There is a possibility that the introduction of additional products may allow for an increase in the number of controllable controllers. Unfortunately, we cannot provide more specific information on this topic, as the given information is not sufficient to formulate a definitive answer.

When pairing an additional controller, I must be nearby (on-site) at the controller. It is also necessary to activate remote access (under More > System > Remote Access) for later use.

If your controller breaks, the MultiHome app will continue to exist. Your subscription is linked to your SingleKey ID, not to the individual controller.

This means:

• You will continue to have access to the service.

The subscription remains active. You can then add 1 or 2 controllers again. These can also be the controllers that were already used.

No, scenarios and automations are created for the respective controller and are only valid there. Scenarios and automations cannot be used across controllers.

Workaround:

Important Notes:

• Not possible with different Singlekey ID: It is not possible to use the Audio+ and Cloud+ features of the HOME+ subscription with a camera that has a different Singlekey ID. The same Singlekey ID must be used.
• Alternative option: You can additionally purchase Audio+ and Cloud+ for cameras with a different Singlekey ID to use these features.

With this information, you can ensure that you use the Audio+ and Cloud+ features correctly.

If you would like to know whether Audio+ is compatible with all camera generations and models, please note the following information:

Important notes:

Limited compatibility: Audio+ can only be used with the Bosch Smart Home Indoor Camera of the second generation. It is not compatible with other camera generations or models.

Annual subscription: Suitable for long-term use with a minimum term of one year.

Both options can be purchased and managed directly through your Apple or Google account.
