Setting Up Countdown Switching for a Socket/LED Light
You can configure various types of automatic switching for the socket and LED light. Countdown switching means that a countdown begins every time a socket/LED lamp is switched manually: After a previously specified period, the socket/LED lamp turns back on or off.
"Manual switching" is switching on or off using the switch on the Smart Home device (socket only), with FRITZ!Fon, MyFRITZ!App, or by 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.
