Multifunctional 1-channel switching actuator for lights or other appliances with 3 inputs for buttons and switches (110-240V~). Featuring integrated logic module with comfort and timer functions, power measurement and short circuit detection (1x 400 W @ 230 V~).

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. 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, this multifunctional 1-channel actuator can be used to control the lights or other appliances.

For example, this and other frogs can be used to quickly and easily implement an alternating or cross-switching system. No cable laying, no central unit and no control components in the sub-distribution board are necessary. The living room, dining room and kitchen lights can be controlled with just three frogblue units (frogAct1-3) installed behind the light switches/buttons, because three light switches can be connected to each of the 400 W actuators. Additional centralised, building-wide functions or lighting scenarios can also be assigned to the light switches by using different clicking patterns (e.g. double click). A double click could be configured for all or selected light switches to switch on the lights in all three rooms at once.

The 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.
