Bosch Smart Home
What it is
Bosch Smart Home connects compatible devices through the Smart Home Controller II and Bosch Smart Home app. The controller links Bosch and partner products, forms the system’s operating base, and is required in exactly one unit per Smart Home system. Users can control devices remotely through the app, voice assistants, automations, scenarios, and preconfigured services. Listed integrations include Matter, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, BMW, Philips Hue, Osram LEDVANCE Smart+, and Home Connect. Home Connect works with Bosch, Siemens, and Gaggenau washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, and coffee machines. Bosch says personal data is stored locally on the controller, while remote-access data is encrypted to a phone or tablet. The app requires Android 8.0 or later or iOS 15.5 or later; beta versions are unsupported. A free plan is available without a trial. Home+ costs €4.99 per month and includes up to three systems, camera clips, and 30-day cloud storage.
