Stuttgart/Berlin. At the #ifa2016, #bosch will be presenting new smart-home solutions that are designed to make life safer, more comfortable, and more efficient. “We are extending the #boschsmarthome System with the addition of a Smoke Alarm and Motion Detector, as well as a Scenario Manager. Furthermore, for the first time, we are presenting three new innovative smart home solutions: the #boschsmarthome 360° Indoor Camera, the Eyes Outdoor Camera, and Twinguard, our premium smoke detector with air quality sensor,” says Dr. Peter Schnaebele, managing director of Robert #boschsmarthome GmbH

The #bosch Smart Home’s Twinguard, a premium smoke detector with air quality sensor, will help make your home even safer. Thanks to professional dual ray technology, it detects dangerous situations more reliably and therefore avoids false alarms. Based on Bosch’s many years of experience in professional fire detection, the dual ray technology uses LEDs with different light wavelengths (infrared and blue) to reliably detect smoke particles of various sizes. Twinguard’s additional air quality sensor turns what was originally conceived as an emergency device into an everyday helper. It monitors room temperature, relative humidity, and air purity, thus helping to improve air quality in your home.

New motion detectors and smoke detectors automatically trigger an alarm

At the IFA, #boschsmarthome is presenting a new motion detector and additional smoke detector that are integrated into the #boschsmarthome System and can be controlled via the #boschsmarthome app. When it senses smoke, the smoke detector activates a siren in the device and sends the homeowner a message over the app. A clever additional function also allows the siren to be used to scare off unwelcome guests. The alarm is triggered by the #boschsmarthome Motion Detector or the Door/Window Contact function in the system. Integrated lighting solutions from #bosch partner Philips blink if the system detects either an intruder or smoke, making your home even safer and more secure. All this is made possible by the interaction of the different devices in the system.

Smart scenarios at the touch of a finger

The #boschsmarthome Scenario Manager makes running your connected home even more intuitive. By simply linking all the products in the system, it supports everyday tasks: for example, by checking that the heating, electrical appliances, and lights are switched off when you go out. The new Scenario Manager for the #boschsmarthome app makes everyday routines easier by allowing you to simply activate scenarios with the touch of a finger. Predefined scenarios recommend settings for all devices in the system, with three pre-set as standard: “Going out,” “Coming home,” and “Relax.” The latter creates a pleasant lighting atmosphere and temperature in your home in cooperation with #bosch partner Philips. Alternatively, you can create your own easy-to-use scenarios to help you save time and energy, and make your home more comfortable and secure.

The Scenario Manager is one of the core elements of the #boschsmarthome System. It enhances smart connectivity and communication between the devices in the system, thus generating added value for the user.

Fit for the future

At the IFA, #bosch will also be showing how connected household appliances can be integrated into the #boschsmarthome System. Starting in early 2017, it will be possible to operate the first Home Connect washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers directly through the #boschsmarthome app.

The #boschsmarthome System makes it possible to control the growing number of web-enabled appliances in the home via a single platform, which is continuously being expanded.
