Bosch Smart Home: Managing multiple controllers may cost extra
Summary (English): Recent reports say Bosch plans to offer the ability to manage multiple Bosch Smart Home controllers centrally via a single app — but that convenience would cost €4.99 per month. The original message was in German; this is the translated summary and context.
Original (translated)
“Just now we reported positively about Bosch’s smart home system using the example of radiator thermostats. Messages like this one, however, would be avoidable. Bosch will reportedly offer the option to centrally manage multiple of its smart home systems via one app in the future, but the fun is supposed to cost €4.99 per month.”
What we found
- No clear official confirmation from Bosch about a €4.99/month fee was found at the time of writing. Official Bosch pages and app listings currently describe the Bosch Smart Home app and controller but do not mention a subscription for multi-hub management.

Context & user question
If true, charging for central management could frustrate users who expect basic cross-device control to be included. Would a small monthly fee be acceptable for you, or would you look for alternatives? Share your thoughts below.
