The Internet of Things is a digital network composed of interconnected objects (devices) and at the same time a network connecting with the physical world. FOX is a clever control system that uses a Wi-Fi network, see if it will help you too!
This was the definition used by British entrepreneur Kevin Ashton in 1999, when the term was first publicly introduced. However, the very concept of networks connecting "smart" devices is older. Discussions on this topic began in the 1980s. However, it was only in the next decade that such an idea began to be developed. The popularity of this concept is proven by the fact that over 20 billion devices currently cooperate with each other around the world in the Internet of Things.
FOX system - single Wi-Fi relay
The FOX system fits perfectly into this concept and becomes an element of this extensive network. FOX is a clever control system using a Wi-Fi network, entirely designed and manufactured by the Polish company - F&F. To maintain a high level of security and privacy protection, FOX uses proprietary cloud solutions. The system servers do not store any user data except their e-mail address. The connection between the mobile application and devices is fully encrypted.

Controlling devices with the FOX system
To control the devices, the FOX system uses a free mobile application, which is available for devices with iOS and Android systems.
The system architecture allows for its free expansion. You can start playing with the system after installing a single control module. Over time, your expectations from the system will probably be higher, which will result in more control modules appearing in your installation. The design team made every effort to make the application user-friendly and the setup process intuitive. We haven't forgotten about new trends such as the "dark theme".

FOX enables integration with the Google Home application, in which the system is organized by creating a virtual home and arranging devices in appropriate rooms. The classic application-level control is complemented by voice control via the Google Assistant. The service is now available in Polish. After simple configuration, controlling individual devices can be as simple as saying the phrase: "Ok Google. Open all the blinds,” “Turn on the blue light in the entertainment room,” or, when you leave the house, “Ok Google. Turn off all devices."
It will soon be possible to integrate with other voice assistants such as Apple Siri and Amazon Alexa. The well-known online calendars were used to create schedules (commonly known as programmers), which are an extremely popular and useful tool that facilitates time management. They allow you to share events with other users. It is often possible to share the calendar with selected people. This functionality is possible thanks to the iCalendar standard, which is supported by the largest service providers such as Google, Microsoft and Apple. FOX devices also support this data exchange format, which allows for convenience and flexibility when composing even very complex schedules and allows granting permissions to other users.
