2 min. readlast update: 11.13.2025

VELUX App Control and VELUX ACTIVE with NETATMO are both smart home products that can control your VELUX windows and accessories from your smartphone. The difference between the two products is: 

VELUX ACTIVE with NETATMO: With this product, you are able to control your home with an app. You can manually operate your VELUX products to any desired position, and you can also make scheduled automations based on your personal settings, such as how many times a day you want to air the room. Additionally, you can make smart automations based on your indoor climate. The indoor climate sensor included in your VELUX ACTIVE starter pack detects the indoor temperature, humidity and CO2 level in your home. If the readings are outside of your preferred range, VELUX ACTIVE automatically ensures ventilation and sun protection to always maintain a healthy indoor climate in your home. 

VELUX App Control: With this product, you are also able to control your home with the app. You can manually operate your VELUX products to any desired position, and you can make scheduled automations based on your personal settings, such as how many times a day you want to air the room. As no indoor climate sensor is included when purchasing your VELUX App Control, you are NOT able to make any smart automations. However, you can always add sensors to your VELUX App Control, whenever you want, and hereby upgrade it to a VELUX ACTIVE product. 

Both products are controlled with the same app in your app store, "VELUX ACTIVE with NETATMO".
