In order for your Bosch Smart Home Door/window contact II plus to detect vibrations, place the sensor unit on the window sash or door leaf (in the upper area in each case). The magnet is positioned on the frame. The distance between the magnet unit and the sensor unit must not exceed 15mm.

Important for positioning the magnet unit:

1. Ensure that the bottom edges of the sensor unit and magnet unit as well as the gaps of the units form a line. If no line is formed, the magnet unit must be rotated 180°. (Bottom edge of sensor unit = side on which the control button is located)

2. The top sides of the sensor and magnet unit must be on the same level. Therefore, use the supplied spacer elements for the magnet for height adjustment if necessary.

Note: Correct alignment is crucial for reliable operation.

In the alarm system:
After pairing the Bosch Smart Home Door/Window Contact II Plus, vibration detection is automatically activated in the alarm system in all alarm profiles. If this is not desired, the setting can be individually adjusted in the alarm profile. Please note: If vibration detection is permanently deactivated in the device settings, then vibration detection is also not available as a trigger in the alarm system.

In automations:
Vibration detection can serve as a trigger for individually created automations.

Whether a vibration has been detected can be found out via the favorites screen in the Bosch Smart Home App.

• If the icon for vibration detection is grayed out, detection is activated but no vibration has been detected.
• If the icon is white and "active", a vibration has been detected.
• If no vibration is detected for 30 seconds, the icon will be grayed out again. If the icon is grayed out and crossed out, vibration detection is permanently deactivated.

The Bosch Smart Home Door/window contact II plus not only reliably detects open doors and windows and displays their status in the Smart Home app, but also responds to slight vibrations thanks to its vibration sensor.

This allows it to be used as aPart of the alarm systemto trigger an alarm even during break-in attempts when vibrations are detected at the window. It also warns of potential security gaps caused by forgotten windows/doors when activating the alarm system. In addition, the status of the Door/window contact II can be used as aTrigger for actions.

The button of the Door/window contact II plus is multifunctional:

• Short and long button presses can be individually assigned via the app as triggers for actions or scenarios.
• The pause function can be used with a double-click. This allows the window/door to be opened once without triggering an alarm or turning down the heating – practical, for example, to let the cat out briefly despite the alarm system being activated or to ventilate at night.

Of course, the smart sensor can also be used for energy and cost efficiency: In the "Sustainable ventilation" service, radiator thermostats in the room are automatically throttled when windows are open.

Integration with Apple HomeKit, Amazon and Google Home also enables combination with many compatible devices from other manufacturers.

The Bosch Smart Home Door/window contact II can be used multifunctionally:

• In addition, the status of the Door/window contact II can be used as a trigger for actions.

The button of the Door/window contact II is also multifunctional:

• Short and long button presses can be individually assigned via app as triggers for actions or scenarios.
• The pause function can be used by double-clicking. This allows the window/door to be opened once without triggering an alarm or reducing the heating – practical, for example, to let the cat out briefly despite the alarm system being activated or to ventilate at night.

While the Bosch Smart Home Door/window contact II detects open and closed doors and windows using a small magnet that can be discreetly mounted, the Bosch Smart Home Door/window contact II plus detects not only open and closed doors and windows but also - thanks to an additional vibration sensor - vibrations. This makes the Door/window contact II plus particularly suitable for windows and doors that are predestined for burglary (e.g. balcony or patio doors).

If outdoor use is desired for the alarm system, the use of the Door/window contact II plus is recommended. If vibration detection is activated in the alarm system, it immediately triggers an alarm in case of unauthorized opening or removal.

The Bosch Smart Home Door/window contact II and the Bosch Smart Home Door/window contact II plus are each available inwhite andanthracite available.

Double-click:A double press activates the pause function.

By double-clicking the control button on the Bosch Smart Home Door/window contact II or on the Bosch Smart Home Door/window contact II Plus, you activate the so-called pause function.

This causes the device status to be temporarily ignored by the Bosch Smart Home system. This allows you to open and close the window or door once without triggering an alarm when the alarm system is activated, turning down the heating, or starting an automation.
The function is particularly helpful when the alarm system is activated, for example to quickly let the dog or cat out or to tilt the window at night for fresh air.

You also have the option to set an automatic time limit. After the time limit expires, the pause ends automatically. You can set the time limit in the device settings of the corresponding device in the Bosch Smart Home app. If no automatic time limit is set/activated, the pause continues until you open and close the window once again. Please note that when the pause function with time limit is activated, the LED on the device flashes orange continuously as long as the pause is active. If no automatic time limit is set, the LED only flashes orange 3 times after the pause has been activated.
