Setting Up Countdown Switching for a Socket

You can configure various types of automatic switching for the socket of your Smart Home device from AVM. Countdown switching means that a countdown begins every time a socket is switched manually: After a previously specified period, the socket turns back on or off.

"Manual switching" is switching on or off using the switch on the Smart Home device, with FRITZ!Fon, MyFRITZ!App, or a mouse click in the user interface.

Automatic switching can either be configured for an individual Smart Home device or for a group of multiple Smart Home devices.
