    This FAQ should answer any questions you might have about Home Connect Plus and our Community and give you a good overview. It should then be a bit easier to find your bearings here. If you think that we've forgotten something important, please let us know

    What is Home Connect Plus?
    Reveal
    Home Connect Plus is a free app that allows you to control your smart home centrally and intuitively. The app interlinks and automates a wide range of smart home devices and systems from different manufacturers – from thermostats, vacuum cleaners and speakers to shutters, lights and door locks. This means that you can control all of the devices centrally in just one app on your phone or tablet.

    By making it easier to control different devices, Home Connect Plus ensures that linked devices interact perfectly so that your smart home can reach its full potential. Moreover, with functions like automations and boards, you can customise your everyday life and make it even smarter.

    We currently support a range of smart home devices from over 40 leading manufacturers, including Philips Hue, Bosch, Bose, HomematicIP and many more. We are continuously expanding our partner network so that we can continue to offer you the greatest possible value.

    In order to keep the app simple and intuitive to use, Home Connect Plus concentrates on the key functions and automatic sequences that will be most beneficial in your day-to-day routine.
    As a result, some less frequently used special functions or settings options will remain available only in the manufacturer-specific apps offered by our partners.

    How does Home Connect Plus deal with data protection and information security?
    Reveal
    Data protection and information security are two of the underlying principles of Home Connect Plus.

All data is encrypted for transmission and no comprehensive user profiles are created. We only store data that is required to provide a service.
