Software update information

NEW FUNCTIONS

• New service: Central heating control
  The new “central heating control” service allows the room temperature control of several rooms to be combined with a relay, thereby ensuring more efficient control of the central heating. The system uses the set temperature to control the heating of all rooms, and switches the central heating on or off as required. You can find it under “Services” > “Climate manager” > “Central heating control”.

• Find & filter automations (Android)
  Automations can be searched for by name and filtered by various criteria. This means that all automations relating to a specific device or a specific state can be displayed, for example. The feature will be implemented and rolled out in iOS at a later date.

• Twist
  The Twist can now also be assigned automations. When an automation is triggered manually via the Twist, the conditions within the automation are ignored.

IMPROVEMENTS

• iOS app
  
  • Critical information
    • In case of an alarm, the iPhone or iPad will now sound even if it is muted or focus is activated. This must be explicitly allowed.

  • New widgets
    • On devices with iOS 17 and newer, new widgets for scenarios, automations and open doors and windows can now be added and positioned freely on the home screen.

• Matter Bridge
  
  • The Matter Bridge share can now be restarted.
  • The connected Matter networks can now be displayed on the Matter Bridge partner page.

• Smart plug, smart plug compact, light control, light/shutter control II – used as light control
  
  • The start time of the energy consumption can be reset.
  • The date since the last reset is displayed. For existing devices, the energy consumption must be reset once to see the date.

• New firmware
  
  • Twist
    • Support for manually triggering automations
    • The battery warning threshold for the device has been adjusted
    • In rare cases, the battery warning shown was not passed on to the controller. This issue has been resolved.

BUG FIXES

• Smart Home controller II
  • Some Smart Home controller II devices had problems with the installation of new updates. This issue has been resolved.

• Room thermostat II 230 V
  • Following a Smart Home controller restart, it could sometimes take a long time for the current room temperature to appear in the app. This has been fixed.

• iOS app
  • Notifications for the “Temperature drop” service continued to be received even though they had been disabled. This issue has been resolved.
  • The new timer feature from the last update was also incorrectly displayed for relays configured as boilers. This issue has been resolved.

• Energy manager: Heat surplus
  • In certain configurations, the heat surplus could not be used in automations. This issue has been resolved.

• Texts
  • Missing translations have been added.

• Other minor bug fixes have been fixed.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

• SingleKey ID – Change of provider within the Bosch group
  • Due to changes within the group, the SingleKey ID will no longer be provided by Bosch.IO GmbH, but by Robert Bosch GmbH.
  • For customers, nothing will change during use. You can continue to use your SingleKey ID to sign up for all digital offers from Bosch and
  • its partners. The contents of the Terms of Use and Privacy Statements remain unaffected; only the contractual partner has changed.

• System requirements
  • As of this release, an iOS version higher than iOS 15 is required for the Bosch Smart Home app. The current app can still be used on these devices. However, you will no longer receive any updates.

• iOS 18
  • As of this release, the Bosch Smart Home app supports iOS 18.
  • When you update your iOS device to iOS 18, our previous widgets for scenarios and open doors & windows will no longer be supported by the operating system and will therefore be deleted for technical reasons. New widgets that have been supported since iOS 17 can be added for the Bosch Smart Home app. Previous widgets are still available on devices with iOS 17 and older.

• New functions, as well as certain enhancements and bug fixes, are not available until the controller and app updates have been installed. Please note that the app update will be distributed later and in waves.
