The controller connects devices and systems from various manufacturers with various interfaces and wireless protocols. As a result, you can easily link in partner products (e.g. voice assistants).

Review: Best Control Hub? Maybe. - Being the kind of nerdy bloke who loves faffing around with electronics, home automation and engineering it's inevitable that you'll look at something like this. There are of course many ways to achieve home automation - which really just boils down to turning lights on and off really. There are the internet based ones such as She Who Cannot Be Named which rely on using the internet to control your device and there are hub based ones that allow internet access for control but have local control. I've used a few versions and loads of Chinese cheapo stuff thanks to getting them to review. And over time I've come to feel that this isn't ideal. I wanted a system that is home centred and not internet based and thus I arrived here at Bosch. What attracted me came down to two things. It's Bosch not a no name Chinese or other Far Eastern company that was probably harvesting as much information as possible. Secondly the Bosch system is based on local control. You do not need to be connected to the internet for this to work once set up and that means your data is yours, stored at home. It means that if your internet drops out for a second or two when an automation is due to start it will still work. Happy days. The build quality is very good as you would hope and the setup is easy peasy. Range is likely to be fine for a up to a medium sized estate house but not if you have a bigger house with solid walls. However, this isn't too much of a problem because the more Bosch devices you add the better the range because they daisy chain the data stream. In other words if you have a plug in range of the hub but another plug further away the first plug will communicate with the last out of range plug to pass on the hub data. Basically the more things you add the better the overall data coverage. The app is excellent. It's excellent because it's simple. The downside is that if you are the kind of person that wants a gazillion options (most of which never get used) then the app might be limited. However, if you want simplicity, robustness and an easy to set up routine, I've never seen anything easier. Top marks from me for sure. Overall, I'll be changing over everything to Bosch over time - at least as much as I can. Which is the negative in that the range of auxiliary devices is limited compared to some manufacturers. However, the security of not using Chinesium systems and locally stored data is a winner for me.
Review: It's reliable! - You need the Bosch Smart Home Controller to be able to install any Bosch smart home device. The setup itself is very easy - you download the Bosch smart home app, plugin the controller into mains and into your home router, scan its code through the app, and that's it! The smart home controller requires a bit of patience to set up because it updated during the setup process - I hope Bosch try to fix that time soon (this can really take half an hour!) But once set-up, this device has rock-solid reliability. I could easily add three smart Thermostats to it and they are all working as expected. The app is very reliable and so is the communication between the app and the controller (and the controller and the thermostats). The UI of the app is also user-friendly and rich. Overall this justifies the "smart" in its name.

*by F***N on 28 December 2023*

This is a review for the Controller II - I didn't own the first version but I believe these reviews represent a mix of both versions. I couldn't be more impressed with the Bosch Smart Home devices and this new controller. It's all so simple and just works - automatic updates including firmware updates for linked devices (I have a smart plug compact, motion detector and door contact II). The app is also very good. All well thought out and intuitive. Recommended.
