Do you always switch your lights on and off at the same times every day? Then let the Smart Home lighten your load:

With custom timers, you can adapt your lighting to suit your everyday routine.

Simply create your profile in the app and it will run through the specified programme each day without further ado, provided you have set the light control to “automatic”.

In this way, for example, your smart lights brighten up your start to the day automatically from 6 a.m. when the alarm goes off until you leave the house at 7 a.m. from Monday to Friday – and at the weekends, they let you have a lie-in.

Smart lights provide more safety and security in your home – this is because they are part of several pre-configured services that you just have to activate if you need them:

• Motion light : switches your lights on automatically (and off again after a pre-defined time) when a motion detector detects a movement. This reduces the risk of accidents and is especially practical for hallways, stairs or at night.
• Presence simulation : switches your lights and other smart devices on and off following an intelligent random principle. This makes your home look occupied when you’re not home – a preventative measure for warding off burglars.
• Fire safety alarm system : switches your smart lights on if there’s a fire so that you can see where you need to go to leave the house as quickly as possible through the smoke.
• Break-in alarm system : the bright lights cast a spotlight on the burglar to scare them off, and also to quickly catch the attention of watchful neighbours.

As well as the pre-defined services, you can also incorporate your Bosch Smart Home light control into scenarios and automations. You can create personalised scenarios and automations in your Bosch Smart Home app.

• Scenarios : Control several lights or other devices at the same time – with just a tap of your finger. Group together several lights in the “Upstairs lights” scenario, for instance, or add lights to your “Leaving home” scenario which puts various smart devices into the correct state for your absence.
• Automations : Control your lights using the if/then principle. To do this, simply create a suitable automation. In this way, your lights always know how to react in which situation, for example: “If sunset, then light in living room on” – and then you can experience the light coming on automatically when it gets dark outside.

You can even control 2 lights with just one Bosch Smart Home light control – separately or together.

You have the following options in this regard:

• Controlling two lights which are connected to a series switch
• Controlling two lights which are connected to two separate switches

In your Bosch Smart Home app, you can control both lights completely individually and create completely different profiles.

Practical: With your light control, you can automatically extend the radio signal range for certain devices in your Bosch Smart Home system.

This also allows you to place these in faraway places such as the cellar or attic without any issues.

The light/shutter control acts as a Smart Home repeater for the following devices:

• Twinguard
• Motion detector
• Twist
• Water alarm
• Outdoor siren
• Smart plug compact
• More light/shutter controls
