Boost Your Smart Home Experience with the Latest FRITZ!App Smart Home Update

In today’s fast-evolving smart home world, the right technology can make everyday living more efficient, secure, and personalized. That’s why AVM’s recent update to the popular FRITZ!App Smart Home is making waves among tech-savvy homeowners and curious beginners alike.

Whether you’re just starting with home automation or looking to optimize your existing setup, the latest FRITZ!App Smart Home version adds three powerful features that enhance usability, control, and customization. Let’s explore what’s new and how these upgrades can benefit your smart living environment.

1. New Location-Based Rules for Smarter Automations

Geofencing Comes to FRITZ!App Smart Home

One of the most exciting additions in this update is the introduction of location-based automation. This means your smart home can now react based on your smartphone’s location.

Here’s how it works:

Enable geofencing within the app to trigger specific actions when you arrive home or leave.
For instance, your home lights can switch off and heating can be lowered automatically as you leave for work.
When you return, the thermostat can warm your home just in time, and lights can be ready to welcome you.

This hands-free control simplifies your daily routine and helps save energy—perfect for those serious about smart energy management.

2. Enhanced Widget Functionality for Better Control

More Customization Right from Your Home Screen

The update improves widget integration across both Android and iOS devices. With the updated FRITZ!App Smart Home widgets, you can control smart devices directly from your home screen faster than ever.

What’s new:

Widgets now support group controls, so you can turn off all lights in one tap before bed or activate your weekend mode easily.
Improved interface offers real-time display of device status, such as whether windows are open or heating is active.

This expanded functionality makes it easier to stay connected with your smart home environment—without even opening the app.

3. Device Status Receives a Clarity Upgrade

Smarter Icons and Feedback for More Insight

Knowing the status of your smart devices is key to an effective smart home. The latest update adds clearer status icons and smarter feedback systems within the app.

Here are the benefits:

Thermostats now show real-time temperature and target values at a glance.
Smart plugs visibly indicate whether a device is currently on or off.
New icons improve accessibility and visual understanding, especially for new users.

No more guessing whether your heater is working or if a smart plug is active—just open the app and get the full picture.

How to Get the Latest FRITZ!App Smart Home Update

Updating your app is simple:

Head to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
Search for FRITZ!App Smart Home, and check for the latest update (version 1.14.0).
Tap “Update,” and restart the app to enjoy the new features.

Don’t forget—your FRITZ!Box router’s firmware should also be up to date to ensure compatibility.

Why This Matters for Your Smart Home

With these latest upgrades, the FRITZ!App Smart Home becomes a more reliable, intelligent hub for managing your home automation setup. From tighter control via widgets to smart geofencing actions, the app supports a smoother, more personalized smart home experience.

Thinking about integrating more smart home devices? The app pairs seamlessly with AVM’s own devices like FRITZ!DECT smart plugs, radiator thermostats, and LED lights.
