until recently sold the devolo Home Control smart home system built around a Z-Wave central unit. The network products are managed from the Home Network app, while Home Control was managed from its own app and the mydevolo cloud.
The network products (Powerline, Wi-Fi mesh, repeaters and routers) are ordinary network devices that join the home network over Ethernet, mains wiring or Wi-Fi, and have no smart home protocol of their own. Home Assistant can read and control several of them locally. The Home Control system was different: a Z-Wave central unit with devolo's own sensors, plugs and thermostats, reached through devolo's cloud for remote access.
devolo announced that the Home Control servers would close on 31 December 2025, ending remote access through the app and the mydevolo portal, and that the app would leave the app stores that day. That makes Home Control a poor choice for anyone buying now. The network range is unaffected according to devolo, and suits people who want better coverage and basic monitoring rather than smart home control.

The current devolo app for adapters, repeaters, mesh kits and routers. It gives an overview of devices and their connection status, setup wizards, Wi-Fi and guest network management, firmware updates and a network scan. The listing says no registration is needed to start. Several older dLAN models are not supported unless a dLAN 550 WiFi or 1200 WiFi device is on the network, and the listing recommends the devolo Cockpit PC software for those. Published by devolo solutions GmbH. The listings do not mention Siri, Alexa, Google or Apple Home.
The app for the Home Control Central Unit: registration and setup of the unit, personalised dashboards, and notifications by email, text and push. devolo announced that remote access through the app and the mydevolo portal would end on 31 December 2025 and that the app would be removed from the app stores that day. The App Store page we opened showed no shutdown notice, so its current availability is unconfirmed. The Android link is a third-party listing mirror that dates the last update to May 2021, not a Google Play page.
An iPhone app with this name appeared in search results. We did not open the listing and could not confirm what it does or whether it is still offered.

devolo's Magic and dLAN adapters carry the network over mains wiring, with LAN sockets on most models. Home Assistant's page lists Magic 2, Magic 1, dLAN and Gigabridge models, and says non-Wi-Fi adapters offer more limited monitoring.
The Home Network app listing covers Wi-Fi mesh devices, Wi-Fi 6 repeaters, a Wi-Fi 6 5G LTE router and Wi-Fi 7 routers and mesh packs, with main and guest network management. Home Assistant lists the Wi-Fi repeaters and Powerline-with-Wi-Fi adapters.
The Home Control Central Unit is a Z-Wave to IP gateway according to Home Assistant, and devolo's shutdown notice recommends a Z-Wave Alliance certified gateway as a replacement. The system is being discontinued, so it is not a sensible platform to start on.
A February 2019 mobiFlip article reports that devolo released an Alexa Smart Home skill for Home Control that links to the devolo account, discovers devices, scenes and rules, and controls plugs. The Home Control app description on a listing mirror also mentions Alexa and Echo. Because the Home Control servers were announced to close on 31 December 2025, we could not confirm the skill still works. No Alexa support was found for the network products.
Two built-in integrations exist, both maintained by the Home Assistant project rather than devolo. devolo Home Control talks to the central unit locally (Local Push) and needs a mydevolo account only to fetch local credentials. It cannot add or remove devices. devolo Home Network (Local Polling) covers Powerline, Wi-Fi repeaters and Magic devices with sensors, guest Wi-Fi and LED switches, buttons and firmware updates. Home Assistant has posted an alert that the Home Control servers close on 31 December 2025, says central units on the same network keep working for as long as the unit stays online but without a guarantee, says the ROCKETHOME service is not compatible with the integration, and recommends migrating to Z-Wave JS.
Athom lists an official devolo app for Homey (Cloud, Pro, Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server) covering devolo Z-Wave devices such as contacts, flood and motion sensors, plugs, radiator and room thermostats, key fobs and sirens. Most devices need a Homey Bridge, and Homey pairs the devices itself rather than through the central unit. An older forum thread says a Home Control central cannot be brought into the Homey Bridge. No Homey app for the network products was found.
We searched for a devolo binding and found only openHAB community threads and the generic Z-Wave binding, so we could not confirm a dedicated devolo integration.
No devolo service found when we searched. IFTTT's own site was not checked.

Replacement Z-Wave gateways and ROCKETHOME

devolo's shutdown notice recommends a Z-Wave Alliance certified third-party gateway so existing sensors and actuators keep working, including remotely. It also names the ROCKETHOME switch service (Cologne), which can take over an existing central unit without reconfiguring devices.
We found no public developer programme or API documentation. Home Assistant's integrations use the central unit's local API with credentials from a mydevolo account, and the network integration uses only the API that the Home Network app uses.
Checked 11 November 2026 against the brand's own pages, app store listings and each project's own page. “Not found” means we searched and found nothing, not that it is impossible. Compatibility changes often. Spot an error? Tell us and we will fix it.
