Dear all,
Is there a particular reason why there is no homey app for the set of Bosch SmartHome devices? Bosch has quite a broad set of devices. I don‘t have any of them, but if they were supported by homey I would definitely consider them.
Examples:
I guess they mainly use zwave but they seem to be ready for matter as well.
Any reason why they have not been implemented yet?
The most logical reason would be that no one with these devices has the skills to create an app, and/or no one with the skills to create an app has these devices.
That was my assumption, too. But I asked because there might be other reasons/obstacles that hinder the development of an app.
Hi there, I just received my Homey Pro and thought I could easily integrate the 45 devices (thermostats, sensors, smart plugs, etc.) from Bosch that are connected to the Bosch Controller Gen1. To my surprise, there is no third party application support at the moment which is a huge bummer. Is there something in the pipeline or can it somehow be put on the feature wish list?
Hi
I‘m waiting for a Bosch-App since 1 year…no progress.
But I’m wondering, why you are surprised……havenˋt you checked compatibility of your devices before you ordered homey?
A solution could be:
Set up Home Assistant on a raspberry, connect the devices and connect HA to homey
Hi Rainer, thanks for the quick reply and proposed workaround. Yes, I indeed forgot to do the compatibility check for Bosch since I was sure this would work 
All I checked was the devices that previously wouldn’t work with my current homekit setup. Let’s see if I can get the home assistant solution working. Thanks again! Fritz
Hi, according to https://www.bosch-smarthome.com/uk/en/smart-home-explained/matter/ both Buy Room thermostat II | Bosch Smart Home and Room thermostat II 230 V (underfloor heating) | Bosch Smart Home are Matter compatible - just checking if I’d be able to connect them to my HomeyPro ecosystem to manage valves Rehau UNI 230V…
Any experience with this setup, please?
Does Homey support those valves?
AFAIK it is not Homey to manage valves - it is the Room termostat to turn them on/off based on the temperature in the room (and let the hot water from the gas boiler flow into the floor heating tube)
The thermostat implementation for Matter is fairly basic (at least on Homey, I don’t know if the Matter specification is more elaborate): you can basically set thermostat mode (heat/cool/auto) and target temperature (for the room the thermostat is located it, I assume).
If that’s enough for what you want to do, there’s a good chance it’ll work, although you have to be aware that Homey seems to have issues with maintaining connections with Matter devices.
Hi,
I am using it via Matter and I can confirm that "Raumthermostat II, Raumthermosthat II 230v and Heizköperthermostat II are working via Matter and Homey. You are getting 2 devices: 1) Room climate control to set the temperatur and Thermostat to read the temperature. It is working with “Homey Heizungsmanager”. You can control the temperature but you cannot switch between Cooling and Heating via Homey. I am doing this between Summer/Winter-period in Bosch Smart Home Manager twice a year.
@Alexander_Adam1
Do I need the Bosch Smart Home Controller, or can the Raumthermostat II 230V be integrated via Matter without it?
I’m considering buying a couple of Bosch Raumthermostat II 230V but would prefer to avoid purchasing the Bosch Smart Home Controller.
I think Raumthermostat is not avaible as Thread( [+M]) version…
Thank you for your reply.
Seems like I have three options now:
