Our universal switches come with a 4-fold assignable push button (standard on the market is a 2-fold push button). This allows a comfortable operation of the Smart Home, as an alternative to the Smartphone for everyone, even house residents without a Smartphone (children / elderly people). Own scenarios (e.g. Coming Home / Leaving Home) can be assigned to the buttons. All Bosch Smart Home products are integrated into the Scenario Manager and are therefore accessible via the universal switches. Scenarios can be preconfigured or individually created and assigned to the switch. The switching of services or an individual product can also be assigned directly to the universal switch. For example, the alarm system or the alarm service can be activated / deactivated or the light can be switched on / off (Philips Hue).

To reset the Universal Switch or the Universal Switch Flex to the factory settings, please proceed as follows: 1. Remove the batteries. 2. While inserting the batteries, press and hold the button in the middle of the switch until the LED of the universal switch flashes quickly in orange. 3. Release briefly and press the button again until the LED lights up green. You can then connect the device as usual. Please also see our reset video for our Universal Switch Flex in this article.

The universal switch can be attached to walls using adhesive surfaces or screws. The Flex universal switch can be used flexibly and mobile at home, as no assembly is required.
