frogControl is the intuitive app to control the Bluetooth® based smart building solutions of frogblue.
Whether lighting, blinds, heating, access or the alarm system, with this app you have everything under control. Of course also remotely with WLAN and via Internet. Always encrypted and secured.
frogControl communicates directly and without detours with the frogblue components. These components build up a reliable Bluetooth® mesh network among themselves and do not require a central control unit.

In frogControl, the user has the possibility to define or adjust scenes comfortably by himself at any time without having to call the expert again.
The setup for the frogControl comes automatically from the frogProject app, which the installer uses to configure the frogblue system. So it knows the rooms and names of the lights and doors right away. Furthermore, frogDisplay can be used to control the system even when you are not at home.

The app offers among others the following functions:
- Light control/light scenes
- Shading control
- Astro function
- Remote control
- Door opening function
- Creating and configuring scenes


The company
frogblue offers consumers and installers a new, easy way to smart home solutions - without cables, without a central control unit, without time-consuming work, without IT technology, without a control cabinet, without space in a sub-distributor and without a cloud. The system is based on so-called Frogs, which are installed behind the light switch in the flush-mounted box. These intelligent control modules offer everything that a smart house or smart building must be able to do. In addition, it is fail-safe and doubly secure thanks to double encryption and time stamps.
frogblue is a German medium-sized company and 100% made in Germany. The company attaches great importance to high-quality and user-friendly components. That's why the Frogs are certified by the independent VDE Institute and tested by more than 100 tests not only for electrical safety but also for fire protection.
