Bosch Smart Home Unveils Innovations at IFA 2024

Bosch Smart Home celebrates the centennial of the IFA in Berlin with the presentation of a new product line that further enhances the smart home experience. With the [+M] product line, the company now offers devices compatible with Matter, the new communications standard.

The [+M] devices can be used with harmonized applications in the Bosch Smart Home system as well as with the corresponding functions in the preferred Matter system. Each user can now flexibly set up their own smart home to meet their requirements. The first products in the [+M] product line are the Radiator Thermostat II [+M], the Door/Window Contact II [+M], and the Plug Compact [+M].

The system is characterized by simple installation and harmonized automation, scenarios, and services. Bosch Smart Home began Matter integration in 2024 with the Matter update of the Smart Home Controller II to a Matter Bridge. With the [+M] product line, the company now takes the logical next step and offers even greater flexibility for a customized smart home setup.

The devices in the [+M] product line can communicate in the two wireless standards Zigbee and Matter. This means they can be integrated directly into a Matter system without a Bosch Smart Home Controller, although integration into the Bosch Smart Home system in the usual way is still guaranteed.

Switching between Bosch Smart Home and the preferred Matter system is possible in either direction and whenever desired, even after purchase. Bosch Smart Home thus offers the utmost flexibility for setting up one’s preferred smart home solution – either in a fully comprehensive Bosch Smart Home with a maximal range of functions or in an individually customized Matter system.
