Dinner, done!
With Home Connect, you can control your home appliances your way. From monitoring the progress of your dishwasher, to pre-heating the oven while you're still at the shops, you can even turn your voice assistant into your own personal barista, just say the words "Alexa, tell my coffee machine to make my favourite coffee", and let your Bosch coffee machine do the rest. Order up!
The connected ecosystem.
Whether you want to integrate voice assistants into your cooking routine, or be smart when it comes to energy management, Home Connect’s growing ecosystem of connected services puts freedom and control in the palm of your hands.
Promote your smart dishwasher to dish manager.
What is a wifi-enabled dishwasher? It’s a connected appliance that doesn’t just wash dirty dishes, it knows dishes. Whether you choose a freestanding or integrated model, full-size or slimline dishwasher, when you pair it with the Bosch Home Connect app, it can advise on the best programme for your load, energy-efficient cycles and even remind you to buy more tablets.
And since we believe that the best dishwasher is one that keeps getting better, you can rate the results of each wash cycle in the app. Your smart dishwasher will learn from its mistakes.
Programmes? Not a problem.
Meet the ultimate programme pro – Programme Assistant in the Bosch Home Connect app. Tell it how big your load is, what it’s comprised of as well as if there are any food stains. Your appliance will recommend whether an intensive cleaning or an eco cycle is best. You can then track the time remaining until your smart dishwasher completes its load in the app. And because your dishwasher wifi links your machine to other connected devices in your home, like voice assistants, you can go totally hands free and ask Alexa or Hey Google for an update on the dishes while cooking.
Bosch smart dishwashers go with the flow.
When you’ve got a lot on your plate, it’s easy to forget about cleaning crockery. Your Bosch dishwasher with wifi fits in with your household habits. Had a hectic morning and forgot to set your machine? Simply use the app to start your smart dishwasher remotely when you get to work. It’ll switch off automatically at the end of the wash cycle. And what about when dinner is almost ready but the dishes aren’t? Get the job done in a third of the time with our VarioSpeed fast wash. You can even shush your Bosch Home Connect dishwasher when on an important call by activating Silence on Demand.
If you can measure it, you can manage it.
Bosch smart dishwashers are also the clever choice when it comes to water and energy consumption. Thanks to our innovative technologies, our appliances’ water consumption is ten times less than hand washing 1 . And our most efficient programme, Eco 50°C, is twice as energy efficient as Auto mode 2 because it washes at a lower water temperature. That means less electricity is used for heating but your dirty dishes still come out spotless.
Smart features add an extra layer of control over the cleaning process. The Bosch Home Connect app estimates electricity and water consumption for every wash cycle so you can prioritise choosing an efficient programme. And if you activate Smart Start, your machine will automatically delay the run time to benefit from renewable energy or off-peak tariffs.

Home Connect FAQs.
Download the Home Connect app and register an account.
The app is free of charge and can be downloaded from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store .
You can connect your appliance with Home Connect to your Wi-Fi by scanning the provided QR code. You'll find it on the enclosed Quick Start Guide. If you don't have this document, just press ‘I don’t have a printed guide’, and enter your E-number. Or use the Connection Guide on the Home Connect website to find the QR code for your appliance.
Ensure your mobile device is on the same Wi-Fi network that you are connecting your Home Connect appliance to. In the case of a hood and hob make sure they are both paired to your Home Connect account. If your router has a separated dual band network, ensure the names for the two networks are different. If you use Wi-Fi extenders make sure the extender has a different name to the router and that you are pairing to the extender.
If incorrect credentials are sent to your Home Connect appliance by the Home Connect app it won't be able to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Try forgetting the network on your device and re-connecting to make sure you have the correct password.
If you do not have access to your instructions you can find them online here .
Alternatively, if you know the E-Number of your appliance, you can press the ‘I don’t have a printed guide’ button during the pairing process, and enter the E-Number for instructions inside the App.
Ensure you follow the Home Connect installation guide that came with your appliance. Each appliance requires different steps. These steps can also be found in the Home Connect app whilst pairing.
Some devices will search for a connection that has Internet; during the paring process your device will connect with the appliance‘s Wi-Fi network to transfer credentials. Since the appliance does not have an internet connection the mobile device will switch to another network that does, interrupting the pairing process. To prevent this from happening turn on Airplane/Flight mode, then go to your Wi-Fi settings and turn Wi-Fi back on, make sure you are connected to your router Wi-Fi network.
Check whether you can get online with another device in your home. Make sure you are not using mobile data to test your Internet connection. Ensure there is a strong network connection where the appliance is installed.
Unplug your routers (and range extenders/Wi-Fi repeaters) ensuring all lights are off. Keep unplugged for 30 seconds and then plug your routers back in. Wait until the router completely restarts and check the connection with another mobile device. Check your router‘s user manual for more information.
Uninstall the Home Connect app, then download and re-install the latest version of the Home Connect app. After doing so, restart your mobile device and begin the pairing process again.
You should factory reset your Home Connect appliance. In your use and care manual you will find instructions for resetting your appliance.
The Home Connect system works with all standard Wi-Fi routers available on the market provided they are no more than five years old (estimated). For security reasons, Wi-Fi networks must be encrypted (WPA or WPA2 encryption). If your Wi-Fi network is not encrypted, you will not be able to register your appliance.
You can find detailed descriptions and troubleshooting instructions on the Home Connect website. See all error codes.
To make sure your precious data is safe, Home Connect only works with encrypted Wi-Fi networks. This way, using Home Connect is as safe as possible for the user. This also includes regular system checks to guard against professional hackers.
The Home Connect app is available for iOS and Android.
