The Universal switches from Bosch Smart Home expand the possibilities for controlling your Smart Home system. At the touch of a button, you can trigger scenarios and operate selected devices - as an uncomplicated alternative to smartphone control.

The unobtrusive switches can be assigned up to four different, freely selectable functions and operated by all residents and guests in your smart home, without the need for a smartphone or tablet. This simplifies recurring processes. Install the Universal switch next to the door, for example, and trigger the "Leave home" scenario with a quick click. Or opt for the portable Universal switch Flex if you move around the house a lot. You can take it with you from room to room and, for example, lower your roller shutters to a pre-set height from any room.

Our Universal switches come with a 4-way assignable push-button (the standard on the market is a 2-way push-button). This enables convenient operation of the smart home as an alternative to the smartphone for everyone, including residents without a smartphone (children/elderly people).

Custom scenarios (e.g. Coming Home / Leaving Home) can be assigned to the buttons. All Bosch Smart Home products are integrated into the Scenario Manager and can therefore be accessed via the Universal switches. Scenarios can be preconfigured or individually created and assigned to the switch.

The switching of services or a single product can also be assigned directly to the Universal switch. For example, the alarm system or alarm service can be activated/deactivated or the light can be switched on/off (Philips Hue).
