How does automatic switching work?
The various automatic switching options have the following features and functions:
Switching | Features / Functions |
---|---|
According to schedule | 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 sockets/LED lamps switch 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 the sockets/LED lamps are switched manually: After the period you specified, the sockets/LED lamps turn back on or off. "Manual switching" is switching on or off using the switch, a FRITZ!Fon, smartphone, or by mouse click in the user interface. |
Periodic | The sockets/LED lamps switch on and off at regular intervals. You define how long the sockets/LED lamps remain on and how long they remain off. |
Once | The sockets/LED lamps are switched on or off for a previously defined length of time. The time at which the sockets/LED lamps switch on or off can be chosen at will. |
Sunrise/Sunset | The sockets/LED lamps switch on at sunrise or at sunset (+/- 2 hours, can be set in various steps). You define how long the sockets/LED lamps remain switched on. |
Calendar (Google) | The sockets/LED lamps switch on and off at the times you define in your Google calendar. |
Temperature | 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 (FRITZ!DECT 200/210/301/440) or with a suitable radiator control. |
