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.
With smart appliances, making a meal is no big deal.
With your smart induction hob and hood, having to multitask isn’t a big ask. Once paired with the Bosch Home Connect app on your smartphone, your connected appliances’ clever features will do a lot of the work for you – starting with a whole library of inspiring recipes to explore. Once you choose one, you can send the settings directly to your smart cooktop, which uses built-in sensors to monitor and maintain an even temperature while minimising energy consumption. All you have to do is focus on getting the seasoning juuuuuust right.
Home free and hands-free on every recipe.
Sticky fingers and a sticky situation? Go hands free and operate your smart cooker hood and hob and with voice control. When Google Home or Amazon Alexa is connected to the Bosch Home Connect app, your voice assistant can switch between bright illumination for cooking and coloured mood lights when you’re eating. Ask it to set a timer or turn up the fan level on your hood to keep the air clear. And, of course, adjusting the heat on any of the Bosch Home Connect hobs’ zones is just as easy.
Do yourself a favour. With favourites.
Together with the Bosch Home Connect app, your smart induction cooktop and hood let you follow your heart. If you, your guests or your family can’t get enough of a dish, tag the recipe with a heart and you’ll be able to easily find it again under Favourites in the Bosch Home Connect app.
Freshen up with a team up.
Imagine your wifi cooker hood and hob worked together as a single appliance. Now they can. Use their wifi connectivity to link them in the app and they’ll be perfectly in sync. That means that when you power up any cooking area on your smart induction hob, your smart hood ventilation automatically activates. Thanks to the air quality sensor, it’ll switch itself off again when you’re done cooking your food. Changing your settings in the hood app is just as quick and easy as banishing smells. Fan level, recirculation mode and run time are at your fingertips. Isn’t that a breath of fresh air?
Maintenance made easy.
The Bosch Home Connect app makes it easy to ensure your smart cooker hood has a clean bill of health. You’ll receive a smartphone notification in good time before you need to wash, replace or regenerate your grease and odour filters. And thanks to the easy-to-follow instructions, you’ll be done before you know it. That way, you can rest assured your hood and all cooking smells are taken care of.

Why isn't my Home Connect appliance showing up during pairing?

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.

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.
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.
The Home Connect app still isn't working, what can I do?
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.
My Home Connect appliance still won't pair, what can I do?
