Conveniently take control of your ventilation hood with your smartphone, Smartwatch*, tablet or your voice**. Adjust fan level, lighting or the shut-off delay, you have everything under control.

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.
In your smart kitchen, the hob and the extractor hood communicate with each other during the cooking process via a WiFi module. If you activate at least one hotplate, the extractor hood switches itself on – and switches itself back off again once you've finished cooking.
You can use the Home Connect app to control the extractor hood yourself or to change the settings: Fan level, sensitivity, extractor power/level, air recirculation, or shut-off delay.
Dim lighting, soft music – why not while cooking? It makes preparing food even more enjoyable. Create your own personal feel-good ambience: You can use the Home Connect app to control the lighting of selected extractor hoods. Just choose your preferred colour and light intensity to set the mood you want. – If you so desire, for the illumination of your dishwasher, too.
When the filter of your extractor hood is saturated, the Home Connect app will tell you so. Metal grease filters, on the other hand, are required for exhaust and recirculation hoods in order to remove grease and other particulates out of the air. Your app will remind you when it's time to clean it so that it remains efficient.
The Home Connect app contains tips and instructions for changing the filter as well as a link to the online shop of the manufacturer.
"My Bosch Smart hood ensures fresh air throughout my kitchen and with the app, I can adjust the lighting to match the mood and the menu.”
With the intelligent extractor hood with the Home Connect function, unpleasant odours from cooking never have a chance to form, as they are already filtered out of the air while the food simmers.
In the Home Connect app, you can set the exhaust level of your extractor hood to suit the cooking process. The hood detects how much power it has to use based on water vapour and odour formation.
Using the app, your Home Connect extractor hood from Bosch or another home appliance brand can be controlled from your smartphone or tablet.
In addition, the app contains lots of tips on how to get the most from your cooking appliances, while keeping you in full control of the settings.
The app is intuitive to use and your dashboard is designed to be simple.
