Which app do I need to download to use the system (Bosch Smart Home app, requirements, settings, app access)?
To set up and control the Bosch Smart Home system, you need the free Bosch Smart Home app. You can find this in the Google Play Store or the Apple Store.
You can also find the Smart Home Camera app free of charge in both app stores.
Minimum requirements for the respective operating system can be found at https://www.bosch-smarthome.com/system-requirements/
Downloading the app from the app store does not work, what can I do (Bosch Smart Home App, Bosch Smart Camera App, requirements, IOS, Android)?
Make sure that you have an Internet connection and are using the latest version of the operating system.
Minimum requirements for the respective operating system can be found at https://www.bosch-smarthome.com/system-requirements/
The Bosch Smart Home app is only available in the official app store. If you cannot find the app despite searching correctly in the app store, your smartphone is currently not compatible with Bosch Smart Home.
My smartphone no longer connects to my Bosch Smart Home controller. What can I do (Bosch Smart Home app, connection, range, WLAN, remote access, requirements)?
Please ensure that you have activated remote access or that you are in your own WLAN. In addition, the Smart Home controller should always be supplied with power and connected to the router.
Please also note whether the top two LEDs on the top of your Smart Home controller light up white throughout.
If the problem persists, briefly disconnect the Smart Home controller from the power supply and restart it.
If you need further assistance with this, please contact ourCustomer support.
A created device is not visible in the app. What can I do (Bosch Smart Home app, settings, access app)?
Select the following menu item in the Bosch Smart Home app:
- "Add (+)" -> Already installed device.
- Select the device to be displayed. If the corresponding device cannot be found, please install it again.
If the problem persists, briefly disconnect the Smart Home controller from the power supply and restart it.
If you need further assistance with this, please contact ourCustomer support.
The login to the Bosch Smart Home app has failed. What can I do (password, requirements, WLAN, router, remote access)?
If you are unable to log into the app, please check whether you have a Wi-Fi connection to your router if you are using the system without remote access. If you are not at home, make sure that your system is enabled for remote access. You will then need an Internet connection via your cell phone. The minimum requirements here are two signal bars and an EDGE connection (marked with an "E" on the reception bar).
If you have any further questions or problems with the integration, accessibility or use of the Bosch Smart Home system, please do not hesitate to contact ourCustomer supportreport.
How can I change/reset my system password (Bosch Smart Home system app, password, requirements)?
Change
You can change your password in the settings of your Bosch Smart Home app. To do this, you must enter your current password. You can find the settings for this under: More >> System >> Change system password.
Reset
If you have forgotten your current password, you can reset it under "Forgot password". However, this only works if the corresponding end device was already paired with the Smart Home controller and is connected to the home network. You can find the settings for this under: More >> System >> Change system password >> Forgot password.
Factory setting
If the old system password is not known and there is no already connected smartphone/tablet, then unfortunately the Smart Home controller must be reset and the components must be taught in again.
Why are there so many different apps from Bosch? How are they connected (access app, information)?
We differentiate between the Bosch Smart Home System app and apps for special domains / products.
The Bosch Smart Home System App covers cross-functional use cases with Bosch and integrated non-Bosch products. The system app also takes care of basic functions and covers a wide range of functions, but does not always go into depth.
There are special apps and systems for the special functions, such as the following apps:
- Bosch Smart Cameras -> 360° indoor camera II and Eyes outdoor camera II
- BSH Hausgeräte -> For products in the household appliance sector
Please note that some of the products described and their functions may only be available in Germany and Austria.
What can I do if the installation takes a long time and the update screen is displayed (system update, Smart Home controller, Smart Home controller II)?
If you are using your Smart Home controller for the first time, it will download an internal update. This process can take up to 30 minutes due to the large amount of software supplied, depending on the available bandwidth. As soon as all LEDs on the controller light up white, the link between the Bosch Smart Home app and the Bosch Smart Home controller can be established.
Can I control the Bosch Smart Home app with my tablet (access app, information)?
It is possible to operate the Bosch Smart Home app with a tablet. However, the application itself is optimized for cell phones.
How do I get to the in-app help in my Bosch Smart Home app (settings, information)?
