Fresh laundry makes you feel better in your own skin and in your own home. The right washing programme guarantees deep-cleaned, cared-for textiles. Washing machines with the Home Connect function take on responsibility for selecting the ideal programme and save on water and electricity.
How a smart washing machine with Home Connect works
Sensors in your smart washing machine detect the textile type and degree of dirtiness and set the washing programme accordingly.
With a Home Connect washing machine from Bosch or another home appliance brand, as well as getting a grip on cleanliness, you'll be able to wash your laundry flexibly whenever you want. Do you need your washing to be ready at a specific time? No problem! Simply start your intelligent washing machine using the Home Connect app at the time that suits you best.
You can also trigger special stain programmes with your smartphone or tablet. Additional control tips in the app ensure an environmentally friendly washing cycle with a consistently fresh result.
What are you waiting for? Take a look at the possibilities that a Home Connect washing machine has to offer.
Experience smart appliances without owning them
Have you ever thought about what makes Home Connect so smart? Well, there’s a brilliant way to find it out for yourself. The Demo Appliance feature on the Home Connect app allows you to discover all the smart appliance functions without you needing to own one. Simply download the app and add a demo appliance from one of the categories – let’s say a dishwasher – and experience the Home Connect functions first-hand.
Get your washing done precisely when you want it
With the Bosch washing machine with Home Connect, you can do your washing on the side at the ideal time for you – even while out and about via the Home Connect app. You'll receive a notification once the programme has finished.
The new generation of WiFi-enabled Bosch washing machines can also be networked with a Bosch dryer so that the washer and dryer programmes can be perfectly tailored to each other. This means that you save on both time and energy.
Find your ideal washing programme
Washing can be really easy if you depend on the EasyStart assistant. It always finds the ideal washing programme for your items of clothing. You simply enter the colour, material, and dirtiness of your clothes using the Home Connect app and the app chooses the perfect washing programme. You start your smart Bosch washing machine in the usual way via the app. You can then use the app to keep an eye on the washing process.
Even stains on collars are not safe
Your Smart Home washing machine will also send stubborn stains packing. The Home Connect app offers 16 additional settings for effortlessly removing stains from your textiles.
It doesn't matter if your children come home with their shirts and trousers smeared with chocolate or grass stains: The stains programme will select a cleaning cycle that's perfect for the stain in question.
Tips for added efficiency and cleanliness
Save on water and energy: If you have an EEBUS-based energy management system, your smart washing machine will start up automatically when electricity is at its cheapest or when your solar system starts to generate electricity.
With an i-DOS washing machine, you contribute further to protecting resources: It determines how much detergent and fabric softener is required to get a perfectly clean result.
In addition, the Home Connect app tells you when your washing powder's running low.

Frequently asked questions
What can a smart washing machine do?
All smart washing machines are designed to save energy and protect your washing. Your EasyStart assistant automatically selects the most efficient programme for your needs and the ActiveWater Plus feature reduces the consumption of electricity and water. Intelligent sensors in the washing machine ensure that only the water that is actually needed is used – based on the textile type and fill level of the machine. Appliances with the intelligent dosing system i-Dos also save on washing detergent. You fill the detergent compartment and when the washing cycle starts, the machine doses just the right amount for the fill level, textile type, and degree of dirtiness.
Once your smart washing machine is connected to the Home Connect app, you can start it and monitor the washing cycle even when out and about.
Can I retrofit my own washing machine?
Retrofitting is possible but not recommended. A solution installed later on is relatively expensive and often does not include the same features as a solution that is integrated from the start. Home appliances with Home Connect are tailored to each other and connected via the app. You must therefore check carefully before exchanging or adding electronics.
What technology is necessary to use the Home Connect app?
Home Connect only works with a smart washing machine that is designed for this functionality. In the Smart Home Appliances area, you can find out which home appliance types work with Home Connect. The Home Connect app can be used on smartphones and tablets and requires a WiFi connection. You can control your home appliances using multiple smart devices.
