Security:
Your data security is our number one priority. The Home Connect app has been tested by TÜVTrustIT and the system meets the highest security standards. The transmission of appliance-specific data and personal data is of course encrypted.

Access to the Home Connect app and control of your household appliances is only possible through your personal account, which is protected by your password. Accordingly, you should not share your user data with anyone and you should always keep your password safe; our employees will never ask you for your password.

Demo mode:
The Home Connect app also includes a demo mode in which you can try out applications before you decide to purchase a home appliance with Home Connect functionality. For example, you can take a peek inside a fridge, use the easy start assistant to find the perfect washing programme or try out how the dishwasher programs are set. In addition, there is a selection of recipes available, as well as cooking tips and tricks.

Operating requirements:
At the present time, you can use the Home Connect app to control household appliances from our partner brands Bosch and Siemens. In order to use Home Connect, you first need to download the app and register for Home Connect with your name and email address. Then all you need is an appliance with Home Connect functionality, a mobile device (tablet and/or smartphone) and a Wi-Fi router with Internet access. Appliances with Home Connect functionality can only be registered on secure, encrypted Wi-Fi networks (WPA or WPA2 encryption). In contrast to other solutions, Home Connect does not require additional expensive equipment and is ready to go straight from the box.
