I am pretty new to Homey, and still uncertain if this is the product I am looking for. I have a question about the Bosch / Siemens Home connect app. I installed it on my homey pro, and what strikes me is that I cannot use the app to control my dishwasher and dryer. In the own bosch app you just hit the button start and the dryer or dish washer starts remotely.
I cannot find any of these features in the homey home connect app. I cannot select a programm to run nor to start / stop or pause it. All I see is the time remaining, whether the door opened and how much the programm has progressed. This is information about the machine that is of less interest.
One of my primary goals for the homey is to use it to replace several separate smart home apps. If I cannot start / stop my bosch dishwasher or dryer using the homey app what is the use of this homey app?
Did I miss out on something? Anyone any suggestions?
If the functionality is not there, I’d create a support ticket or do a feature request. It didn’t have a functionality I was missing and they implemented it upon my request .
Hi and thanks for your reply. Actually this is not what I want because flows are used to automate things. I want to press de button dryer in the devices section and than dryer starts to dry…
I see no scenario to automate the start of a dryer session so the use if a flow is not what I intend
Thanks for your suggestions I really appreciate it. However this would leave me with either creating a virtual device for every dryer program I use or to have the virtual device always start the same program. This is not what i am seeking.
These are all work arounds for the fact that the homey bosch home connect app omits these functions in its interface
Does anybody have any experience with the Siemens devices beeing inactive in Homey after a while? I have three appliances that all are connected to a 2,4 Ghz wifi and a static IP. When adding them to Homey they all work well for a couple of days and the suddenly they do not communicate with Homey anymore. All three devices stops to communicate at the same time, and I have to delete and add them again to get them working. The connection to the Home connect app is not broken.
I have the same with 2 of the 4 appliances i have from Siemens, in my case the combi-microwave and 1 oven. Restart of the app wil do works sometimes, but mostly after a while it will come back as faulty. The dishwasher and cookingplate remains working fine.
No problems with my wifi in house, i can still see them and don`t see any interuptions in my wifi connection.
im trying to use it but:
temperature seems mandatory, i cant leave it blank
if I set a temperature for 600 watt microwave function then I get an error because microwave doesnt need a temperature parameter…
