Smart Plug - Installation
Smart Plug - Installation
My Bosch Smart Home plug cannot be integrated. What can I do (plug, installation, problem, reset, reset)?
If the Smart plug cannot be integrated, reset the device to the factory settings.
When plugging the device into a socket, press the system button until the LED flashes orange (at least 4 seconds).
Then release the button and press it again until the LED on the front lights up green.
The device now restarts and can be taught in again via the Smart Home app.
Please also see our reset video in this article or on ourBosch Smart Home Youtube Channel.
How do I install the Bosch Smart Home plug (radio-controlled socket, smart plug, installation, mounting)?
To install the Bosch Smart Home plug, all you need is the Bosch Smart Home app and the accessories included in the packaging. The Bosch Smart Home app guides you through the individual installation steps.
Please also refer to ourInstallation videoin this article or on ourBosch Smart Home Youtube Channel.
What can I do if the Smart plug is no longer accessible (connection, range, installation, mounting)?
If your Smart plug can no longer be reached, please check whether it can still be controlled directly on the device by hand.
If this is the case, it is possible that the distance between the controller and the component is too great or that other products are interfering with the connection.
Make sure that the component is at least 1 meter away from the controller during the test.
If the device is still inaccessible, please reset the device (reset to factory settings).

Smart Plug - Operations
Smart Plug - Operations
What happens to the smart plug after a power failure (information, automation)?
In the event of a power failure, your Smart plugs are switched off by default as soon as the power failure has ended.
You can switch them back on either on the device or in the app.
If you have created automations with the Smart plug as an Actuator, you will then control the Smart plug normally again.
Why can I no longer find the "Automatic switch-off" function for the Smart plug (functions, settings, automations)?
The function has been removed because you can implement it using automation.
To do this, set the following automation:
1. IF Smart plug is switched on
2. AND period 20-24 o'clock
3. after 5 minutes, switch off the Smart plug.
The switch-off function can therefore be configured in much greater detail. In addition, several automations with different switch-off conditions can be configured.
Can I plug the Bosch Smart Home plug into a multiple socket outlet (requirements)?
Operation in a multiple socket outlet is not recommended.
What do I have to consider when using the Smart plug? Are there any restrictions when operating the Smart plug (requirements, plug)?
The following restrictions must be observed when operating the Smart plug:
- Check that the scope of delivery is intact. Only install flawless parts. Only connect the Smart plug to an easily accessible mains socket with protective contacts.
- In case of danger, unplug the appliance from the mains socket.
- Do not plug Smart plugs one after the other.
- Do not use Smart plugs in multiple socket outlets or with extension cables.
- Do not connect any end devices that could cause fires or other damage if left switched on unattended (e.g. irons).
- Always unplug the end device from the Smart plug before making any changes to the end device (e.g. changing bulbs).
- Devices with electronic power supply units (e.g. televisions or high-voltage LED lamps) are not resistive loads. They can generate inrush currents of over 100A. Switching such loads leads to premature wear. As a result, the connected load may not be switched off reliably.
- Do not use Smart plugs for disconnection. The load is not electrically isolated from the mains.

The consumption view does not change even though I have plugged in or unplugged a device. What am I doing wrong (Smart plug, information)?
It may take some time for the new value to be displayed in the app. If this does not change over time, briefly unplug the Smart plug and plug it in again. The correct consumption will then be displayed.
Smart Plug - General Information
Smart Plug - General Information
Can my Bosch Smart Home plug increase the range of my other Bosch Smart Home devices (range extension)?
The Smart plug can increase the range between the Smart Home controller and the following devices:
- Light control (DE/AUT only)
- Shutter control (DE/AUT only)
- Room thermostats
- Room thermostats underfloor heating (DE/AUT only)
- Radiator thermostats
- Door/window contacts
- Smoke alarm
- Smart plug
- Universal switch (Flex)
For the range extension to work, the Smart plug should ideally be plugged in halfway between your Smart Home controller and the device with reception problems.
It is possible to connect at least two Smart plugs "in series" to increase the wireless range even further. The "Range extension" function must be activated for the corresponding Smart plugs. No further configuration is required.
In principle, this function should be activated with as few Smart plugs as possible in order to keep the signal runtimes short and not unnecessarily load the frequency band.
Important: Each additional signal-processing component connected in between increases the signal propagation time and therefore also the response time when controlling your end devices. Each active component generates additional data traffic in the frequency band.
How can I reset the Bosch Smart Home plug (plug, reset)?
To reset your Bosch Smart Home Smart plug, please proceed as follows:
1. press and hold the system button when plugging into a socket until the LED flashes orange quickly.
2. then release it and press it again until the LED on the front lights up green.
3. the device will now restart.

What is a Bosch Smart Home plug (Bosch Smart Home plug, radio-controlled socket, repeater, signal amplifier, functions, information)?
The versatile Smart plug from Bosch Smart Home gives your electrical appliances networked intelligence in a flash.
You can always keep an eye on your current energy consumption with the radio-controlled socket.
Intelligent socket instead of a simple power connection: With the Smart plug from Bosch Smart Home, you can add additional functions to almost any conventional electrical appliance.
Thanks to the programmable switch-on and switch-off function, the power supply to connected appliances is controlled automatically. In future, for example, your kitchen appliances will always start the day a few minutes before you do: when you come into the kitchen, the coffee machine is already preheated and ready for use.
Use the radio-controlled socket to adjust the start time to your needs and choose a different rhythm for the weekend - so you can sleep longer on Sunday and still enjoy your coffee as soon as you get up.
You can use the Bosch Smart plug to intelligently control various electrical appliances in your household.
The Smart plug has an on/off function directly on the device or via the app, as well as an energy measurement function.
