Dimmer help

The programming of your Bosch Smart Home Dimmer was successful or the process has been confirmed.

Teaching or communication with the Smart Home controller has failed (e.g. because the wireless network has been disrupted or there is no longer a connection to the Bosch Smart Home controller).

The flush-mounted box behind the push-button should have a depth of at least 50mm. However, we recommend using a box with a depth of at least 60mm.

Yes, the Bosch Smart Home Dimmer also works without a Smart Home controller. However, flickering lamps may occur as the dimming range is configured in the teach-in wizard in the Bosch Smart Home app.

The teach-in mode of your Bosch Smart Home dimmer is active or the device is communicating with the Bosch Smart Home controller.

The use of an external button is optional. All necessary functions (e.g. resetting to factory settings or starting pairing mode) are also possible using the system button on the device. If you do not use a push-button, switching on/off and dimming the lights is only possible via the Bosch Smart Home app.

The connection diagram for your Bosch Smart Home Dimmer can be found in the enclosed quick start guide or can also be downloaded from our website.

No, the Bosch Smart Home Dimmer does not need to be combined with a switch or push-button. If you want to combine the Dimmer with a push-button, this is possible. In this case, you can install the Dimmer behind the existing push-button. If you do not use a push-button, switching on/off and dimming the lights is only possible via the Bosch Smart Home app. A switch is unsuitable for use.

You can define the dimming range in the teach-in wizard of the Bosch Smart Home Dimmer in the Bosch Smart Home app. This is then displayed visually in a graph. These settings can then be adjusted in the device settings.

The Bosch Smart Home Dimmer cannot be installed in an existing cross/changeover circuit.

The Dimmer can be operated physically with one or more buttons or with the Bosch Smart Home app. The Dimmer is incompatible with switches.

While a circuit is opened and closed with a switch (switch remains in the respective position), a push-button only emits a current pulse each time it is pressed. The push-button itself then returns to its initial position.

Make sure that your light source is dimmable. Depending on the product, it may be necessary to limit the dimming range used. To do this, follow the calibration instructions in the teach-in wizard or the device settings in the Bosch Smart Home app.

Check whether your Bosch Smart Home Dimmer can still be controlled manually. If this is the case, remove the power cable from your controller and restart it. Please also check whether the range of your Smart Home controller is sufficient. If you have connection problems, you can use a Bosch Smart Home plug compact to extend the range. If the problem persists, reset the Dimmer to factory settings and integrate it again.

If this does not lead to a solution, please contact either the Bosch Smart Home Community or our service team.

Yes, the Bosch Smart Home Dimmer can be selected as a device in the presence simulation. It then switches on at the last dimming level set.

The Dimmer has lost the connection to the Smart Home controller. If there is no loss of connection, the Dimmer may be defective, in which case please contact our Service.

To reset the Bosch Smart Home Dimmer to the factory settings, press and hold the system button until the status LED flashes orange quickly. Briefly release the system button and press again until the LED lights up green. The Bosch Smart Home Dimmer will now restart. Please note that it may take a few seconds before the Bosch Smart Home Dimmer is ready for operation again.

Alternatively, the following procedure is also possible: In the installed state with the push-button connected:

Press the button 6 times within a maximum period of 10 seconds.

If the rest was successful, the connected light source flashes briefly once again.

The device then restarts.

If you press the button briefly, the light switches on at the last brightness setting. Briefly pressing the button again switches the light off again.

If you press and hold the button when the light is switched on, the brightness changes. Depending on whether you have "dimmed up" or "dimmed down" beforehand, the brightness changes up to 100% or down to 0%.

Once the respective dimmer limit has been reached, you must briefly release the button and hold it down again to dim in the other direction.

Your Bosch Smart Home Dimmer can also be used outdoors if you use it in a suitable protective housing (e.g. IP66).

The Bosch Smart Home Dimmer is available for both the Smart Home controller and the Smart Home controller II in Apple Home Kit.

The childproof lock can be activated in the Smart Home app. Operation via an optionally connected button is then blocked.

Light/shutter control II can switch connected devices on and off on up to two circuits.

The Dimmer can only control one channel, but can regulate the flow of current to control the brightness of connected light sources.

The Bosch Smart Home Dimmer uses the ZigBee 3.0 radio protocol and also serves as a range extender for other ZigBee 3.0 devices.
