Coqon

Coqon is a professional smart home system focused on heating and living comfort. It lets users control a variety of home components — like radiators, thermostats, and related actuators — through a unified platform. The system uses a German cloud for data storage, which emphasizes data protection standards, and has historically offered personal customer support. The company behind Coqon recently announced it will discontinue active sales and personal support as of September 2025, but the platform itself will keep running at least through the end of 2026.

The core setup relies on a central unit called Qbox 2, which connects to different actuators around the home. An upcoming update will let the Qbox 2 work with fourth-generation Shelly actuators, extending the system's compatibility after official support ends. Users access their system through the My Coqon web app at cloud.coqon.de. The company also runs an online store that will remain open while stock lasts, selling compatible hardware components. The platform announcement is upfront that future firmware updates and setups are done at the user's own risk, since individual support is no longer offered.

This system is best suited for existing Coqon customers who already have the hardware installed and want to continue using it as long as the platform operates. It's also relevant for homeowners who bought into the Coqon ecosystem and need to know how to maintain or extend their setup with compatible actuators from other brands. The straightforward approach — controlling heating components through a web interface with a reliable cloud backend — makes it a practical choice for those already invested in the system, though new buyers won't find much growth ahead.
