Software update information

Bosch Smart Home system

19 March 2024

IMPROVEMENTS

  • Room temperature display
    • In the room temperature setting, the system now automatically displays the time at which it will switch to the next scheduled target temperature. It also displays how long boost mode will remain active once started.

  • Change of ZigBee radio channel
    • The radio channel of the ZigBee network can now be changed in the system settings. This can be helpful if the connection to ZigBee devices is unstable on the current channel due to radio interference.

  • Android app
    • The app startup process has been shortened. Scrolling in your favourites is now faster while data is being loaded.

    • In the automations, an incorrect formulation was used when setting an action with a relay. This issue has been resolved.

  • iOS app
    • The loading time of the favourites screen has been improved.
    • A problem could occur if previously deleted cameras were subsequently to be removed from scenarios. This issue has been resolved.

    • In the event of a failed coupling process, a message is now displayed if the radiator thermostat II is not found.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  • Android app - system requirements
    • As of this release, Android 8 is required for the Bosch Smart Home app. You will, however, be able to continue using the app that has already been installed (except for activating the Smart Home Cloud).

  • Bosch Smart Home Cloud - announcement
    • With the release (10.21) scheduled for May 2024, technical modifications will take place in the backend of the Smart Home Cloud. If you use partners via the Bosch Smart Home Cloud (Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Mercedes MBUX), you must update to this release (10.21). We anticipate that from the end of June, it will no longer be possible to use the Smart Home Cloud for the Bosch Smart Home controller and Bosch Smart Home controller II with a software version lower than 10.21.

  • General
    • Update of various open source libraries.
    • Some functions and certain improvements and bug fixes will only be available after you have installed the controller update and app update.
