Concept | frogblue Smart Home Systems

frogDisplay: the touch Display with Audio for wall installation into the mounting box (81x81x12mm)

The benefits

With minimal cable wiring and energy consumption, we connect lights, blinds, fans, windows, doors, heating systems, door intercom systems and all standard light switches wirelessly. Our major strengths lie in the reliability and security of a system that has been tried and tested for years, and which can still be flexibly adapted to users’ requirements even after installation by means of a configuration program. Frogblue is perfect for renovations and reduces the costs for new buildings. Positive energy-saving and a minimum number of cables to be laid results in a sustainable, environmentally friendly and cost saving solution.

Invisible smart

A frogblue installation can be completely concealed, as all functions are initiated through standard light switches and transmitted wirelessly. Those who wish can keep their existing switch program. For the user, there’s visually no difference between a frogblue and a traditional electrical installation. You do not have to integrate a display on the wall, smartphone, WiFi, internet or cloud. Of course, a building can also be operated and maintained remotely by smartphone or tablet if so desired. Frogblue offers everything from smart electrical installations to a fully networked intelligent building with user and access authorisation.

Smart, invisible technology

All these functions are controlled by a frogblue module, which we refer to as a “frog”. These frogs switch or dim lights in colour and brightness, register the actuation of light buttons, secure and open doors, position blinds and activate fans centrally or time-controlled. Our frogs are installed in a flush-mounted box directly behind the light button or load and only have to be connected to the 230V mains. Control functions are interchanged via a wireless Bluetooth® network, so that control cables or a central control cabinet are not required. This saves you at least half the cables and expensive energy for a cabinet.

Easy installation – expandable at any time

The frogblue Smart Home system is worthwhile even if used only for the lighting in a house. It greatly simplifies the installation, since central control functions and multi-way switching can be achieved wirelessly. No cable trays, fuse boxes or IT equipment are necessary with frogblue. From one frog to hundreds, frogblue can be extended at any time.

Energy-saving results

With the frogCloud, you can call up a detailed overview of the energy consumption in the building according to light, room or area, and thereby optimise your consumption. Frogblue modules are extremely energy-conscious, consuming just 0.2 watts of consumption per hour, in contrast to wired systems.
A single-family house with about 40 frogs only requires 8 watts, which adds up to only 6 kilowatt hours per month. In comparison, a control cabinet with a centralised control system can quickly reach 250 watts per hour, which adds up to incredible 180 kilowatt hours per month! It is worth looking closely at this because there are control systems that require even more energy.

Smart remote control

A single “button” we call frogKey, controls lights, blinds, and doors in a frogblue installation, always targeting the door directly in front of where it is being operated. Thanks to its built in gyro position sensor, tilting up can operate lights and dimming, while pointing down operates blinds, and aiming horizontally forwards opens doors. With room recognition activated, frogKey only triggers the lights, blinds, and doors for the room it’s currently in. Double-clicks or long presses can activate additional functions, such as building- wide central off or scenes. A frogKey only transmits when within its designated project; encrypted and timestamped, security assured.

Atmosphere is just a click away

With just one click all lamps and blinds adjust for the TV evening. When leaving the apartment, one commando moves the blinds down, lowers the heating, turns off the lighting and activates the alarm. It can be controlled via Display, Smartphone, or just a double-click on the light switch. If there should be any window or outside door still open, it will be shown.

Alarm integrated

The frogblue Display monitors the building. Wireless. Every door, every window, every light switch or every motion detector can set off an alarm. Filtered by time or just in certain rooms. A telephone call with voicemail signals the alarm and reaches places, where internet does not work anymore due to bad connection. Remote control and two-way intercom are possible via telephone as well.

Highest security

In contrast to conventional Bluetooth® systems, frogblue has a protection system against unauthorised access from the bottom up, since all control commands are heavily encrypted and only valid once with a time stamp. IT components and a central control system are not required, which is why the system is easy to handle and maintenance-free. The frogblue system offers maximum reliability, as all frogblue modules are constantly used for transmission. Therefore, control commands independently seek the fastest and best way to a destination. This takes place at high speed, as if a direct physical control cable had been laid between the commands and functions.
