It ensures uninterrupted automation even during internet outages, offers automatic software updates, and supports seamless integration with partner products. Designed for easy setup and intuitive control via the Bosch Smart Home app, it empowers professionals to create smart, secure, and efficient living environments. ## Description From the manufacturer The heart All of the smart devices in your home come together through the Smart Home controller. The information is centrally pooled here. Data protection first Communication in the Bosch Smart Home system is encrypted. If desired, all data can also be stored locally. Always up to date Automatic and free software updates are carried out so that your Bosch Smart Home is always up-to-date. This ensures maximum security. Open if desired If you want to open your Bosch Smart Home in order to integrated products from compatible partners, this is possible without a problem – you decide. The brain of the system A communication centre that thinks for itself In order for your smart radiator thermostat to automatically turn down the temperature during ventilation, it must be informed about the open window. The Smart Home controller takes care of that. It receives the information from the door/window contact and passes it on to the radiator thermostat – all this is done automatically and in seconds. From near and far This interface to the Bosch Smart Home app You can control your Bosch Smart Home in a wide variety of ways – using the Bosch Smart Home app, for example. In this case too, the Smart Home controller acts as the interface. Regardless of whether you want to control your Bosch Smart Home from your own Wi-Fi or while out and about. Emergency mode Ensuring system functionality even in the event of an internet outage Emergency mode Ensuring system functionality even in the event of an internet outage Data storage Local as standard for maximum data security Data storage Local as standard for maximum data security Maximum number of devices 100 Maximum number of devices 100 Radio frequency 868 MHz; 2.4 GHz Radio frequency 868 MHz; 2.4 GHz Radio range > 100 m Radio range > 100 m Anyone home? Smart scenarios Points of contact with other systems and partners Your Bosch Smart Home is able to simulate your presence when you’re not home at all. You decide which devices should be part of the presence simulation. Use scenarios to control multiple devices at once. You can also design scenarios all of your own. Different interfaces and wireless protocols are no problem for the Smart Home controller. It therefore makes integration of partner products possible regardless of manufacturer. Installation Controller | Bosch Smart Home Review: Best Control Hub? Maybe. - Being the kind of nerdy bloke who loves faffing around with electronics, home automation and engineering it's inevitable that you'll look at something like this. There are of course many ways to achieve home automation - which really just boils down to turning lights on and off really. There are the internet based ones such as She Who Cannot Be Named which rely on using the internet to control your device and there are hub based ones that allow internet access for control but have local control. I've used a few versions and loads of Chinese cheapo stuff thanks to getting them to review. And over time I've come to feel that this isn't ideal. I wanted a system that is home centred and not internet based and thus I arrived here at Bosch. What attracted me came down to two things. It's Bosch not a no name Chinese or other Far Eastern company that was probably harvesting as much information as possible. Secondly the Bosch system is based on local control. You do not need to be connected to the internet for this to work once set up and that means your data is yours, stored at home. It means that if your internet drops out for a second or two when an automation is due to start it will still work. Happy days. The build quality is very good as you would hope and the setup is easy peasy. Range is likely to be fine for a up to a medium sized estate house but not if you have a bigger house with solid walls. However, this isn't too much of a problem because the more Bosch devices you add the better the range because they daisy chain the data stream. In other words if you have a plug in range of the hub but another plug further away the first plug will communicate with the last out of range plug to pass on the hub data. Basically the more things you add the better the overall data coverage. The app is excellent. It's excellent because it's simple. The downside is that if you are the kind of person that wants a gazillion options (most of which never get used) then the app might be limited. However, if you want simplicity, robustness and an easy to set up routine, I've never seen anything easier. Top marks from me for sure. Overall, I'll be changing over everything to Bosch over time - at least as much as I can. Which is the negative in that the range of auxiliary devices is limited compared to some manufacturers. However, the security of not using Chinesium systems and locally stored data is a winner for me. Review: It's reliable! - You need the Bosch Smart Home Controller to be able to install any Bosch smart home device. The setup itself is very easy - you download the Bosch smart home app, plugin