FAKRO is a Polish manufacturer of roof windows and related products, including electric skylights, roller shutters, awning blinds and internal blinds. Its electric products are controlled through wall keypads and remotes on Z-Wave, through a newer Wi-Fi range managed from an app, or through the FAKRO Smart app.
FAKRO runs more than one system side by side. The older Z-Wave range uses FAKRO's own keypads and remotes, and can be reached from a phone through a Z-Wave internet gateway. The newer Wi-Fi products are operated from the FAKRO Smart app or the wBox app, and FAKRO says they work with Google Assistant, with Alexa also named for the FAKRO Smart app.
That suits people who want motorised roof windows and blinds with a standard radio protocol, particularly Z-Wave owners who already run Homey, Home Assistant or a Fibaro or Vera gateway. It is more confusing for a new buyer, because the Z-Wave and Wi-Fi ranges are separate and the pages we found do not say clearly which products belong to which.

The current FAKRO app for Wi-Fi products. It controls compatible FAKRO devices, builds automation scenarios, monitors windows and doors, and also manages other Tuya Smart devices over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. The App Store listing from Fakro Sp. z o.o. says it integrates Tuya and Matter devices. FAKRO's press release names Google Play and says Alexa and Google Assistant are supported.
FAKRO's Wi-Fi system page says its devices are controlled from a smartphone with the wBox app, on a technology it calls uWiFi. The app is published by Blebox sp. z o.o., not FAKRO, and we could not confirm how it relates to the FAKRO Smart app.
An app for roofers and installers, not for home control. It runs a loyalty programme with QR code scanning and gives access to installation manuals and videos.
FAKRO's Z-Wave range covers roof windows with Z-Wave motors, ARZ roller shutters and ARF, ARP and AMZ blinds, controlled by wall keyboards (ZWK10, ZWG1, ZWG3), remotes (ZWP10, ZWPTV) and a weather module. The ZWG1 manual specifies 868.43 MHz, up to 40 m range and up to 232 devices per network. The ZWS12 chain actuator is on the Z-Wave Alliance product list (version 4.51, not Z-Wave Plus).
For phone or web control of the Z-Wave range, FAKRO's page says an internet gateway with a Z-Wave interface is needed, giving Fibaro and Vera as examples that are not FAKRO products. We found no FAKRO-made gateway.
FAKRO's Wi-Fi system uses a home router, runs on a technology it calls uWiFi, and is operated through the wBox app. A separate FAKRO article says Wi-Fi products use the FAKRO Smart app, and that ARF and ARP blinds work with the Tuya ecosystem.
The FAKRO Smart App Store listing says the app integrates Tuya and Matter devices. We found no statement that FAKRO's own windows or blinds are Matter devices, so this is unconfirmed.
FAKRO's Wi-Fi system page says it works with Google Assistant, enabling Google Home and voice control of FAKRO products. A FAKRO article names Google Home for voice control and schedules.
FAKRO's press release for the FAKRO Smart app says it works with Alexa and Google Assistant, and a FAKRO blog post says the blinds work with Alexa and Google Home. We found no setup page, and the Z-Wave range has no stated voice support.
No FAKRO-maintained integration found. Users on the Home Assistant forum report that FAKRO Z-Wave skylights (ZWS12) work through Z-Wave JS, but the ZRH12 remote needs manual association groups and appears only as a node with a battery entity. The Z-Wave JS integration is built into Home Assistant and is not maintained by FAKRO.
FAKRO publishes an app on the Homey app store, labelled FAKRO Nederland Official. It lists AMZ Komfort, ARF/ARP NE, ARZ Komfort, the electric skylight and VMZ, all Z-Wave, with a Homey Bridge required. It shows Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server. A forum thread says FAKRO itself is the developer, and users reported gaps and paused development in early 2022, so it is worth checking current support.
The openHAB Z-Wave binding includes a FAKRO ZWS12 chain actuator definition, maintained by the openHAB project rather than FAKRO. The page is a mirror of the binding documentation, and we did not open openHAB's own site.
No FAKRO service found, and IFTTT's own page was not opened. FAKRO says devices work with Tuya-compatible apps, which may offer their own IFTTT link.

No FAKRO developer API found. The Z-Wave range uses the open Z-Wave standard, and the wBox app is made by Blebox, which publishes an open API, but we could not confirm it covers FAKRO products.
