Notice
Your Bosch Security Dealer has already installed your Bosch Security System. You will not find this
device within the Device installation wizard.
Pairing Installed Devices with a Battery Powered Home Control Gateway
Sometimes controllable devices in your home are not easily moved within pairing distance of the
Gateway. For example, a light switch that is already installed on a wall in another room, or a door lock.
For these situations, the Gateway includes a battery pack (G100 only) that allows you to disconnect the
Gateway from the power cable and bring it to the installed device. This step is optional, but if you do
have pre-installed or otherwise non-movable controllable devices that you want to pair with the Gateway,
please perform the following:
1. Disconnect the Gateway’s network cable and power cable (the one that goes into the wall outlet)
and press and hold the battery button (G100 only) for 5 seconds. Doing so causes the
Gateway to power up in battery mode.

Plan your Goals
The Home Control Gateway and its components let you monitor, control, and automate many devices
around your home. You and your smartphone (or PC or tablet) communicate with these devices. Such
devices include cameras, door locks, lighting controls, and other supported devices. These devices can
work independently, or in groups that work together, like a thermostat that turns itself down when it sees
bright sunlight from a daylight sensor, and back up again when it gets dark.
Proper planning and coordination are essential when utilizing the capabilities of the gateway in
conjunction with your Bosch Security System. Understanding your current environment gives you a
clearer picture as to how you want to automate your living space, and how you might improve it through
the use of home control functionality.
Monitoring and Security Applications
One popular application is monitoring and operating electronic door locks. When your child gets home
from school and unlocks the door, the Home Control Gateway can send you a text message or an email.
You can view a still image, live or recorded video, from your computer or smartphone to be certain that
your kids are home safe and didn't bring unwelcome guests. You can view live video from inside your
home to check in on the babysitter while you are out, and so on.
In the security and monitoring examples above, you use a powered door lock, a video camera and
perhaps a motion detector. Most of these devices talk to the gateway through Z-Wave, ZigBee or Wi-Fi,
interoperable standards in wireless control. How many of these devices will you need to connect? It all
depends on what you want to accomplish.

Energy Management Applications
With the Home Control Gateway you can remotely, and automatically, create a household that runs at
maximum energy efficiency with reduced energy bills. You can create "scenes" that adjust lights and
climate to pre-determined settings that you control with one touch or that react automatically to changing
conditions. You can remotely turn appliances off or on for example, turn off the lawn sprinkler when it
starts raining or turn up the thermostat to warm the house when you’re on your way home.
For many energy management applications, there are a wide range of plug-in and wall-mounted lighting
switches that make any light remotely controllable. The Home Control Gateway is compatible with Z-
Wave, ZigBee, and Wi-Fi thermostats. There are many plug-in modules that control indoor and outdoor
appliances. And to make any device "smart", simply plug in a SmartSwitch, which not only allows you to
control whatever you plug into it, but also to monitor that device's energy consumption over time.
Wellness Assistance Applications
The Gateway helps you protect your independent elderly loved ones by keeping you connected with
them and helping to monitor and assist them. The Gateway can notify you if there is no motion in your
loved one’s home, so you can check in and get help. The Gateway can also turn on lights when motion is
detected, so there's no more fumbling for the bathroom light or dangerous stairwell lights in the middle of
the night.

Vital assistance like this provides security for both caretaker and the cared for, and is accomplished by
adding compatible motion sensors and enabled lights. You can add home controlled window shades and
daylight sensors, so it is no longer a strain for your loved ones to let light into the room.
Convenience Applications
With the Home Control Gateway and a mobile device, you can simplify your morning or evening routine.
Simply touch one button to shut down, lock up and arm your house; no more running around to turn off
every light, set the alarm and thermostat, and check that the doors are locked.
These tasks are simple with the Home Control Gateway and the many different Z-Wave, ZigBee and Wi-
Fi products and adapters on the market. You simply add one to each device, or application, that you
want to remotely monitor or control.
Before you move forward on how to “Automate your home”, where you'll learn how to control the
gateway, take a few moments to ask yourself what kinds of monitoring and control tasks you'd like to
accomplish, and what kinds of devices would help you accomplish them.
Possibilities are endless within the home control spectrum when using the Home Control Gateway!
