The small green control modules, called frogs, are the heart of every frogblue system and form the basis of the Bluetooth®-based smart building solution from frogblue. Our frogs can switch, dim, measure, open doors or react to buttons, switches and window contacts.
Connected to the mains or battery-powered, they are linked together with “virtual cables” via the frogblue Bluetooth®mesh network. They forward messages and thus extend the range. Data transfer between the frogs is always encrypted (128 bit), and this in addition to Bluetooth®. frogs are smart, packed with innovative functions, are very easy to configure and do not require a central unit or control cabinet. With a power consumption of just 0.2 watts, they are also extraordinarily energy-conscious.
Installed in a deep flush-mounted back box (recommended socket depth: 63 mm) behind any conventional switch/button, junction box, weatherproof outdoor socket or lamp outlet, up to three switches or buttons can be connected to this multifunctional 3-channel input.
With the 3 inputs of the frogIn3-AC, you can, for example, operate your three garden lights individually from any desired location in the house. This allows each input to control a different garden light. The frogIn3-AC communicates wirelessly via Bluetooth® with the frogAct1-1 installed on garden lights, for example. It then forwards the message to the other frogs. A motion detector could be connected to each of the free inputs of the actuators.
frogs can be controlled with the frogblue HomeApp via smartphone or tablet (iOS and Android), frogDisplay, frogKey or simply via the conventional switch/button connected to a frog. We always recommend buttons, as the full range of functions can be used with individual and different touch patterns, such as double or triple clicks, etc.
