Using FRITZ!Smart Energy 250

FRITZ!Smart Energy 250 is a current sensor that reads the consumption data of your digital electricity meter and transmits it to your FRITZ!Box. For this purpose, the FRITZ!Smart Energy 250 is magnetically attached to the infrared interface (INFO) of the digital electricity meter. The consumption data is transmitted by the current sensor from the INFO interface to the connected FRITZ!Box and is then clearly displayed in the FRITZ!Box user interface and FRITZ!App Smart Home. This way you can precisely record your power consumption and make make targeted savings.

You can still use the current sensor in your smart home as a trigger for routines. This allows you to switch electric devices in your home on or off automatically whenever a predefined threshold value for power consumption is reached, for example.

Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.

Requirements

  • The electricity meter must have been provided by the meter operator. Other digital electricity meters, for example purchased from retail, are not suitable.
  • The electricity meter must not be included in the list of incompatible meters.
  • The INFO (infrared) interface on the electricity meter must have a magnetic surface to attach the FRITZ!Smart Energy 250 to and it must be activated.
  • The electricity meter must be accessible and located within radio range of the FRITZ!Box.
    If needed, a FRITZ!DECT Repeater 100 or FRITZ!Smart Gateway can be deployed between the electricity meter and the FRITZ!Box.

1 Preparations

If the LED on FRITZ!Smart Energy 250 lights up green after briefly pushing the Connect button, the connection to the FRITZ!Box and electricity meter is successfully established and the consumption data is transmitted. After a few minutes, the consumption data is displayed in menu "Smart Home > Devices and Groups" of the FRITZ!Box user interface on the profile page for FRITZ!Smart Energy 250 and in FRITZ!App Smart Home.
