Socket control for local roller shutter and sun protection automation – easy setup via smartphone

With the CentralControl CC11, Becker-Antriebe GmbH is launching a new socket-format controller that locally controls roller shutters and sun protection — without an additional control unit or internet connection. Once plugged in and set up, the CC11 reliably handles daily automation: time programs are stored once and then run automatically.

Focus on specialist retailers: commissioning and service without USB, PC, or internet

For specialist retailers and installers, the main advantage lies in the fast and straightforward commissioning process. The CC11 is configured entirely via smartphone using Bluetooth^®. This eliminates the need for typical tools such as USB sticks, PCs, or tablets in day-to-day operations — as well as the need for an internet connection. This saves time on site and reduces potential sources of error when handing over the system to the end customer.

In combination with the Becker Tool, the CentralControl CC11 supports key workflow steps directly on site: specialists can commission CentronicPlus networks and installations via smartphone, pair and remove devices, or reset them if required. Parameterization can also be carried out efficiently — for example by setting sun, wind, and other threshold values. In addition, the CC11 enables configuration and software updates over the air, allowing adjustments and updates to be performed without additional hardware.

Convenience for end customers: control via the Be:You app or directly on the device

The CC11 is also designed for ease of use for end users. With the new Be:You app, manual control is available at any time if needed — within Bluetooth range, the smartphone becomes a handheld transmitter. Alternatively, local operation is possible directly on the device using the up, stop, and down buttons. These can be configured flexibly, for example for central control of the entire installation or specifically for individual devices.

In addition, the CC11 supports time-based control across the entire installation. Up to 200 switching times can be programmed, while up to 50 Centronic or CentronicPlus devices can be integrated. Another practical feature for everyday use is the power reserve: if the device is temporarily unplugged, the clock continues running thanks to a 5-hour backup reserve, ensuring that stored schedules are retained.

Be:You app: one interface for Becker solutions

With the Be:You app, Becker is introducing a new end-user app that will bring together relevant functions and existing applications in a single interface in the future. Users will therefore need only one central app for Becker solutions — while also benefiting from a consistent operating logic.
