Can I retrofit my home appliances with Home Connect?

Upgrading or retrofitting existing appliances tends to be difficult for the following reasons: Compared to a solution designed from scratch, one that is built in at a later date will always be less satisfactory and comparatively expensive. Home appliances are also subject to special safety precautions, which have to be taken into account and tested if electronics parts are changed on site.

We also advise against using smart plugs or controllable adapters due to the risk of sudden outages.

Can other elements like lights or heating be connected to the system?

This isn’t envisaged so far, at the moment we're really focusing on home appliances. However, we're keeping an open mind, in that our devices and the entire Home Connect system can be integrated into other home automation systems. Find out more about our cooperation with partners.

Can appliances be accessed by several devices at the same time?

Yes, a home appliance can be accessed by different mobile devices.

Where can I buy Home Connect appliances?

Home Connect appliances are available in nearly all electronic retail stores and selected kitchen furniture stores.

You can find more details on which types of home appliances work with Home Connect in the Smart Home Appliances section.
