Terrible software

Extremely disappointed that I need to rely on this junk app to use basic features like delay start. Difficult and finicky to use. Just give me my buttons back…

Too many ads!!

Ok, I understand that it’s a source of revenue, but I don’t need the ads for supplies and their partnerships. I just want to use my appliances please.

I’ve tried everything, it won’t pair

Tried resetting the whole thing, unplugging and plugging back in, holding it down before hitting “add appliance” holding it down AFTER hitting add appliance… heeelllloooooo

Careless Interface with SmartThings

Der Entwickler der App hat meine frühere Rezension gelesen. Er entschuldigte sich für die Unannehmlichkeiten und riet mir, den Bosch-Support zu kontaktieren. Das tat ich, doch dort konnte man mir nicht weiterhelfen. Die Mitarbeiterin von Bosch wusste weder etwas über SmartThings noch über die Existenz einer Home-Connect-Schnittstelle. Sie verwies mich an Samsung SmartThings, während man mir dort wiederum riet, sich an den Bosch-Support zu wenden. Es war eine Sackgasse. Unternehmensgründer Robert Bosch schuf ein Unternehmen, das höchste mechanische Qualität erreichte. Lässt sich das Gleiche auch über Home Connect sagen?
Zu den zahlreichen Mängeln gehören:
1) Wichtige Steuerungsoptionen fehlen (Crystal Dry / Pure Dry, Sanitize und Half Load lassen sich nicht aktivieren).
2) Die SmartThings-Bezeichnungen der verschiedenen Programme stimmen nicht mit denen auf dem Bedienfeld des Geräts überein (Intensiv 70° und Glas 40° werden weder auf meinem Geschirrspüler noch in der HomeConnect-App als Programmnamen angezeigt).
3) Die Anzeige lässt sich nicht von Celsius auf Fahrenheit umstellen (vielleicht eine Kleinigkeit, aber dennoch ein Fehler).
Ich möchte nicht für jedes einzelne Haushaltsgerät eine separate App verwenden müssen. Die meisten meiner Haushaltsgeräte sind von Samsung oder SmartThings-kompatibel. Bosch hat hier leider versagt.

Auf Englisch: The app's developer read my previous review. They apologized for the inconvenience and advised me to contact Bosch support. I did so, but they were unable to help. The Bosch representative knew nothing about SmartThings or the existence of a Home Connect interface. She referred me to Samsung SmartThings, while they, in turn, advised me to contact Bosch support. It was a dead end. Company founder Robert Bosch created a business that achieved the highest level of mechanical quality. Can the same be said for Home Connect?
The numerous shortcomings include:
1) Control options are not supported (cannot activate Crystal Dry / Pure Dry, Sanitize, or Half Load)
2) The SmartThings names for the different run cycles do not match the names on the device control panel (Intensive 70º and Glass 40º are not labels on my dishwasher or in the HomeConnect app).
3) No way to change Celsius to Fahrenheit (minor, but also careless).
I do not want a different app for each and every appliance in my home. Most of my appliances in my home are Samsung or SmartThings compatible. Bosch has sadly missed the mark.

Useless app

One of the main reasons why you need this app is to set delayed start. It should have been button on the dishwasher in the first place nobody should have to load the dishes and then find their phone to turn it on.

Keeping the design problem aside jumping into the pairing problem. I recently the dishwasher complained about firmware update after firmware update the dishwasher wouldn’t connect. App would always show as disconnected, it wouldn’t pair up. I tried ac power off and on, reset but none of that would solve the problem.


Long story short, you need this app to set delayed start, unless this app shows some mercy it wouldn’t connect and I can’t program delayed start.
