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.
There’s more in store with a wifi fridge.
What is a smart fridge? For starters, it can be big or small. A 215-litre, slim smart fridge is just as clever as a large-capacity American-style fridge freezer. That’s because all our wifi fridges get their IQ boost from the Bosch Home Connect app.
So what does a smart fridge do? It lets you control the temperature even while on the go, prevent food waste, save energy and even plan your shopping.
Don’t ignore an open door.
When it comes to your electricity bill and preserving your groceries, it’s all a matter of degrees. If your door is left open and the wifi fridge thermometer inside your smart fridge detects a rise in temperature, you’re not just wasting precious energy but your food could spoil, too. Your connected fridge freezer will send a push notification, so you can take action.
Your smart fridge interface from any place.
With the Bosch Home Connect app, you can adjust the temperature on your wifi fridge freezer from anywhere. For instance, set SuperCool and SuperFreeze on the way home from a big shop. That way, you can add lots of new purchases to a freezer basket or fridge shelf without creating temperature fluctuations in the compartments.
Meal planning you’ll eat up.
One of the advantages of a smart fridge is that the Bosch Home Connect app can help you organise your shopping according to the principle of waste not, want not. Simply register products’ shelf lives in the inventory list and your smart fridge freezer will not only remind you to drink that milk before the expiry date but also to buy more when it’s finished. Together with other smart fridge features, inventory list can suggest recipes to use up leftover ingredients stored in your Bosch wifi fridge.
More chilling, less billing.
When you’re taking it easy, why shouldn’t your smart fridge do the same? Even if you’re already at the airport or relaxing at the beach, you can still set your wifi-enabled fridge to Holiday mode. Because the door won’t be opened while you’re away, the inside temperature can be increased slightly to save electricity without affecting storage conditions. And taking time off isn’t the only way you can keep your fridge efficient. Activating Eco mode will keep consumption down without compromising on cooling.

Why won't the Home Connect app connect to my Wi-Fi?
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.
Why does the Home Connect pairing process keep failing after it connects to my Wi-Fi?
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.
Why isn't my Wi-Fi network showing up in the Home Connect app?
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.
