I’m a big fan of Bosch home appliances, but I had no idea they had a smart home range.
Yes, I had no idea until I saw the press release today. Hoping to test these out soon
Thank you for taking the time to reply. Always appreciated
If you have the time to read and comment, the very least is I reply. Happy to help always
Have you tested how reliable these are yet I’m interested in getting some but not sure if the price tag is worth it or not. I’m thinking of getting the motion sensors and window and door sensor for HomeKit automations,
Thanks.
Not had chance to test as of yet
