Automatic Switching
Overview
The following automatic switching settings can be configured:
| Switching | Features / Functions |
|---|---|
| On weekdays | Different times can be set for switching devices on and off on different days of the week. Multiple switching times per day can also be configured. |
| Daily | The times defined for switching on and off are valid for all days of the week. |
| Random | The socket switches on and off multiple times during a freely selected period of time. The switching times are selected at random. |
| Countdown | A countdown begins every time a socket is switched manually: After the period you specified, the socket turns back on or off. "Manual switching" is switching on or off using the button on the Smart Home device, a FRITZ!Fon or smartphone, or a mouse click in the user interface. |
| Periodic | The socket switches on and off at regular intervals. You define how long the socket remains on and how long it remains off. |
| Once | The socket is switched on or off for a previously defined length of time. The time at which the socket switches on or off can be chosen at will. |
| Sunrise/Sunset | The socket switches on at sunrise or at sunset (+/- 2 hours, can be set in various steps). You define how long the socket remains switched on. |
| Calendar (Google) | The socket switches on and off at the times you define in your Google calendar. |
| Temperature (only for groups) | Controls devices for heating (such as a fan heater, infrared heater) or cooling (like a fan). The sockets switch on or off when a previously specified temperature is reached. The temperature is measured by a FRITZ!DECT device or with a suitable radiator control. Only available for groups. You can also set up a group for a single Smart Home device. |
