The FoxMaker application is a comprehensive tool enabling the complete adjustment of the Fox system capabilities to your very own needs.
The use of a clear and intuitive interface made it possible to achieve the desired combination of rich and flexible functionality and ease of installation and configuration.
The application is licensed freeware – for private as well as commercial uses – so that all users have free and unlimited access to its full capabilities.
INTUITIVE GRAPHICAL INTERFACE
Using the application does not require knowledge of programming, the graphical interface is divided into three sections:
Elements of project structure: devices, controllable outputs and realisable functions.
Window for editing project elements.
Additional tabs: information about the correctness of the project configuration and the console communication with the system.
QUICK DEVICE CONFIGURATION
The application is able to connect up to the running Fox system by the Fox NET module, automatically adding a list of manipulators and modules to the newly created project. In the the device’s editor, there is the possibility to show the resource inputs/outputs, giving them names and select a basic action configuration.
At this point, the user specifies that the first module output controls wall lamps in the living room, and a pair of the last outputs controls the engine of the blinds in the kitchen.
FLEXIBLE CONTROL OF LIGHTING AND BLINDS
You are allowed to specify the system functionality in a clear relation between system events and its operations. This universal tool lets you connect your manipulators with any controllable element of the system.
Krótkie dotknięcie pola z podświetlaną ikoną w manipulatorze Fox TOUCH może przełączać Żyrandol w jadalni (moduł Fox DIMM), a jego dłuższe przytrzymanie sterować poziomem naświetlenia. Inny przycisk pozwoli podnosić, opuszczać i zatrzymywać Prawą roletę w jadalni (moduł Fox OUT). Kolejny będzie zmieniał nastawę koloru Paska RGB pod sufitem (moduł Fox LED).
SIMPLE CONTROL OF HEATING AND SCHEDULING TASKS
The available functions do not only determine the reaction of the buttons, but also the basic system autonomy allowing to replace the user in the daily control of the house. Popular solutions for this are the heating control based thermometers built into the Fox TOUCH and Fox SET manipulators as well as schedules performing routine tasks.
The system will take care that in winter evenings the temperature maintains at a comfortable level, and while the residents’ absence the household stays warm on an economic way. On weekends, the blinds go up at nine in the morning, and lower at nine in the evening.
EXTENDED OPTIONS OF AUTOMATION
If the basic range of functionality is not enough for the more demanding user, the application offers the possibility of extensive configuration of automated system behaviours. The advanced task functions make it possible to determine complexe system behaviours. This configuration is created based on the convenient graphical editor operating on readible block connections.
Turning on the lighting button on the condition that another light is turned off and a sensor in the corridor is violated; automatic switch-off of the lights in the bathroom after some minutes of movement sensor inactivity – the user can specify this kind of system tasks thanks to the FoxMaker.

USING THE DIMMING FUCTION
The Fox DIMM module enables up to four independent lighting circuits equipped with a dimmimg function. Thanks to the ramp function, it is possible to set the lightening and darkening of the light. At the moment of turning on the circuit, using the switch on the wall, the light brightens from 0 to 100 % within a few seconds. The module reacts similarly turning off the lights. This is a desirable feature, especially at night when we do not want to be blinded by the light.
SAVING ENERGY
Fox DIMM is an effective tool to save electrical energy. Thanks to the twilight sensor connected to the module, you can program the turning on and off of the lights depending on the time and the light intensity outside. If it is gray and cloudy outside, the lights will be turned on at 30 %, the closer the evening is coming, the stronger the light will be – after sunset it is at full power.
MOVEMENT SENSORS AND LIGHTING
Connecting the movement sensors from the alarm system to the Fox DIMM module lets the system control the lights, depending on whether the rooms are occupied or not. If the sensor detects motion, the light turns on automatically, and stays on as long as there is no further movement detected. In case that you would like to deactivate the function, you can simply click onto the appropriate button of the programmable switch.
LIGHTING AND BLINDS
When the system is lowering the blinds, Fox DIMM will automatically turn on the lighting in a room to maintain an appropriate lighting level. The more the blinds go down, the more lighting will be there.

Thanks to the programmable switch, the user can click on the icon, representing the blinds, and control them in the way of “lower – stop – raise – stop”. Therefore, holding the icon could mean controlling all blinds in the same way in the entire building. You can also include rain, wind and lighting sensors to control the blinds.
Convenience and savings.
LIGHTING
The Fox OUT module allows you to connect up to eight light points which are to turn on or off. They can be controlled from the programmable manipulators, via movement sensors or from the FoxControl mobile application.
GATES | GARDEN | ELEVATION
Thanks to the eight relay outputs, there is also the possibility to connect different devices with the on/off function. This gives the opportunity to control devices ranging from the coffee machine to the entrance gates.
No problem
IRON TURNED ON
Using the mobile application enables the remote control of resources. If you are not sure, if you turned off the iron, connected to the plug socket, you can always deactivate it with a single click on the phone.
GUESTS ARE ARRIVING – GATE OPENS AUTOMATICALLY
Do you have announced guests? Click on your switch onto the icon “Guests”. When they come to your property within the arranged time and ring the bell, the gate will automatically open, and the garden lights will light up the way to the entrance.
No need to worry
IRRIGATION
A beautiful garden is an extraordinary amount of work. Using the Fox system, there is no need to think about watering, the Fox OUT module will start on appropriate time, depending on whether there is or was rain or not. Therefore, Fox will check the soil moisture and decides how long to water the lawn and plants.
Presence simulation
ILLUMINATED ELEVATION
Fox OUT allows you to simulate presence during vacation or business trip. On the specified time the lighting will be turned on in the living room, and in the evening up the front elevation. Doing this will warn potential intruders off, being convinced of your presence in the house.
FLOWERS AT HOME
Remember, flowers need a proper amount of sun. When you leave and close the blinds, you take away their opportunity to grow, and consequently kill them. FOX Out will not allow this. During your absence, selected blinds will raise automatically during the day, so that the plants can grow and beautify your home.
