Can I equip my current Bosch appliances with Home Connect?

Upgrading or retrofitting Bosch appliances is difficult, as a solution installed at a later date doesn’t always work as well in comparison to a solution planned right from the start. Also, it's comparatively expensive. In addition, household appliances are subject to special security precautions that must be observed and checked even when replacing electronic equipment on-site.

Can other elements such as light or heating be incorporated in the Home Connect system?

This isn’t envisaged so far, at the moment we're really focusing on home appliances. However, we're keeping an open mind, in that our devices and the entire Home Connect system can be integrated into other home automation systems.

We are already working with several partners like Nest and Philips Hue and are always keen to extend our network.

Does Home Connect protect my data?

This seal covers aspects such as encryption and data protection in accordance with the German Data Protection Act, as well as verification of internal and external compliance regulations.

Does Home Connect cost money and where can I download it?

The Home Connect app is free and can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
