Using a FRITZ! smart plug

The smart plug, for example FRITZ!Smart Energy 200, is integrated into your home network via an encrypted DECT connection.

You can either use the user interface or a button on the FRITZ!Box to register the FRITZ!DECT smart plug.

1 Registering a FRITZ! smart plug via the user interface

  1. Plug the FRITZ! smart plug into a wall socket near the FRITZ!Box.
  2. Click on 'Smart Home' in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
  3. Click on 'Devices and Groups' in the 'Smart Home' menu.
  4. Click on 'Register a FRITZ! Smart Home Device' and select the desired option.
  5. Within 2 minutes: Push the (DECT) button on the FRITZ! smart plug. Hold down the button for at least 6 seconds until the LED starts to flash quickly. The FRITZ! smart plug is in registration mode as long as the LED flashes quickly.
  6. The LED on the FRITZ! smart plug remains lit as soon as the connection has been established.
