Switching Sockets and LED Lights On and Off in Groups

Sockets and LED lights that have been grouped together can be switched on and off in various ways. You can switch individual sockets/LED lights or the entire group on and off manually. You can also configure automatic switching setting for the group.

Switching a Single Smart Home Device On and Off

Overview

A single socket or LED light from a group can be switched on and off independently of the group. The next time the group is switched (manually or automatically), the socket/LED light will once again be switched along with the group.

Options

A single Smart Home device can be switched on and off as follows:

  • with the button on the device (socket only)
  • with the button in the user interface under "Smart Home / Operation"
  • with a configured FRITZ!DECT 400/440 switch

Switching a Group On and Off Manually

Overview

Sockets and LED lights that belong to a group can be switched on or off together at the same time, regardless of their switch status. The sockets/LED lights remain on or off until the next time they are switched (manually or automatically).

Options

Depending on the kind of the group, you have the following options for switching the group on and off manually:

Kind of GroupOptions
Group without master
  • with the button in the user interface under "Smart Home / Operation"
Group with master
  • with the group button or the button for the master in the FRITZ!Box user interface under "Smart Home / Operation"
  • with the button on the Smart Home device configured as the master
  • with a configured FRITZ!DECT 400/440 switch

A master is a Smart Home device that regulates the switch status for the entire group. You can define a master under "Smart Home / Groups and Templates / Edit Group ".

Switching a Group On and Off Automatically (Schedule)

Overview

You can configure various types of automatic switching (schedules) for groups of sockets and/or LED lights. For instance, you can define times to switch on and off for individual days of the week, or configure automatic switching that takes all its switching times from your Google calendar.

Options

Depending on the type of group, you have the following options for configuring automatic switching:

Kind of GroupOptions
Group without master
  • Configure automatic switching under "Smart Home / Groups and Templates / Edit Group "
Group with master, master belongs to group
Group with master, master does not belong to group
  • Configure automatic switching for the group under "Smart Home / Groups and Templates / Edit Group "
  • Configure automatic switching for the Master under "Smart Home / Groups and Templates / Edit Master "

You can configure one automatic switching schedule for the group and another for the master. Then switching will be performed at all times defined in both automatic switching schedules.

A master is a Smart Home device that regulates the switch status for the entire group. You can define a master under "Smart Home / Groups and Templates / Edit Group ".
