Safety instructions
▶ Read this user manual completely before installing
or commissioning the device and pay particular
attention to the hazard information.
▶ Fire hazard due to electrical current!
There is a risk of fire when the electrical connection
is not used properly. Only use the product with the
specified, approved power supply unit.
▶ The device may only be connected to an easily
accessible power socket. The plug must be removed
in the event of a hazard.
▶ Do not open up the device. It does not contain any
parts to be maintained by the user. If a fault occurs,
have the device checked by a specialist.
▶ Do not use the device if it has damage which is
visible from the outside, for example, to the housing,
control elements or connection sockets, or if it has a
malfunction. If in doubt, please contact our service
team.
▶ For safety and approval reasons (CE/UKCA), the
device may not be modified and/or no changes may
be made to the device without authorisation.
▶ The device is not a toy! Do not allow children to play
with it. Never leave the packaging material lying
around unattended. Plastic film and small parts may
pose a danger to children.
▶ This device may be used by children from 8 years of
age and by persons with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capacities, or a lack of experience and
knowledge provided these persons are supervised
or have been instructed in the safe use of the device,
and understand the corresponding risks.
▶ When remotely or automatically controlling a
device, it is not always possible to guarantee that
commands are actually executed or that the correct
device status is displayed in the app and on other
Smart Home display devices because of external
circumstances. This may lead to material damage

and/or personal injury. Therefore, you must ensure
to the greatest extent possible that no person is
endangered at the time of remote operation or
automated control. Please take special care when
setting up or adjusting the remote control or when
using the automated control and check the desired
functionality at regular intervals.

personal injury which is caused by improper use or
failure to observe the safety instructions. In these
cases, any guarantee claim becomes void! We

sources of heat, extreme cold temperatures and
mechanical stress.
▶ Only use the device together with original
components and recommended products from
Bosch partners.
Notes
▶ The range within buildings can differ significantly
from the range in open spaces. In addition to the
transmitting power and the receiving properties
of the receiver, environmental factors such as
humidity, as well as the local structural situation,
play an important role.
▶ The device is only suitable for use in residential
environments.
▶ The device is only intended for private use.

Mounting instructions
The standards and directives applicable in your
country must be observed during planning, set-up,
operation and maintenance.
The controller can be used in a horizontal position
or mounted on the wall.
When selecting the mounting location and when
drilling, pay attention to the areas where electrical
wires run, or to any supply cables.
Please also note any additional information on the
product.
Always lay the cables of connected devices in such
a way that they cannot pose a hazard to people or
pets.
For electronic devices (Smart Home hubs, routers,
power supply units, etc.), radio interference may
occur under some circumstances if the distance
between the devices is less than one metre. If this
occurs, please select a larger distance between the
devices.
Screws and plugs are not included in the box
contents. Fillister head screws or cylinder head
screws with a head diameter of max. 8 mm and a
head height of max. 4 mm are recommended.
Start-up
Insert the network cable into the controller network
connection (9) and a free LAN port on your Wi-Fi
router. Now insert the cable for the power supply unit
supplied into the controller supply connection (10).
Then plug the power supply unit into a free socket. The
status LEDs (2, 3, 4) show the status of initialisation
after starting through flashing codes (see product
overview).
When you connect the controller to the internet
for the first time, it automatically searches for
software updates. If an update is required, it is
automatically downloaded and installed by the
controller. This process can take more than 30
minutes. The controller cannot be started during
this time. Please do not disconnect the controller
from the power for the duration of the process.
The Smart Home controller II requires Ipv4 in
the local network This is usually the standard
configuration for your router.
Download the “Bosch Smart Home” app from your app
store. You will need this for installation, configuration
and operation.
