Control your Bosch Smart Home from your BMW

Feel at home on the road – and control your home: In your BMW, these smart home dreams come true. There’s no need to change the way you do things – with just a few steps, you can take your favorite voice assistants with you in your car. As a result, you can turn on your heating to have your home nice and warm while you’re still on your way home.

No need to change the way you do things

“ Hey Siri, activate ‘Leave home’ !”

Whether you’re in your smart home or your BMW – the voice commands for smart control are the same.

Thanks to BMW and Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa Car Integration or Android Auto, the voice assistants Siri, Alexa and Google become your passengers.

No need
for detours

Going back specially to check whether the light really is switched off or to turn down the heating? Not in a BMW!

You can do all of these day-to-day things in comfort during your journey, with no need for detours. A simple voice command is all it takes to control your smart home.

No
distractions

Looking at your smartphone while driving, even for a short time, can be dangerous.

You can therefore control your smart home safely via your BMW’s microphones – without having to pick up your smartphone.

Your hands remain on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road – for greater safety when driving.

Control your Bosch Smart Home from your BMW: Here's how it can look

Leave the house in a leisurely manner

Put on your coat, close the door and drive off – instead of going through all the rooms switching off lights, lowering shutters, turning down the heating and pulling out plugs to save electricity.

You can relax and do all of these day-to-day things while you’re pulling off your drive or when you’re well on your way.

“ Hey Siri, activate ‘Leave home’ !”

After all, Apple CarPlay is installed in your BMW, allowing you to control devices and scenarios easily via voice assistant.

Arrive home in comfort

After a long day, there’s nothing better than returning to a warm, brightly lit home when you pull up on your drive. This may not sound very energy-efficient, but it is! A

“ Hey Siri, activate ‘Arrive home’ !”

when you’re driving home is all it takes to get your smart home warm and welcoming for your arrival: While everything is locked and switched off to save electricity during the day, you’ll now be welcomed by lights in your garage and hallway as well as warmth throughout your house.

Live an efficient, environmentally friendly life

If you keep your home nice and cozy only when you’re actually at home, you can save large amounts of energy – up to 30 %.

If you’d like to protect the environment and save money, you can easily do this while you drive:

“ Hey Siri, set the temperature in the living room to 18 degrees. ”

prevents you heating an empty house unnecessarily. You can also switch off lights that you’ve forgotten or devices in standby mode plugged into smart plugs to save electricity.

Check everything is in order while out and about

“Did I really close the bathroom window?” When we’re busy getting ready in the morning, we can easily forget to do routine things – or at least we’re not really sure when driving to work whether we actually shut the window.

Instead of spending the day with a feeling of unease, simply ask:

“ Hey Siri, are all the windows and doors closed? ”

Thanks to Apple CarPlay, Siri is always with you in your BMW and can tell you the status of your smart home devices anywhere and at any time – for a feeling of certainty and a relaxed day.
