FRITZ!App Smart Home: Clear, convenient, practical

The new FRITZ!App Smart Home is the convenient remote control for your FRITZ! Smart Home devices, at home or from on the go. All you need is a FRITZ!Box with FRITZOS 7.10 or higher.

The FRITZ!App Smart Home is your practical helper, with which you can control many Smart Home functions. You can, for instance:

- use the FRITZ!DECT 200 smart plug to switch on the aquarium, heat up the coffee machine, or disconnect media players and TVs from power overnight.
- use the outdoor FRITZ!DECT 210 smart plug to monitor the cost of charging the e-bike, or to switch on the atmospheric garden lighting.
- use the FRITZ!DECT 301 radiator control to heat the living room to the temperature you like, and save money with automatic heating plans.
- use the FRITZ!DECT 500 LED light to provide for a feel-good atmosphere in the evening, and stimulating lighting in the morning.

In the FRITZ!App Smart Home, the arrangement of the Smart Home devices can be tailored to your own personal wishes – simply place a finger on a tile until it is released, and then move it to the desired position.

Your FRITZ! Smart Home can do even more. You can register new Smart Home devices with your FRITZ!Box by a simple press of the button. It is easy to configure heating plans, automatic switching, templates and groups in the user interface of your FRITZ!Box. The FRITZ!DECT 400 switches your floor lamp in the living room or your outside lighting via FRITZ!DECT 200 and FRITZ!DECT 210. Our latest product is the FRITZ!DECT 440 switch with four buttons and a display. FRITZ!DECT 440 can dim your FRITZ!DECT 500 LED light, for instance, and measure the temperature for FRITZ!DECT 301.

Tip: Expand the possibilities in your FRITZ! Smart Home today with the upcoming FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box. The software includes completely redesigned operation of the Smart Home in the FRITZ!Box user interface, new functions for the 4-button FRITZ!DECT 440 switch, and presents a whole range of colors in its support for the new FRITZ!DECT 500 LED light.

Frequently asked questions:

Question: How can I register with another FRITZ!Box?

The FRITZ!App Smart Home supports the operation on exactly one FRITZ!Box. If you want to change the FRITZ!Box, select "New Login" in the settings. To log on to the FRITZ!Box, you must be connected to the Wi-Fi of your FRITZ!Box.

Question: Why can't I access my FRITZ!Box when I'm on the move?

Make sure that you have activated "Use on the move" in the settings. To change the settings, you must be connected to the Wi-Fi of your FRITZ!Box.

Some Internet service providers (increasingly cable providers) provide connections where remote access from the Internet to the connection at home is not possible or only possible with restrictions because no public IPv4 address is provided. The FRITZ!App Smart Home usually detects such connections automatically and displays a corresponding message. Such connection types are called "DS-Lite", "Dual-Stack-Lite" or "Carrier Grade NAT" (CGN). If necessary, you can ask your provider whether there is an option to obtain a public IPv4 address.

Ratings and reviews

Generally good but missing widgets. Why does myfritz have widgets but I can put my lights as widgets on my screen? I'd love to have widgets for plugs to turn them on and off from the dashboard. Heaters with measured and set temperature that can be adjusted (or open app view when clicked) would be nice but less important. I don't have smart lights, but I guess controlling those would be nice. This allows you to dedicated a home screen on Android to smart home.

App is very simple to operate and you can access all the devices without any hassle. However the functionalities to set schedules to thermostat cannot be controlled directly in the app and one would need to open fritzbox app is a bit tiresome. We are relying currently on Amazon echo to set such routines but still is not 100% efficient as any interruption in the internet service is affecting the routines and is not energy efficient anymore.

Good app, power history display could be a bit more precise in terms of showing the wattage at specific times though