the controller into mains and into your home router, scan its code through the app, and that's it! The smart home controller requires a bit of patience to set up because it updated during the setup process - I hope Bosch try to fix that time soon (this can really take half an hour!) But once set-up, this device has rock-solid reliability. I could easily add three smart Thermostats to it and they are all working as expected. The app is very reliable and so is the communication between the app and the controller (and the controller and the thermostats). The UI of the app is also user-friendly and rich. Overall this justifies the "smart" in its name. ## Features - Bosch Smart Home Controller - together with the Bosch Smart Home App, it is the heart of the Bosch Smart Home System - Frequency: 868 MHz, 2.4 GHz - Automatically organizes the communication between all linked Bosch Smart Home devices and bundles all information - Bosch Smart Home app available in English - Guaranteed system functionality in case of Internet failure at home - Local storage as standard for maximum data security ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B071SDYQF3 | | Best Sellers Rank | 71,949 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 44 in Home Automation Hubs & Controllers | | Brand | Bosch | | Colour | White | | Country Of Origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 3,082 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04057749322678 | | Included Components | Controller;Power Supply;Network Cable (RJ45);Wall Bracket with Fixings;Installation Instructions | | Item Type Name | Bosch Smart Home Controller | | Item Weight | 0.19 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.19 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Bosch | | Manufacturer Part Number | 8750000163 | | Material | Plastic | | Model Number | 8750000163 | | Product Warranty | 12 months warranty. | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Unit count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bosch - **Colour:** White - **Item weight:** 0.19 Kilograms - **Material:** Plastic - **Unit count:** 1.0 count ## Images ![Smart Home Controller for smart home devices (UK execution) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5169lBDR7SL.jpg) ![Smart Home Controller for smart home devices (UK execution) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81C7oQqbs0L.jpg) ![Smart Home Controller for smart home devices (UK execution) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PPeECVmIL.jpg) ![Smart Home Controller for smart home devices (UK execution) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71acnmer55L.jpg) ![Smart Home Controller for smart home devices (UK execution) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Mbb7hKHiL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this hub be used to bridge smart thermostat 2 to a Bosch greenstar Kombi boiler 8000?** A: No- although the HC plus app does suggest that this will be possible eventually. We use the controller to set our radiator thermostats to best use the smart boiler but they still don't 'talk' to each other **Q: If i just buy this controller, can I integrate it into my Homekit system and use my existing motion sensors and smoke alarms for the security system?** A: Dear Bounax, thank you very much for your feedback. At the moment it is not possible to use the existing motion sensors and smoke alarms for the security system. Yours sincerely, Your Bosch Smart Home Team **Q: Why do i have to have home connect app for my laundry, easy control for thermostat but if i want trvs on apple homekit i need this? why not 1 solution** A: I think you may find that all of these can be controlled via the Bosch app. Bosch TRV’s are excellent. **Q: Do the the radiator thermostats work directly with the easycontrol, or would we need to also get the smart home controller?** A: The Bosch smart TRVs wirelessly communicate and work directly with the Bosch EasyControl device which connected (by wire) to the boiler. There is no need for a smart home controller to set up controlled heating zones if you have the Bosch easycontrol device wired into your boiler. The whole lot is then controlled through the easy control app. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Control Hub?

Very good quality and everything just works. *by F***N on 28 December 2023* This is a review for the Controller II - I didn't own the first version but I believe these reviews represent a mix of both versions. I couldn't be more impressed with the Bosch Smart Home devices and this new controller. It's all so simple and just works - automatic updates including firmware updates for linked devices (I have a smart plug compact, motion detector and door contact II). The app is also very good. All well thought out and intuitive. Recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - Bosch Smart Home Controller for smart home devices (UK execution) - Bosch Smart Home Room Thermostat II for Controlling Smart Radiator thermostats --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/54253820-smart-home-controller-for-smart-home-devices-uk-execution](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/54253820-smart-home-controller-for-smart-home-devices-uk-execution) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-08-02*
