AVM is making advancements in the area of Smart Home. Traditional Fritzbox routers<\/a> are the control centres of the \u201cIntelligent Home\u201d. The company presents not only new devices, such as an intelligent power sockets for outdoor use or remote-controllable heating thermostats, but is also steadily bringing out suitable control options. The integration of new devices into the system is very easy. The guide shows how it works.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Install Intelligent power sockets<\/h2>\n

Using the intermediate connector of type Fritz!Dect 200<\/a>, you can, for example, turn lamps and electrical devices on and off at specific times.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The commissioning is easy, as is the case with other existing smart home devices from AVM. Prerequisite: You must have a Fritzbox with integrated DECT phone base and current Fritz OS. Then you can get started.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Plug the equipment into a socket in the vicinity of the Fritzbox.<\/strong> Direct reception is required for set-up, later you can also use the FritzDect 200 in other locations. The green blinking \u201cDECT\u201d light now indicates that the device is ready for operation.<\/li>\n
  2. Now go to your Fritzbox and hold down the \u201cDECT\u201d button at the top until the \u201cInfo\u201d light (on some models instead of the \u201cDECT\u201d light) begins to flash.<\/strong> The FritzDect 200 then connects to the Fritz Box. Once done, the light will stop flashing.<\/li>\n
  3. Now insert the FritzDect 200 into the socket where it will be operated.<\/strong> You can also now plug in the devices that you want to control with the FritzDect 200. For info: The device can withstand up to 2300 W, so you can go ahead and connect very strong devices.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It is now important to program the FritzDect 200.<\/p>\n

    To do this, open the configuration menu of your Fritzbox as usual via the browser, this can be found at . The appropriate settings for the socket can be found under \u201cHome Network\u201d and \u201cSmart Home\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Here you can now save all desired switch-on and switch-off processes.
