Switching in groups and with templates

Do you have several radiators in one room? Group your FRITZ!DECT 302 devices so that all radiators in a room have the same settings. Create individual heating plans and save them in smart home templates: This ensures your bedroom is at the right temperature at night, in the morning the bathroom is nice and warm and during the day when nobody's at home, the FRITZ!DECT radiator controls lower the temperature automatically.

By automatically regulating your home's radiators you save up to 10% of heating costs. In this guide we give tips on how you can save money and protect the environment with automatic heating plans.

Heating with the FRITZ!App Smart Home and FRITZ!DECT 440

Want to apply templates, quickly check the temperature, or activate boost mode? The FRITZ!App Smart Home offers all this and more, making it the perfect tool for controlling your smart home.

The FRITZ!DECT 440 is a true all-rounder. In addition to manual heating control at the touch of a button, it can also be used as a temperature sensor. This way you can ensure that your heating with FRITZ! measures the temperature exactly where you want it to.

Check the battery level

If you are already using one or more FRITZ!DECT 302 devices, we recommend checking the battery status before the colder weather begins. To do this, open the detailed view for the radiator controls in your FRITZ!App Smart Home or go to the “Smart Home” section of ​​the FRITZ!Box user interface.
