4/5 frogblue Mission Revolutionary simplicity! There are many solutions for the digital control of lights and electrical devices in buildings. But none is as simple as ours. Smart Home & Building from frogblue is high engineering with a human touch. And the quality? 100 % made in Germany. Intelligent living for everyone is the vision that drives us. An aspiration that has motivated our development team to ever higher levels of performance, with maximum simplicity, sustainable economic efficiency and the highest level of security always in the foreground. The result is a completely new technology which is far superior to conventional solutions.
6/7 frogblue System One small circuit board one major advance 7/7 At first glance, it just looks like an inconspicuous circuit board, sitting invisibly inside the recess-mounted socket. It is small and green, which is why we call it the frog. But our frog has a lot to offer. It is highly intelligent, packed full of innovative functions, extremely easy to configurate and, thanks to Bluetooth LE, a real communications virtuoso. With just a handful of frogs and a control device such as an app-enabled mobile phone freely scalable smart home applications can be put into practice. Wishful thinking? No. This is now a reality.
8/9 frogblue Technology We place our trust in the world standard Bluetooth has established itself worldwide as the standard for close-range wireless communication. Bluetooth LE is a smart development with the marked advantage that it not only allows more data to be transferred, but also greatly increases the reach, making the system ideal for home networking. Our frogs have Bluetooth LE on board. They take their energy directly from the recess-mounted socket in which they were (quickly and easily) installed. Our frogs communicate with each other and with their control devices such as a smartphone wirelessly using Bluetooth. Bluetooth LE makes sense: this world standard accommodates freely scalable systems, consumes a minimal amount of energy and ensures the highest level of security.
10/11 frogblue Advantages Every advantage is a bonus The decision to install a Smart Home & Building System is usually binding for many years to come. Leading-edge knowledge, product development experience with the latest technologies and solid financing are the pillars of the frogblue company and ensure the most future-proof solution possible. Ideal for retrofitting Standardised installation sizes and a 100% wireless installation make frogblue the perfect solution for retrofitting in existing systems. Steadfastly cost-effective An optimum price/performance ratio is ensured thanks to the minimal power consumption, a maximum reduction in hardware, and the omission of all IT infrastructure. And frogblue is compatible with all common switch ranges. Easy operation Download the frogblue app to a smartphone or tablet. The frogs installed in the recess-mounted sockets report automatically to the app. The system can be configured and operated immediately. Simply and intuitively. Infinitely scalable The decision to install a Smart Home & Building System is usually binding for many years to come. Leading-edge knowledge, product development experience with the latest technologies and solid financing are the pillars of the frogblue company and ensure the most future-proof solution possible. Customisable expansion of the system Everything from a single source: frogblue offers high-quality displays, presence detectors, door stations, window sensors etc. These components, with a modern and timelessly elegant design, can be integrated into the system at any time. The highest level of security Thanks to Bluetooth LE, 128-bit encryption is guaranteed. Moreover, the decentralised structure of the system ensures optimum fail-safety. Trouble-free installation The frogs are fitted into the recessmounted sockets by an electrician. Done. No cables, server, intermediate connectors or other additional components are required. Privacy included No IT infrastructure required: the system data and control data are stored and processed only by the frogs in your own four walls. No data transmission to external servers. Wireless, whether a first installation or retrofit The frogs communicate with each other and with the control device via Bluetooth LE. This means: no cables to lay, no damage to walls by cutting out channels, no dirt during installation and no additional installation costs.
Simple and ingeniously flexible frogblue offers revolutionary simplicity, brilliant performance and supreme flexibility. Our Bluetooth LE based system with mesh technology reveals its charm with the very first frog and demonstrates its full potential when fitted throughout entire apartments and commercial buildings. No matter whether these be new buildings or old. The frogblue principle makes a powerful impression, any time, anywhere. Why not start small? The frogblue system can be easily expanded. Why not operate all of your electrical devices with your app? The frogs are installed and connected directly to the power supply by a specialist. Have an electrician install one frog in a recess-mounted socket. Plug in a lamp. Download the frogblue app. The frog and the app recognise each other automatically. And away we go: switch on the lamp, switch off, dim the light, set a light timer. All using your smart phone, from the comfort of your sofa. A pleasurable experience. Door intercom systems, door and window monitoring, and the retrieval of information and control of your smart home from anywhere in the world etc. can be integrated into the system at any time. Have a handful of frogs installed in the corresponding recess-mounted sockets, switches and electrical circuits. Done. The frogs contact and coordinate with each other automatically and register with your app. Enjoy simply editing your ideal configuration. Naturally, all of the devices can still be operated individually using their switches, as before. He knows which frog is best for each application. He knows his job and ensures that everything works perfectly from the word go. Expertise has its worth so that frogblue can be operated with effortless ease.
14/15 frogblue Products Products for all types of application frogblue system components are ideally suited for initial installations and for retrofitting a smart home. Frogs and cubes need no special cabling and no central unit in order to communicate with each other. They can be installed in rooms and buildings without any great IT expertise. With their versatile variants, they cover the entire spectrum of intelligent living. The intelligent system elements are connected directly to the main power supply in the house (). Equipped with Bluetooth LE technology with 128-bit encryption, they offer innovative features such as an automatic saving function in the case of power failure and rapid software updates during ongoing operation. Frogs. The freely configurable frogs are installed in recessmounted sockets behind existing switches and buttons. The system is controlled via the frogblue Bluetooth LE network. Connected to the electricity supply network, they offer switching and dimming for lights, and control functions for shutters and blinds. The frogs contact each other via integrated Bluetooth LE and automatically form a network, whose reach expands with each new frog. 53 48 mm 21 mm Cubes. Thanks to their compact size, they can be installed in any recess-mounted socket. They add comfort and security functions to the system, such as visualisation, controls, access control, movement detection, door opening, and audio and video communication. The cubes have two inputs for connecting and checking lowvoltage contacts with a cable length of up to 100 m. 81 81 mm 12 mm
