Door/Window Contact help

Installation on a casement is possible in principle. During installation, care must be taken to ensure that the contacts are close enough together. This can be checked by holding the contacts in the desired position until the LED briefly lights up yellow (batteries must be inserted).

The Bosch Smart Home door/window contact can be installed in a few simple steps. All you need is the Bosch Smart Home App and the accessories included in the package. After starting the Bosch Smart Home App, it will guide you through the individual installation steps. Please also see our installation video in this article. If you have problems viewing the video, you can also find our installation and reset videos on our Bosch Smart Home Youtube Channel at the following link. Please also refer to the operation / installation manual under the following link.

You can check this in the menu item "Devices". If necessary, remove the device from the device list manually. 2. Please check whether the batteries are inserted correctly.

Briefly release and press the button again until the LED lights up green. Then follow the instructions for connecting again. 4. If necessary, briefly disconnect the Smart Home Controller from the power supply and try again.

Secure your home and save energy easily. The wirelessly controlled Door/Window Contact detects open doors and windows and notifies you immediately via the Bosch Smart Home App and your Smart Home System. Sometimes we just want some fresh air. With Bosch Smart Home indoor climate solutions, you don't have to worry about remembering to turn down the heating as your Door/Window Contacts automatically communicate with the Smart Home Controller when a door or window is open and it will automatically turn the heating off. This allows you to enjoy the fresh air, without wasting energy and without having to lift a finger.The Bosch door/window contact detects the opening and closing of windows and doors. It can be used both for radiator control and as part of your alarm system. Likewise, our Bosch Smart Home door/window contact can be part of your security system, detecting and - in combination with our light and alarm components - chasing away uninvited guests. You can find more about the Bosch Smart Home door/window contact on the product page in our Bosch Smart Home Webshop.

You will receive a notification if a window is open. You can activate this option under More > System > Notifications > Open doors and windows. In addition, you can define individual notifications via the use of automations. For example, if a window is open for a longer period of time, you can use an automation to define that an action is performed (e.g. sending a message to your end device or visual notification by a smart lamp, etc.).

Yes. To avoid security gaps, the alarm system actively checks the status of all integrated devices that serve as triggers for intrusion detection in the currently activated alarm profile (door-window contacts and motion detectors) when armed. If a window is still open, you will be alerted via push notification on your smartphone. To receive the warning, push notifications must be enabled for your alarm system. To do this, go to "More" > "System" > "Notifications" and turn on both "Receive notifications" and "Alarm system enabled / disabled".

You can define individual notifications via the use of automations. For example, if a window is open for a longer period of time, an automation can be used to define that an action is performed (e.g. sending a message to your end device or visual notification by a smart lamp, etc.).

Wait a few seconds after opening the door/window contact. If no change is still visible, this may have various causes: 1. Check whether the door/window contact indicates opening and closing by the built-in LED. If not, please check the batteries. Check whether the correct door/window contact is visible on your home screen (Favourites). 2. The components of the door/window contact may be a maximum of 8 mm apart and must be mounted at the same height (lower edge). Please check the correct alignment. 3. Please check whether two or three LEDs on your Smart Home Controller are lit continuously, depending on whether you have activated remote access. 4. It is possible that a door/window contact in the service "ventilation detection" (menu item "Services") has been deactivated and is therefore not taken into account. Please check this setting. If you still have questions or problems with the integration, accessibility or use of the device, please contact our customer support.

Please check whether the LED of the door / window contact is still flashing during opening and closing. If this is the case, it is possible that the distance between the Smart Home Controller and the device is too great, or that other products are interfering with the connection. Also make sure that the component is at least 1m away from the controller during the test. If you still have questions or problems with the integration, accessibility or use of the device, please contact our customer support.
