Stuttgart, Germany – More and more people in Germany are opting for connected appliances that interact intelligently: a study by Statista predicts that by 2025, nearly half of all households in Germany will be smart homes. Sales of smart-home appliances are also rising steadily in Germany, growing more than 30 percent last year. By 2025, sales are expected to be worth nearly 10 billion euros. Bosch is now expanding and adding to its existing activities in the smart-home market. The new Home Connect Plus app provided by the Bosch subsidiary Residential IoT Services GmbH will make it much easier to control all the appliances in a smart home. Now it takes just one app – Home Connect Plus – to control the connected devices of 35 manufacturers. In this way, Bosch is clearing away the obstacles to the acceptance of smart-home appliances. According to a McKinsey study, 67 percent of smart-home users want to be able to control all their connected products without any hassle, and regardless of brand, using just one app. "With our Home Connect Plus smartphone app, we are setting new standards when it comes to smart homes' user-friendliness and interoperability. Adding the new app to our portfolio makes sense, and puts us in pole position when it comes to connected appliances," says Dr. Michael Bolle, the Chief Digital Officer at Robert Bosch GmbH.
