With the "Fritz!Smart Energy 250" energy sensor, AVM is expanding its smart home portfolio with a consumption monitoring device. The sensor is magnetically attached to digital electricity meters and reads energy data via infrared.

The connection to the "Fritz!Box" is established via DECT radio, and the analysis is carried out via the "Fritz!App Smart Home," the "Fritz!OS" web interface, or the free "MyFritz!Net" online service. Consumption values can be evaluated over various time intervals—even over the long term, e.g., weeks, months, and years.
The sensor supports the optimization of self-consumption, for example, with photovoltaic systems or EV charging stations. Using freely definable routines, a socket such as the "Fritz!Smart Energy 200" can be automatically activated when excess power from the PV system is available. Power is supplied via two AA batteries or a USB-C port. The sensor is compatible with most digital electricity meters in Germany.
Since the installation of smart electricity meters will be mandatory in Germany starting in 2025, the company says the sensor is a future-proof solution. It is available now for €89 (RRP). The manufacturer provides a checklist for commissioning and further information at fritz.com/stromsensor .
