Fritz!Box Smarthome integrate with Apple HomeKit: Homebridge

If you use an AVM Fritz! box, you can also use it to control suitable smart home devices, especially smart radiator valves.

Now that Google is also launching its Wi-Fi system on the German market, AVM has "countered" with a lab firmware. If you install the laboratory firmware 6.88 BETA (download from the AVM website), the network overview changes - a Fritz!Repeater 1750E that is also present in the network is also automatically updated.

Fax via VoIP & VDSL: Cisco SPA112 to Fritz!Box 7490

If you want to operate a hardware fax on a VoIP connection, you must either connect it directly to the Fritz!Box or use an adapter such as the Cisco SPA112. Operating an analog fax machine is not necessarily easy for customers with an "All-IP" connection (or whatever the respective provider calls the product). Analog devices can be connected to the Fritz!
