The AVM company offers an interesting software ecosystem that improves and expands the possibilities of using its products, and within it stand out: FRITZ!Apps, a suite of applications which have received numerous updates since their release and are fully functional free, release

It’s not enough to start a good software ecosystem, you have to maintain it, and therefore release the updates that enable it improve the security and functionality of such applications. That way, we’ll keep them up to date and continue to offer interesting value to users.

This is exactly what AVM did with FRITZ!Apps, which after the release of FRITZ!OS 7.50 have gained new functions which we will explain in detail in this article. I remind you that these applications are compatible with mobile devices based on Android and iOS and that you can find them in the application stores of each operating system (Google Play Store and App Store).

What’s new in FRITZ!Apps with FRITZ!OS 7.50

The first change is also the most visible, as a new design has been introduced in the Mesh overview in MyFRITZ!App, which now displays FRITZ! and home network devices connected to a wireless network so that we can see everything important at a glance. We can also assign names to our devices in the app, as well as prioritize internet access from certain devices, such as your work laptop or gaming PC.

MyFRITZ!App is, in my opinion, one of the most interesting that AVM offers within its FRITZ!Apps ecosystem, because allows us to obtain a large amount of information about our network and also about the devices that are connected to the wireless network even when we are away from home.

As we expected, it now offers a greater visibility of Mesh networks (or mesh networks) made up of a large number of devices. Thanks to the FRITZ!OS 7.50 update, we can see which router, repeater or network adapter each device is connected to, as well as the quality of its Wi-Fi connection, rename devices and prioritize them on the wireless network, as we said.

The MyFRITZ!App was also included in its iOS version auxiliary assistant for users with less knowledge, allowing them to configure mobile access to the user interface of their FRITZ!Box router in a very simple way.

FRITZ!App Smart Home is an AVM application designed for the digital home. With it, we can control devices of our own brand (such as smart plugs or thermostats), but also devices of other home automation manufacturers. With the FRITZ!OS 7.50 update scene management has been improved, that is, configuring different smart devices based on a specific scenario or time of day from predefined templates.

For example, when we return home, we can set the air conditioner to our comfort temperature, turn on the lights and disable the answering machine, simple touch in the FRITZ!App Smart Home application on our mobile phone. There is also a default scene for leaving home, and users can create their own scenes.
