When it comes to cooling, we like to know that our food is stored safely and sustainably. With a focus on food waste, you can use the Bosch Home Connect app to check the contents of your fridge thanks to Inventory list. Making it easier to shop smart and waste less. Whilst you're out shopping, you can also turn on Super Cool and Super Freezer functions to ensure that your appliances are at the optimal temperature to protect your new groceries, as well as your existing ones.
Keep your cool
Say, you're not at home and there's a power cut. The temperature in your fridge or freezer starts to increase, you would want to know, right? Or maybe someone at home has left the fridge door open, using up precious energy. Bosch Home Connect will make sure your weekly food shop doesn't go to waste, by simply sending you a push notification as soon as the temperature changes significantly.
Smart preparation for food shopping
Weekly food shop ahead? Then prepare your fridge or freezer for your return with Super Cool or Super Freeze, to lower the temperature for a period of time to help cool large quantities of groceries quickly. Helping you keep your food fresh and ready for future meals.
Find the perfect recipe for the food in your fridge
Thanks to the Inventory list, Bosch Home Connect always knows what you have in stock and can provide relevant delicious recipes. Fill your inventory list by ticking something off from your Bosch Home Connect shopping list, and get a notification before your food goes off.

Great Smart Device
I love the cameras on this device, from thinking it was a bit of a gimmic that we wouldn't use much, I've ended up using them every week, checking what's in the fridge while shopping etc. The freezer section is a little small, but I think it's about average for these sorts of devices.5Star fridge freezer
This really is the best money can buy. It's well designed like all my previous Bosch fridge freezers, but 6 years on since my last Bosch the technology has massively improved. My veg and soft fruit stays just as fresh by at least a week longer than before and results in less waste. There's two cameras that post a snapshot of what's in the fridge as the door shuts which comes in handy when I've been away a few days and do a family shop on the way back home. The frost free freezer does what it says on the tin, and I love the brushed stainless steel finish so overall I'm a happy customer.Great item
Fantastic well it's bosh so it would be fantastic qualityA Tardis - Perfect for a Family
I'd read lots of good reviews about this model and couldn't agree more - great capacity and the Vitafresh drawer is perfect for a filling up with lots of fruit and veg for the family. Also frost free freezer is a dream! No more frozen drawers! Thank you Bosch.What you need to know. All in one go.
Download the Home Connect app and register an account.
The app is free of charge and can be downloaded from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store.
You can connect your appliance with Home Connect to your Wi-Fi by scanning the provided QR code. You'll find it on the enclosed Quick Start Guide. If you don't have this document, just press ‘I don’t have a printed guide’, and enter your E-number. Or use the Connection Guide on the Home Connect website to find the QR code for your appliance.
Ensure your mobile device is on the same Wi-Fi network that you are connecting your Home Connect appliance to. In the case of a hood and hob make sure they are both paired to your Home Connect account. If your router has a separated dual band network, ensure the names for the two networks are different. If you use Wi-Fi extenders make sure the extender has a different name to the router and that you are pairing to the extender.
If incorrect credentials are sent to your Home Connect appliance by the Home Connect app it won't be able to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Try forgetting the network on your device and re-connecting to make sure you have the correct password.
If you do not have access to your instructions you can find them online here.
Alternatively, if you know the E-Number of your appliance, you can press the ‘I don’t have a printed guide’ button during the pairing process, and enter the E-Number for instructions inside the App.
Ensure you follow the Home Connect installation guide that came with your appliance. Each appliance requires different steps. These steps can also be found in the Home Connect app whilst pairing.
Some devices will search for a connection that has Internet; during the paring process your device will connect with the appliance‘s Wi-Fi network to transfer credentials. Since the appliance does not have an internet connection the mobile device will switch to another network that does, interrupting the pairing process. To prevent this from happening turn on Airplane/Flight mode, then go to your Wi-Fi settings and turn Wi-Fi back on, make sure you are connected to your router Wi-Fi network.
Check whether you can get online with another device in your home. Make sure you are not using mobile data to test your Internet connection. Ensure there is a strong network connection where the appliance is installed.
Unplug your routers (and range extenders/Wi-Fi repeaters) ensuring all lights are off. Keep unplugged for 30 seconds and then plug your routers back in. Wait until the router completely restarts and check the connection with another mobile device. Check your router‘s user manual for more information.
Uninstall the Home Connect app, then download and re-install the latest version of the Home Connect app. After doing so, restart your mobile device and begin the pairing process again.
You should factory reset your Home Connect appliance. In your use and care manual you will find instructions for resetting your appliance.
The Home Connect system works with all standard Wi-Fi routers available on the market provided they are no more than five years old (estimated). For security reasons, Wi-Fi networks must be encrypted (WPA or WPA2 encryption). If your Wi-Fi network is not encrypted, you will not be able to register your appliance.
You can find detailed descriptions and troubleshooting instructions on the Home Connect website. See all error codes.
To make sure your precious data is safe, Home Connect only works with encrypted Wi-Fi networks. This way, using Home Connect is as safe as possible for the user. This also includes regular system checks to guard against professional hackers.
The Home Connect app is available for iOS and Android.
