Core offering

Bosch Smart Home designs, manufactures and sells a consumer smart home ecosystem anchored by the Smart Home Controller II hub, enabling residential users to monitor and control security (cameras, motion/door-window sensors, smoke detectors, water sensors, outdoor sirens), climate (radiator and room thermostats, underfloor heating), lighting, and shutters through a single iOS/Android app. Revenue is generated through hardware device sales and three recurring subscription tiers (Home+ for multi-system/Matter control, Cloud+ for video storage, Audio+ for camera noise detection), distributed across 18 European countries via the company's own e-commerce sites and retail partners.

Product overview

Bosch Smart Home offers a comprehensive smart home ecosystem built around the Smart Home Controller II / Smart Home Controller as the central hub, managed via the Bosch Smart Home App (iOS/Android) and Bosch Smart Camera App. The portfolio encompasses climate control (Radiator Thermostats, Room Thermostats, Underfloor Heating Thermostats), security (Smoke Detectors, Door/Window Contacts, Motion Detectors, Outdoor Siren, Water Sensors, Eyes Indoor/Outdoor Cameras), lighting and shading (Light Control, Dimmer, Shutter Control), and smart plugs/relays. The system supports Matter standard and integrates with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, Philips Hue, LEDVANCE, BMW, Home Connect, and Yale.
