FRITZ! has released significant software updates for its ecosystem, including the FritzApp Smart Home and new beta versions of FritzOS 8.40.

The FritzApp Smart Home update for iOS (version 2.8.0) and Android (version 1.26.0) introduces the ability for users with routers running OS 8.50 or higher to create and edit automation zones. The update also provides online installation instructions for the FRITZ!Smart Thermo 303 and addresses a bug where geofencing automations failed to trigger.
