Smart Home

A smart home is a solution that enables intelligent home management. Electrical products and various types of sensors integrated with them reduce many manual tasks, allowing you to exceptional living comfort to be achieved. A smart home also offers conveniences in day-to-day home management and benefits that are felt in the wallet, stemming from the efficient control of electricity and heat. An important part of a smart home is the window and door joinery, which, when connected to sensors, influences the conditions inside the building, its energy efficiency and security.

FAKRO offers a comprehensive range of windows and doors designed for use in flat roofs, a full range of window accessories, as well as entrance doors and garage doors. FAKRO window and door products are made from the same materials, featuring a modern design whilst maintaining a consistent style and colour scheme.

By installing FAKRO roof windows in the electric version with a rain sensor and reed switch, a Solar awning with a smart operating system or an internal blackout blind, we can take the first step towards a smart home.

FAKRO smartHome is a technologically advanced solution in which FAKRO window and door products are integrated into a smart home system – they can be controlled locally using a remote control. By equipping your home with sensors and additional devices, you can manage the building via a smartphone app from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

SmartHome – Your home, your choice!

We can choose the technology on which your smart home will be based.

We can choose a wireless data transmission protocol:

Z-WAVE

FAKRO smartHome operates on the basis of the Z-Wave communication protocol, which is a complete, wireless radio system. Z-Wave is a communication technology specially designed for the control and monitoring residential and commercial buildings. Z-Wave technology offers the highest quality and security in the field of wireless control. The Z-Wave system is simple to install, easy to expand and manage at every stage of the building’s operation. Installation of the system does not require a distribution board or communication cables between electrical products, which significantly reduces installation costs and time whilst ensuring maximum comfort of use.

WIRELESS WiFi DATA TRANSMISSION PROTOCOL

FAKRO’s range includes technologically advanced products that form an important part of a smart home within a wireless WiFi system. The FTP-V WiFi roof window provides plenty of natural light and fresh air in the loft. It also allows for temperature control in rooms under a pitched roof thanks to the AMZ WiFi awning or ARZ WiFi external roller blind, as well as light control using the ARF WiFi internal roller blind.

μWiFi technology is based on wireless radio communication. It is characterised by high bandwidth, resistance to interference and the ability to connect additional WiFi-enabled devices. The system works by sending a signal from a control device, such as a smartphone, to a router, which then distributes signals to individual devices. A failure in one device does not affect the operation of other devices, and all functioning devices will remain available.

The WiFi system is simple to install, easy to expand and manage. It can be used at any stage of a building’s life cycle. An additional benefit is the ability to access devices remotely via the router. Installation of the system does not require any control units or connecting cables between electrical devices, which significantly reduces installation costs and time and ensures maximum user comfort.

All devices in the WiFi system are controlled via a smartphone using the wBox app, and are compatible with Google Assistant, enabling the creation of a Google Home virtual home and the management of FAKRO products by voice.

Advantages of the FAKRO smartHome system
