Smart home systems

Control your roller shutter with the FRITZ!Box.

The AVM FRITZ!Box is one of the most commonly purchased routers in Germany. If you have one of these routers, it will be really easy to control and automate the drive in your roller shutter. You just need the BoxCTRL drives from Becker. This new Becker-developed system communicates directly with your router, making it extra convenient to automate and control your roller shutter via the FRITZ!App SmartHome. Or via FRITZ! push-button. Or your FRITZ!Fon. Or Alexa and Google Assistant. Either way, it’ll always be a pleasant experience.

Study on the development of indoor temperatures in living spaces

Meterologists are predicting Mediterranean temperatures for Central Europe in just a few years. According to climate calculations, by 2045 there will be almost 100 days with indoor temperatures of at least 26 degrees. There are already countermeasures to protect living spaces from overheating: automated roller shutters and sun protection. During the day, the living spaces can remain at a pleasant temperature and, depending on the season, the heat can be kept outside or let in. The film deals with the findings of a study by the “Ingenieurbüro Hauser” (IBH), which was carried out on behalf of the „Repräsentanz Transparente Gebäudehülle“. For an active contribution to combating global warming.

Ecologically responsible

A further benefit is that in winter your roller shutters reliably keep the cold outside and prevent precious heat being lost via the windows. This takes the pressure off both your heating system and your wallet: You can achieve an energy saving of up to 15 percent with automated roller shutters. Everyone is a winner – and that includes the environment as well as future generations.

Qualitative investment

You won't increase the value of your property just by improving the energy balance. There is also an immediate payoff in terms of enhancing your quality of life. You may be sitting on the sofa or at your desk when the sun moves low in the sky and dazzles you unpleasantly. All it takes is a quick click of the mouse and the roller shutters or awning will automatically rectify the problem.

Tip: Be encouraged!

The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy encourages the replacement or initial installation of external sun protection systems. A motorised sun protection system can optimise the level of radiation – and the ministry believes that this is something worth encouraging. You can find out more information about this in the flyer, along with things that you need to consider when making your application.
